About the Honda NRX1800DA Valkyrie Rune
Plan the Rune’s clutch and engine sealing work around the components actually being opened.
Honda’s 2004 U.S. parts catalog identifies the NRX1800DA4 Rune with painted wheels and a forward handlebar. These details help distinguish it from the other Rune versions when checking a used or restored motorcycle. Confirm the model identification as well: wheels and handlebars can be changed after manufacture.
For clutch work, separate the worn stack components from the sealing parts needed to close the engine again. The individual clutch plate and clutch-cover gasket listed here are distinct products. A plate listing does not establish the number, types or order of all plates in the assembly.
