So I’m rebuilding a ‘89 XRV650 and I want to paint the engine. The side cases I removed and I want them to be powdercoated but I’m in doubt about the colour. Powdercoat can be done in most RAL colours. Anyone ever done this and know which colour comes closest to the original?

I have a year 2000 RD 07a that has a hairline fissure in the engine case. I am looking for an engine. I just wondered why the engine code states rd04 while the frame is RD07. Are the crank cases the same on both models? Richtwin

Can someone explain to me why the price of a Honda C90 on ebay on most cases seems to be a lot more than a Dominator? I know people are customising both bikes but there seems to be a massive demand for the C90 at the moment. Considering its the best selling bike ever I would have thought there...

Split the cases on 97 XRV750 but now during assembly the rear cylinder cam shaft sprocket timing marks slightly off...could it be off one tooth on lower sprocket, any suggestions? As you can see in attached photo the left side horizontal mark is about a half or quarter tooth below the right...

Hi all, i am new to this site and need some of your collective wisdom. i am rebuilding my RD07A and have come across unusual wear on the inside of the crank cases that looks like the crank rubbing against them. I cannot find any thrust washers or any method of adjusting crank lateral movement. i...

Anyone done this? I'm looking at trying to find some brackets to get it done. Caribou cases brackets are $$$ as heck. Thought of trying Heavy duty case mounts. The Givi boxes I got are way too big 45ltr. boxes and my spare 1550 pelicans are to big as well. Trying to keep bike as close to bar...

Would anyone know or could recommend the code or paint for the crankcase covers on my 89 nx650 ? I would like to start freshening her up and the cases really let her down :rolleyes:

I've been reading up on this. Most fuel is E5 and it's going to go to E10 soon. The ethanol draws in moisture and separates from the petrol (phase separation) and the resulting acidic mix sits at the bottom of the fuel tank rotting it away from the inside. The general concensus seems to be that...

I'm just beginning the rebuild of a 1981 XL500R. Checking out the lower engine casing I spotted what looked like a missing oil blanking plug. There are two drillways which connect the input and output of the oil pump. Suction is plugged but pressure is open. Checking cases on eBay I see that...
