Hi spannerbrat!!
I had the exact same issue on my Cb550f
I decided to blank mine off and cleaned up the cockpit!!
I've had no trouble with balancing the carbs!
I did have a slight issue getting the jetting right what with the 4-1 and pods but got there in the end!
I did have trouble finding a blanking plug mind!

So I finally made it to my local bike night, having resolved all the issues (thanks to this forum)!!
I started in September my rebuild project turning it into a brat/cafe whatever you want to call it!
My old 'Rhonda the Honda' was there in all its glory!!
Thanks peeps!!

Yep!!!
Took her for a spin urban town only due to lack of time!!
13.2 on start up fluctuated up and down a bit depending on whether I was stuck at lights or letting her rip.. got up to 13.7 at one point and lowest was 13.1!
Therefore I consider her fixed!!
Bike night on Wednesday hear I come!! 🏍🏍

UPDATE!!!
So buttoned the old girl up last night and fired her this afternoon!
Battery off charger for couple of hours reading 12.9... started the engine and it went down to 12.4.
Applied revs up to about 4000-5000rpm and heavens behold the volts started climbing! Went up to 13.4 and steadily climbing before I decided to shut her off as I didn't want to upset my neighbours!
So believe I have only gone and fixed her!!!!!!!
Who would have thought after all that wiring chasing, resistance checking, taking things off putting them back on, new rec/reg, diagram checking, fuse changing blah blah
Turns out the three bolts holding the inner coil to the stator cover were 4mm too long and one was grounding the coil to cover as it was ever so slightly touching the inside of the coil! Bloody previous owners eh!!
I am extremely proud of myself and hope for lots of praise from you lot if not just for my shear tenacity lol!!
No honestly thanks for everyone's comments and encouragement Mike,Niko, hairygit etc
Wouldn't have done it without ya!!
Looking forward to my Sunday ride tomorrow... bet it bloody rains!!! Lol

Hi all,
At the age of 21 I decided to join the police force in Devon!! Haven't looked back since and now at 37 I look back over the past 16 years and consider myself very fortunate! It is a demanding job but also very diverse! I have been luckiy enough to work in an exciting area of policing for the past 10 years and wouldn't change it for the world! Sometimes I even wonder how I'm getting paid to do some of the roles I do! Not quite James Bond but you get the idea!
Very daunting in this current era of policing what with terror around almost every corner!
I have a young family with a little girl and a boy on the way.. they love what I do but worry most days!
Before all that I did a engineering diploma, worked for Ford and did a stint in a tyre fitting firm!
It's good to hear everyone's background!!!

UPDATE...
Not had chance to bolt it all back together but I think, I think I may have just cracked it (not holding my breath mind lol)
Turns out the three bolts holding the inner coil to the stator cover are supposed to be 16mm, mine are 20mm! I think because they are too long they are causing the inner coil to ground to the casing and therefore making it not work as it should (please god let this be it!)
By placing a number of washers on each bolt thus (like my use of the word 'thus' lol) reducing them in size No more continuity, hence no more short!!!!!!!!
Any comments welcome!

Thought I was getting somewhere but was kinda relying on that one being the problem!! Feel like I'm back at square one😩😩😩
Do you know.. the inner coil in the stator has a green and white wire coming from it. I've removed it from the bike(still bolted to the stator cover and I'm getting continuity between green to casing and white to casing also continuity both each wire to the coil body itself!
Should this be the case or does this mean it's shorting?
The inner coil bolts directly to the stator cover, if I remove it from the cover I no longer get continuity from the green or the white to the coil body??

Niko.. I'm out in the garage and for some reason I can find my 100's, 105's 115's which is leading me to think I am actually running the 110's!!!😬
I'm so sorry I honestly thought the 115's were in the bike!
4into1 is the best I've found they shipped quickly and will be here in a week??
Sorry again bud

Update...
Just playing around checking Nikos idea of a second earth. I have checked the green wire from rec to the frame earth at the front of the bike and I have continuity to the frame earth! Also I have placed the red probe on batt pos and black to green wire on rec and I'm getting 12v on the meter! (As per Mike the bikes instructions)
Does this mean the rec is earthed correctly?
I was really hoping this was going to solve this saga?
