Thanks, agree with Hairygit, been in the latex dip moulding business for a good few years. Vaseline is a no no with rubber. Always keep a tube of KY in the garage.........  But red rubber grease will also act as a lube and helps prevent drying out ?

I have just bought a full set of carb rubbers for the CB550K0 I bought off James beginning of this year. The reason for this was as the only fault I could find with the bike was occasionally it idles high when you pull up to a junction so suspect air leak on the inlet somewhere. The originals are quite hardened and don`t think clamps are sealing them.
Anyway, any tips for fitting ? Soak in hot water first ? use rubber grease or fit dry ?
Thanks for any tips.

No never had an RD500. The NS is fantastic build quality. Been told by former owner who has had NS, RD, RG that the NS is best with regard to quality. Great fun to ride.

I bought my 2008 Vmax from Frank. He was great to haggle with and is a good down to earth guy. His word is his bond. No hesitation recommending him. All his bikes looked fantastic.

What is the thumbscrew adjuster & spring underneath the throttle grip housing for on a CB550 K0 ? Can`t see mention of it in owners manual. I guess it is to adjust the resistance of the twist grip ? Thanks for your help.
