Update. I was really close on the tuning and the bike was running well so I decided to take a longer test ride. Bike started to run hot after about 45 minutes and I noticed a oil leak in the head area. Put in an order for a frame kit from Scottly and decided to pull the head to see if it might be the cam pucks. Turns out one of the cam pucks had somehow ripped causing the leak and also starving the rockers of oil destroying the rockers and cam.
Now have replacement rocker tower and a CX1 cam here. Was hoping to just drop the new cam in but as I learned from Hondaman, the CX1 cam requires extremely tight valve guide clearances lest the rocker overshoot the valve. Thus the head will soon go out for a valve job and some porting.
Any opinions on cast iron vs bronze guides?
Any final opinions on the Cyclex Superflow valves? Cyclex will likely be doing the head work and the KPMI valves are more expensive.
On another note, also decided to order some Renthal bars and a new Nissin master cylinder as I have grown tired of the clubmans. Will update once the parts are installed.
