CB500/550 / Whine from Speedo or Rev counter
« on: November 23, 2021, 11:24:11 AM »
Hi All

So I have this noise which I think is coming from the speedo or rev counter.

I recorded it, this is decelerating from 50 to 5mph and riding slowly.

I guess the cable needs lubrication, any tips?

Interesting, do you have a breather pipe connected?

Many thanks!

The manual is in alladins cave and can be downloaded

I’ve got no idea what you are on about! Also I don’t have the workshop manual, so page 170 is meaningless to me. I’ll just carry on and hope for the best!  ;D

So it’s basically pointless on my bike?

Here are some photos, I know it is painted the wrong colour, it was like it when I bought it!

Nope

Will it be to hold the center stand?

The original exhausts are long gone, it’s got a four into one Delkevic.

By the way where are the exhausts from that side? if it's a K2 which your signature says you have it should have 4 into 4 exhausts.

The side stand does have the rubber on it, but it obviously doesn’t reach to the that mystery clip.

A side stand switch as per USA so do not ride off with the stand down it has that rubber  thing on the side stand.

Unfortunately no idea which state it came from.

I wonder if the bracket was for a contraption I had once: a switch pulled by the jiffy to prevent starting. For safety. Mine worked OK, but lived short. Where is your bike from? I mean, what 'area code'?

Thanks all. Used the ratchet strap method, my Dad had a hefty bit of metal we could bolt to on the bike lift to get the right angle. then we levered it over and cut the string and it popped on.

CB500/550 / Centre stand refitting
« on: November 21, 2021, 05:59:35 PM »
I managed to remove my centre stand, shot blasted and paint it, looks great.

However refitting it proving tricky, I have read various posts on US forum, but can't find a definitive answer on how to refit it.

I struggled today, am going to try this method tomorrow, unless anyone has any other ideas.

I am a new owner of a 1976 CB550 and I can't work out what this is for, as circled, any ideas?
