Thanks everyone for the replies.
I think is more likely that I cannot find back the right route of the circuits. I thought the harness was original but I now see that some cables are different in colour. I am going to check the things suggested and come back to you. I just would like to avoid bringing the bike to a garage!

Hello!
I recently installed a digital speedo on my cb 550 and after while the tail light stopped working (not the brake). I tried to fix it and as a result now the starter and the dashboard are not working either!
I have been trying to resolve it myself and I found it it above my knowledge and skills.
Does anyone know someone who can come to my place in south east London to have a look at the wiring of my CB550?
Thanks in advance

Hi guys,
Last year I bough my first CB550. I though it would have been a dream but sadly I have had a lot of mechanical and electrical problems. I went to two different garages that basically robbed me taking advantage that I am not an expert and at the end of the day I have spent a lot of money for nothing. I still have a bike that I like but it’s not reliable as it broke down too many times leaving me in the middle of the road.
Do you know a great garage or mechanic in London that can have a thorough look at my bike?
Thanks in advance!
Ale

Thank you very much for the replies guys!
@mattewmosse i’ll what you suggested and i’ll Keep you posted.
Is the fuel coming out from the air plenum hose that concerns me as well!
Thanks for the tip
@eight0 you can PM your mobile number if you don’t mind and in case I’ll struggle I would be happy to give you a ring. Your help would be much appreciated, I am a complete newbie!
I think the regulator rectifier is a modern replacement in a single unit, not the original one...

Hi guys,
Does anyone know a good mechanic that can solve this issues on my cb550?
South London, zone 2/3 possibly. I live in Tulse Hill.
- battery goes flat all of a sudden after starter stops working. Regulator rectifier is faulty but I am not sure that this is the only reason
-overflow hose leaking gas from one carb bowl
-hose from airbox plenum leaking gas heavily
I am not an expert at all, there could be more problems behind..
Thanks for any tips!

Thanks for the suggestion guys. I was looking to something that has an alarm built-in. Is there any good padlock that includes that? No disc lock fits on the CB550 rotor. That’s a shame !

Thanks Rob. Yes, I could. I just wanted something portable. But I guess the the xx15 is the model of disk brake that has the deeper throat on the market...

Hi guys. I’ve just bought a XENA xx15 for my cb550. I was quite confident it could fit having the throat 60mm deep (my disc is 55mm). Sadly the steel connections between the rotor and the wheel have tight holes and stops the XENA too early and I cannot close it. Any suggestion on how to solve the problem? Thanks in advance!

Thanks to you all guys. I would try the C225 paint stripper. A liter in the tank and shake it? How do I remove it then? Water? I am really worried about the quick rust that could be formed..

Thanks Bill. Much appreciated. For 14L tank can you advise on the quantity of POR C225?

Thnks Trigger. I’ve been given a wrong advice. So you suggest to take it out with acetone? Can I fill the tank with fuel after I’ve drained the acetone and Kreem out? I am worried about the rust as well.

Hi guys!
I did a complete disaster with the Kreem liner. It’s my first motorbikes abd I am a newbie... please be patient with me!
There are loads of conversation about it on internet but I want to ask you an advice on this specific case. I basically didn’t drain the excess completely out as the petcok filter remained inside.
My tank on one side now look like in the picture.
I would like to ask you if once completely dried there’s no risk for my tank or I think would be better to remove the liner completely with acetone?
Thanks in advance

Hi guys! Nice to meet you all.
My name is Alessandro and I live and work in London.
I have just bought a 77 CB550 and as I am a complete newbie I already did some disaster trying to customise it! I’m looking forward to be part of this community!
