sorry pic is blurry I didnt set my camera to closeup. anyways you can see the clip still with the 2 little bolts that hold it on. it goes on the notch on the gear shaft there. youll see what i mean when ya get one. keeps sprocket from coming off obviously.

i have one of those clips somewhere i got when i bought a sprocket. I never used it. if i find the clip id give it to you. but I dont know where it is at the moment...

I just won a couple of auctions and ordered some parts from my local Honda Dealership!

On the way:
- Head with fresh valves and fresh valve job
- Thumb Throttle
- Head Gasket Kit
- Rubber Gromet Lot
- Fuel Tank Mount Bolts
- Pulse Generator Cover
- Brake link bolt
- "Brand new" carburetor

Big thanks to Nick_R_23 for hooking me up with some parts!

A couple of things I would like to do while I am waiting for parts that I'd like some advice on:

- I want to strip down and re-paint the fuel tank so what grit sandpaper do you guys recommend? Or anything special I should do?
- The front shocks feel as if they have no fluid in them so my question is can I refill them without taking them off the bike or do I have to completely take them off to refill them?
- Also, where the swing arm attaches to the frame it looks like there is a bigger gap on the left side of the bike, wha'ts the best way to get that straight and aligned?
- I tried using Back to Black on the front fender and it seemed to brighten the plastic up a lot but is there something better or a way to re-dye the plastic?

Things I still need that you guys might have for sale:

- 200x exhaust (stock or aftermarket) I just don't want to spend a fortune on an exhaust
- Chain sprocket cover (the one on the motor)

Put the new head on but have my doubts on this motor...keep your fingers crossed

**inv3ctiv3** · 08-22-2009, 09:54 PM

After lots of problems/roadblocks it runs and drives now! I am just waiting for the exhaust I just ordered, the new thumb throttle cable cause I hate twist throttle and need to adjust the clutch cable as it kinda creeps when you pull it in after riding while holding the clutch.

**inv3ctiv3** · 09-11-2009, 03:37 AM

Well I am not sure if all of you caught it but the motor had a little implosion a couple fo weeks ago.....The cam chain tensioner and cam chain snapped resulting in the cam sprocket bolts going through the pulse generator base plate! I can't thank Eric350x enough as he shipped me out a ton of parts I needed for just the cost of shipping! Seriously thanks man. I got her all back together today and she wouldn't start....no matter how much I fiddled with the timing, etc....I put on a couple of my original parts and it fired up! It is midnight here though so I can't exactly run it and see how it runs. I have to adjust the exhaust, adjust the cam chain tension and put the CDI cover back on tomorrow. I plan on riding Sunday so wish me luck! I'll update this thread with some pics in the next couple of days, who knows I might be able to get some video of the ride on Sunday!

**inv3ctiv3** · 09-11-2009, 11:37 AM

So the best way to adjust the cam chain tensioner is to start it and let it idle then loosen the adjusting screw?

**rdlsz24** · 09-11-2009, 01:43 PM

Yeah that's how you adjust it. Very simple. You should notice an immediate difference in the sound of the engine.

Ok cause I pushed the tensioner arm all the way down when I put the motor back together so next time I start it I'll let it idle and just loosen it and see how it sounds.
