CB500/550 / 3 & 4 smoky

« on: December 02, 2022, 04:18:56 PM »

Hi guys,

My CB500 isn’t on the road yet, so I’ve been starting her up about once a week. Just recently checked & adjusted valve clearances, points & timing etc. As per manual. Last week I let her run for about 5 mins then noticed exhausts 3 & 4 were clear to start with then started to smoke a bit, didn’t seem to be oily smoke, more white in colour so thought it”s probably condensation. Done exactly the same this week. 1 & 2 have nothing but 3 & 4 started to smoke a bit again after a few minutes running. Is this anything to worry about guys, maybe just needs a good run when I get on the road. Any suggestions. Cheers.

Hello,

I’ve recently registered and the site looks great.

At the age of 63 I’ve decided to get into biking. I did ride a Honda CG125 on L plates for a year or so, but that was 40 years ago!
I wish I’d done it sooner, but what with bringing up a family and work commitments it hasn’t been possible, not to mention a lack of cash! Anyway I passed my theory in August and have my CBT this Saturday so there no stopping me now (the wife’s not keen at all though $:-\$ )
I’ve been like an excited puppy looking at classic Hondas for a few months and I hope to look at one of the members’ CB500 four in a couple of weeks that he has for sale on here.
I’ve been agonising over classic v modern as I want something of interest that I can pamper and polish, but ride to the coast if I want, with a better than even chance of getting home again

Nice to join the group and I hope I can contribute and learn from you guys

Bye for now
Malc.
