All left / right descriptions are from the point of view of the rider when seated on the bike in the riding position.
Note: the condenser upgrade cable supplied will have a black cover to make it inconspicuous enough for a concours show bike. The example shown has a red cover to highlight the correct location and routing.
1. Place the bike on the center stand.
2. Remove the left side cover.
3. Loosen the rear engine mounting bolt. This is a long bolt that passes through both rear engine hangers. If mounted correctly, the nut, washer and lock washer should be on the right side of the bike. Yours may be reversed.

TUbliss Installation Instructions
November 2nd, 2009 · No Comments
First time installation will require drilling a 10mm hole in your rim. After the TUbliss Core is installed on the rim, it stays on the rim. It’s not necessary, nor recommended, to remove it when changing tires. We recommend installing TUbliss on new tires that have never been mounted. OEM rim locks leave impressions on the inside of your old tire and any tears or damage from a previous installation may cause leaks or other problems.

Congratulations on purchasing the finest hood hinge kit made. We are very proud of this kit, and you will be too! We have tried to make the installation as easy as possible. Most of the kit is pre-assembled to help you out. You will need tools, a drill, and 1/8”, 1/4”, and 3/8” bits, and a round file.
1. When the hood closes with the new hinge, it locks down with the stock hood latch. The safety latch, or secondary latch is no longer needed, so remove it.

6600 Series Chip Module Installation
April 27th, 2009 · No Comments
The vehicle must be turned off and the keys MUST NOT be in the ignition during the entire installation. We recommend that you place the keys in your pocket while installing the module. Failure to follow this suggestion may result in damage to your PCM.
Removal of PCM
Begin by disconnecting the negative battery terminal of your car’s battery. Next, locate your car’s PCM. The PCM is held in place by a 7/32” or 5.5mm bolt. Please remove this bolt. Next, remove the wiring harness by use of 10mm socket and ratchet. Slowly and gently pull the PCM out of its location and out of the car.

Nix that noise on the Acura MDX
November 14th, 2008 · No Comments
Walt’s 2001 Acura® MDX comes into your shop complaining that the dashboard is creaking. Just the thought of crawling under the dashboard of Walt’s Acura makes your back start creaking. Fortunately, you don’t have to be a contortionist to perform this repair. The fix involves removing the front damper/spring assembly, grinding off body spot weld burrs and refinishing the surface, and/or installing self adhesive shims (Acura P/N 75826-634-300, H/C 0701896) three per side, to the damper mounting base.
