Maybe you can work on my turbos. Might save a bunch of money!!!

We didn't get the CBX550 in the US. I think Canada got them, but basically they were an up-sized CBX400....which we also didn't get

Is that an adjust ment for compression damping on the reservoir? Is there an adjustment for rebound?

That IS the air box. The hose goes from there to the valve cover.

Pretty sure he means the VTR, since he mentioned the "normal disc". Before 89 the VTR had an inboard disc. However, on the 89 with the external disc, it was only a single, and I am pretty sure the forks that year went up in size.

Late to the convo, but this is what the boot looks like in the crappy EMGO filters: Notice that they block the air jet orifices and are smaller than the carb throat: Not to mention they they're filtering ability might keep small birds out of your engine....but that's about it. Here's a...

Just for posterity, because this just has to be saved.... When you want that 2-stroke look, without having to be bothered with that 2-stroke oil

Yeah but most of the motorcycle engines I've dealt with are about 3 times what they are for my GS. My R6, for example is .005"-.008" IN and .009"-.012" EX

80% done? I'd say ALL done! Completely done! Throw it in the trash Done! D-O-N-E, done!

10 times faster? Wow! I didn't realize the Coke/Foil method had to be scrubbed for 20 hours!!! That's whatcha call process improvement! ;D

...probably referring to the plume of smoke trailing behind when it runs, and drives. That's no typo, man!

How does that work without the modernized condensifier storage unit? Or did you skip that step and do a work around?

Are there any markings on those forks? They look like they may be Ohlins forks from the time.

I don't think those are the forks that came on it, but I don't know what they are. They look fairly old school USD, but the 750RU came with standard forks. They may have been added as a racing component, or a transplant......gonna have to do some research. hmmmmm

Her's a basic how-to, I put together. And BTW CrazyPJ was a big source for some of the tips included in the process. http://www.caferacer.net/forum/tips-tricks/24204-rebuilding-rfy-cheap-shocks.html

Mikes XS filters have an internal molded velocity stack, and no step in the boot, so they would be in the "good quality" category.

Don't use the cheap EMGO style pods. Get good quality, filters like UNI or K&N. Here's why: http://www.caferacer.net/forum/tips-tricks/19639-pod-filter-thread-geeto.html
