Title: 1972 CB500 Four K1 cutting out
Post by: 1stclassdiver on July 23, 2014, 05:36:24 PM

Hi, my bike has just started cutting out at any time, engine stops, no ignition, no lights, nothing. Poking about with the fuse, rectifier & the voltage control and it will come back to life but will cut out again at any time. Could this problem be to do with the rectifier or voltage controller?
Any info would be appreciated.

No, either the fuse, fuse holder or ignition switch

Thanks for that, the fuse has been playing up a bit, is it worth upgrading to a blade type instead of the original glass type.

Simple answer YES
