Does anybody have pictures from disassembly and reassembly? The rear arm is held by three big screws as I see. One of them is the screw for the shock absorber. Then 2 screws for the bushes and the brake cable. Am I write? then it should come out. Do I need a compressor for the shock absorber or is a...

I would get the ECU as well if possible, it may have a different ign' advance curve and fuel map. The two heads differ in regards to the cams. The Honda engine workshop manual refers to this. Ohhhh.
