No I didn't take photos as I thought the wiring diagram would be enough. I'm starting to think that the solenoid isn't original and that it doesn't need to be powered from the black cable. I think it might get its power from the battery terminal internally. The red and green wire on the diagram feeds the clutch lever switch so it might have something to do with that.

It's the original solenoid but I'm wiring a new loom myself. It's the black common wire that powers the horn, switches, oil and neutral lights. I've tried attach a photo of the wiring diagram for a cb550 but can't seem to do it.

Hi. I'm rewiring my bike but I'm struggling to find where to connect the black common wire on to the starter solenoid. The solenoid has a terminal for the battery, a terminal for the starter motor, a red and yellow cable for the starter button and a red and green wire. The wiring diagram doesn't show the red and green wire coming off the solenoid just the black common and the red and yellow wire so I'm struggling to see where to connect the black wire on the harness to in order to power it up. Help!!!

All done and working thanks. Not an easy job doing it from underneath the bike on the side stand. I had to use a piece of fishing line to hold all the parts on as they just wanted to slide off the shaft! I then fitted the circlip and pulled the line out once done. Thanks again

Very helpful. I'll have to have another look tomorrow as I didn't see that slot. Thanks

Hi. The circlip on my kick-start spindle has come off and all the parts ended up in the oil pan. Can anyone tell me does the ratchet guide rest on the gearshift spindle to disengage the ratchet itself when under tension? I can't see any other place for it to sit! [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Yes. Up to the markings and stone cold.

Thanks. I did check the oil and its up to the top on the dip stick(when unscrewed) and would could even go slightly over. It depends on how level I think the bike is when checking it. How do you get it perfectly level in the first place?

Assuming that is correct and I can't go back to the garage that did it as it was 3 years ago now and seeing as I only use it for coffee and chip shop runs should I just live with it?

The rebuild was carried out by a classic Honda specialist and had a rebore with larger pistons so I assume they are OK. The oil isn't pouring out. Just enough to wet the end of my finger

Thanks guys. I'll check the oil level in the morning.

Hi all. I've 1500 miles since having an engine rebuild and have a small amount of oil coming out of the crankcase breather. I think this only happens after I've ridden it at higger speeds than normal. Is this something to worry about?
