Misc / Open / Vesrah Gaskets
« on: July 09, 2014, 09:39:36 AM »
Something is going on with the Japanese! I have always used Vesrah gaskets for engine re-builds and find them to be the best. My stock was getting low so i contacted a number of suppliers to stock up again. All my contacts came back with out of stock.
Sent a mail to Vesrah in Japan asking for the whereabouts of vesrah gaskets in the UK and Europe. The reply was that they knew of no one stocking gaskets for old CB's but, i could order from them at a cost of $110 with shipping (but, a lot of what i wanted was out of stock with them). I explained that the cost was over the top and i would get my pant's pulled down by customs and VAT.
The conversation went on and i found out that they are not making gaskets for 1970's bikes anymore. To me this is against the Japanese way of business. Have the Jap's got too big for there boots?

CB500/550 / CB500 Four KO
« on: May 17, 2014, 09:14:33 PM »
I am wondering if anyone out in SOHC land has a non-USA CB500 KO ? All the book evidence points towards that the KO was never a English spec model but, i have one. Oddjob has clearly pointed out that 3, KO's were sent to the UK for publicity/ press rides. I am investigating if the KO i have is one of these. I would love to hear from anyone that has a non-USA model.

CB500/550 / Alternator problem (maybe)
« on: May 17, 2014, 05:31:03 PM »
I have the 500K not charging. Now on a three phase system you check between the yellow wires for a reading. Everything seems fine. So i checked between the white and green, ok. But i have a signal between all wires and ground. I know on modern bikes this is a problem but, is it a problem on these old girls???

CB500/550 / Spitting carb
« on: May 14, 2014, 09:48:10 PM »
A little problem that i have never come across before. Finished re-building a set of 550 carbs. The bike starts great, runs perfect but, when you turn it off, number 4 carb will spit out a teaspoon of fuel out of the overflow pipe after 2 minutes. Doesn't matter if the fuel tap is on or off and does not do it every time you switch the ignition off. Any clues ???

CB500/550 / CB500KO Colour ?
« on: May 11, 2014, 01:01:07 PM »
I am trying to find out what CB500 had the colour Black/black on the tank. The colour list i have states for the KO is; Candy jet green + black, Garnet brown + black and Star light gold + black. I have looked up the colours for the K1 and K2 but, can't find a mention of Black + black.
Anyone know what 500K had Black + black.

Misc / Open / Has the arse fallen out of the Jap Classic Market?
« on: May 09, 2014, 09:02:07 PM »
I don't understand why this has had no bids on it. Phoned up on it today as a Trade buyer and he said he hasn't had much interest on this. WHY?

On his other listing he has some very nice cars that took me back to my youth.

CB500/550 / PA button
« on: April 30, 2014, 07:43:46 PM »
This may seem a strange question. I have 2 CB550F's and both have a PA switch combined with the horn button but, no wires in the loom/harness to connect. So my question is does the CB550F have a PA button as standard?

CB500/550 / Pivot Brake Arm
« on: April 27, 2014, 12:53:41 PM »
I can always get the pin out of the caliper arm but, this one is stuck and will not budge. So far it has been soaked in WD40 for 24 hours. Had a large amount of heat fired at it and is still stuck. I don't really want to put it in the press because i think it will crack the top mount. Has anyone have any ideas?
Have been looking at past posts but, cant find anything.
