Honda TRX 500 FE

An unusual and quite modern project for us: The recovery of this agricultural quad engine which has an awful lot of parts for a 500cc single as a result of multiple clutches and low ratios etc.

It had suffered a catastrophic piston failure, leaving debris everywhere! The time taken is a surprising 70 + hours, despite just doing the bare minimum including fitting a good used crankshaft.

Honda's engineering is excellent, everything fits perfectly, even the interchanged parts.
