I have a 1975 CB550F Supersport all original with 5,000 miles. I have put 2,000 miles on since I have owned it and have been running it pretty hard. Many times when I go to shift into second the bike will 'get caught between the gear' and just rev and when I try to shift again it will grind gears. Is this a common problem with 550's or do I have an issue with my clutch? This also happens in other gear transitions not just 1st to 2nd.
Also I cannot seem to properly adjust my cam chain tension. I know it is an automatic adjuster but the I can hear the engine 'rattling' and it is very frustrating because it used to run smooth when I first got it.
Any help is appreciated and I did post a picture of my bike on the gallery.
Thanks
