Are your fuses okay? I had a problem on my 550 where everything died, turned out the fuse looked intact but had just degraded with age and was open circuit.

In Bucks we don’t get the luxury of the whacker plate. They turn up with a machine that spray fills the holes and then one whack with the back of a shovel.

Is the Simoniz paint resistant to petrol?

Got to do my swingarm bearings on the 650 soon so want to spruce up the look of the swingarm.
Anyone got any recommendations for a rattle can that’s pretty close to the original black? 95

I was toying with the idea of using white vinegar, some good results on YouTube.

Thanks for the info, I’ll try the brick cleaner and diesel first.

My tank doesn’t have any leaks, it’s just very rusty inside.
Also it’s not for my Hondas, it’s my RD350LC (sorry I know this is a Honda site). The tanks are so rare so I really have to try something or get one of the Indian copies that aren’t a very good fit apparently. 98

I’ve only ever heard bad things about lining a rusty tank but I have one that is pretty bad inside.
Someone has already had a go at my tank, it’s gone like crisps inside. I’ve got every last bit of it out but it needs something to protect it. 99

I’m about to put in a CB650 cam in my 550, supposed to be a nice performance upgrade.

Rebuild the top end on my 1980 650 just before Christmas and it’s running perfectly with no leaks.
Should I re-torque the cylinder head bolts after a few miles or is there no need? 105

Should not leak no matter how long it’s left.
