is the way forward, he'll re-manufacture your old one too (to be used again), you will also need shims to set the correct gap

Hello. First of all the renix is very very reliable I would very much doubt that is the cause, small cracking in the resin is normal it happens when drying. The flywheel sensor would not cause a misfire. If you have popping etc it is more likely to be a vacuum leak, and being a cvt there is a lot of...

Hey, to get covers off, just work you way around removing the hog rings (get new ones) separate seat back from base.

Most of my chrome was faded and crap, so decided to just leave a little chrome around, bumper a gutters and d...

Are you going to leave the rub strips off? I used to definitely prefer it without them but I'm undecided now.

I do have some bump strips to go on.
