HAYABUSA CLUTCH COVER SUPPORT

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

OCBP1300

Remove the Allen screw behind the oil filter with these blockoff plates.

PVBGX1000 - Reed Chamber Block-Off Covers

For offroad and race use only. Remove the stock reed chamber covers from the valve cover to install the APE covers. Leave the stock reed valve assembly in the valve chamber. This eliminates the need for a separate gasket.

Valve Guide Hones

Use with 1/4" drill motor.
Use with solvent or cutting oil only.
Two or three strokes should be all that is necessary to size a tight guide.
Not recommended for use on new OEM steel type guides.
