CB500/550 / Clutch service limits CB500K1
« on: November 07, 2021, 05:25:43 PM »
Would forum members please be good enough to checkout to photos I have attached to this thread. I am interested in service limits and plate quantities, I have purchased a new clutch cable as the one fitted took two hands to pull in,however when I inspected it no snagging was evident, does this early model have a paticular issue with the clutch?

CB500/550 / Clutch mechanism
« on: November 01, 2021, 01:01:23 PM »
I've discovered why the clutch isn't working on my project bike 1 the cable looks like it's been under artillery fire, 2 a small collar is missing where(see photo) the ball bearing sit's. I will have to see if Silvers have a pair. There is a rim on the outer edge which would be difficult to match.

CB500/550 / 71 advance/retard mechanism
« on: October 27, 2021, 03:10:14 PM »
Hello I’m just about to strip my 71 advance and retard mechanism and I’ve noted that there is an index mark on the outside of the central cam,Should the index mark lineup with the timing mark(hole) indicated by the Biro pen on the right hand side of the plate or as close to it as possible, also does anyone notice anything out of the ordinary on this advance and retard unit it is the number 323 which I believe is correct for the 71 model.

CB500/550 / Cam box vent pipe
« on: October 26, 2021, 08:34:46 PM »
After assembly of my carbs from a box of bits I've discovered two vent pipes , the longer one comes out of the vent on the cam box which is very long and would fit on the offset tube appature on the air box, the other pipe has a larger diameter pipe and is sleeved down to a smaller diameter pipe but doesn't appear to have anywhere to live. The bikes is a 71 500k1
