Hi gents, I have a CRF450X barrel that needs a good hone, might even need a rebore to get the marks out. Being relatively new to the area I don’t know of any reputable places to get this done? Wondering if anyone had any recommendations? There is a local Honda dealer here called Maxim, not sure if they do this work or farm it out, however I had them fit a new exhaust valve to another CRF450X Head about a year ago and they put it together wrong, mixed inlet valve collets and exhaust valve collets up (inlet and exhaust valves have different shaft diameters and collet sizes), we are all human so mistakes happen and they fixed it as soon as I pointed it out (but it shouldn’t have happened!), then I recently had the 600 mile service performed by them on my wifes new FZ07 to keep the warranty valid and they tensioned the chain as if it was a bow string, I haven’t seen a chain that tight ever, it would have really done a number on the gearbox output shaft bearing in a few hundred miles, so not really wanting to give more service work to them.. they where great for buying bikes and parts, nice people but their service dept doesn’t seem to be very good. Any suggestions? I need a shop that can check if a hone will remove the marks or rebore and hone if that is what is needed.
