Had mine laced by a guy who lives 5 minutes from DSS, DSS had sent me the wrong spokes but he went and got the correct ones and laced it all up, job done! (by him)

Could it be the fuse? It-s only got 3 and the tail light on its own would not have a separate fuse..would it? everything else works. It's a 550 btw

No I have no power at the lamp so problem seems to be further back, are there any connections between tail loom and headlamp spaghetti?

My tail light has stopped working and I have checked the connections to the rear light, power comes through when brake is pulled but nothing on the other wires. Headlight and brake light work fine. Does anyone have an idea as to where the problem might be?

I had some like that but just carefully shaved off a bit inside the grommet and they fitted perfectly

I had the same problem with my 550 rear shoes, filed a bit off the ends and sanded shoes a bit and inside rear hub to get them to fit and no problems since.

Just use the fast idle screw, can do it with your gloves on. Never understood the 'race to the bottom' with idle speeds myself

ok cheers for that, I have a perfectly serviceable pedal at present but is not chrome just a dull alloy but don't want to spend £35 on a DSS pedal if it don't fit

Just a quick question, will a brake pedal from a K2 fit over F1 exhaust?

CB500/550 / Re: Rear brake pedal is "kicking back". Solutions?
« on: June 16, 2023, 09:34:46 PM »
mine was the same after I fitted new rear shoes. Just braked hard a few times from speed and ran about for a minute with the rear brake on a bit, the kicking back/juddering disappeared and has been fine since.
