Honda Top End General Description (DVD: TCRF450R03D)
The Top End of your Honda 4 stroke should be replaced each year for trail riders and every 10 to 20 hours if you ride competitively. Replacing the Top End regularly will improve performance and help to insure that part of the piston doesn’t break off and damage the bottom end which is very costly to repair. Can you afford to pay the $230 shop labor cost each time the piston needs to be replaced? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could do it yourself with confidence just like the pro’s do? We’ll show you how to replace your Top End for a fraction of one service charge!

This DVD is designed for those who prefer watching a demonstration rather than reading a manual or fumbling your way through the process. After watching our detailed step-by-step video, you should be able to service your Top End in approximately 4 hours if you possess moderate mechanical skills.

We’ll show you how to do this in your garage with minimal special tools. The mechanic speaks slowly so you can watch the video and take notes if you like. Unlike most maintenance videos that focus on the actor, this video is shot at close range so you can see the details. You can see each part through disassembly and reassembly. No steps are skipped. You’ll even learn how to inspect the head and check for valve leaks.

The savings estimate below describes the value you will get from this video if you are a trail rider. Just think how much you’ll save if you ride competitively!

What you don’t get!

• Specific Torque settings
• Consult your service manual since this procedure applies to many motorcycles and your bike may have already been modified.

Top reasons to use our DVDs:

• People learn faster from and instructional DVD than from reading a repair manual.
  
• You’ll be more confident of doing the task after watching a professional than you would be after reading the service / repair manual.
  
• Service / repair manuals don’t show you how to make your own tools. Some of our instructional DVD’s show you how to make inexpensive tools.
  
• Service / repair manuals don’t go into the same detail as found in the DVD.
  
• The DVD applies to more types of bikes than the service / repair manual covers.
  
• You can preview the level of effort required to do the job before you start. This is difficult to assess with the service / repair manual.
  
• The service / repair manual generally shows one way to do the task. When applicable, the DVD will show several ways.
  
• Sometimes the service / repair manual recommends removing parts (Radiators / carburetors) that aren’t necessary to be removed to do the procedure correctly.
  
• The service / repair manual doesn’t describe how the parts operate. The DVD describes how some parts operate.
  
• We recommend using the motorcycle repair or service manual as a reference for specifications.
• However, there’s nothing better than watching someone do the procedure.
  
• The repair manual just isn’t as good as a video when it comes to showing and describing a process.
