dynamic timing just take the alt cover off - if the bike is on the center stand it won't leak much.
as for springs, all suppliers I know have them are U.S. based

advCo said:Awesome. I like the blue backlighting, but does it effect your night vision when night riding?

Am having trouble getting the tacho to work so ot may not be there long!
irk miller said:Whatever oil you use, make sure it meets the requirements of JASO-MA. Personally I use Rotella T4 15w-40 for all of my wet clutch bikes, but the oil debates are far and wide.
I run full synthetic in mine but it's Rotella again (5W/40 plus 2oz ZDDP per 5 litres) Pretty sure you can get in touch with Shell (they have a forum for bikes) and find out what it's called in Britain/Euriope. Mobile 1 is also OK for wet clutch (according to Mobile spec shets) Brendon is also using Rotella 5W/40. When I stripped his bike, cam and rockers were in better condition after 2,500 miles than when I originally built it (more 'polished') His cam is also 'gun drilled with drilling's for each bearing and lobe.Sderbyshire said:Thanks, do you use ma1 or ma2 spec oils?
I dont see the rotella much on this side of the pond, usually use Shell Ultra 4t in the Ducati’s which is MA2 spec, but they are dry clutch?
Is fully synthetic appropriate for these old Honda’s ?
