@@debt_slav3381 Cheers mate. Yeah hopefully it does. These bikes are a bit of a niche, but they are so fun to ride. It's nice having a simple bike to ride and work on. Especially as everything is so expensive now too run. Glad you like the videos👍

What is the year model of this engine.

wow!!!

Great work it's good to see the workmanship when I get my vfr750. I know where to come. Shame, I didn't know of you when I had my Honda GB 500TT it was flat in performance. I was very disappointed, so I sold it. Lovely looking bike, but no go😢

What sort of gain does a flow job get. Is it suitable for a road bike

@SuggyRacing

@@andywilliams4063 It would definitely be good on a road bike, it all helps it with performance. Ben can probably answer better than me, but if you only do porting it will help, but not as much as having the other work done too. It's a balance getting it all running well. A good set up on the Dyno would help a lot too. 👍

Good information! Another subscriber... a question: what power do you think you'll get from that engine? Regards from Portugal

@@JeanMelim Hey. Thanks for the follow, appreciate it. We are hoping for around the 60hp mark. Which isn't enormous, but for a small engine it would be quite the percentage increase on what is standard. My bike made 48hp, the maximum these bikes make as standard is around 50hp. So it's slightly under at the moment. There's loads you can do to these, we decided to do it a budget friendly as we could. The next stage is doing larger pistons and much more work. Hopefully this will be a noticeable difference in performance alongside other CB500 bikes 😁👍

short guides for exhaust valves. Can it disipate the heat like that?.

Yes without issue. As a percentage I have only removed 5% of the EX guide which is minimal. You are right in what you’re thinking, it is always better to have valve stability & heat dissipation over the small gain in flow which is why on any heads we do, we would only ever remove valve guide material if there is enough to remove without sacrificing stability & heat dissipation.
