CB500/550 / 500/4 cylinder head gasket

« on: March 22, 2011, 04:36:35 PM »

Hi.My cylinder head gasket is weeping oil. I read somewhere that they all do this and even after fitting a new one it can start weeping again after a short time. is this true? If I do replace the gasket can I remove the head with the engine in the frame? The Hayes manual says engine has to come out and a US shop manual I have says head can be taken off with engine in frame!!! Any info would be welcome. Cheers Phil.

Hi everyone. Probably an old question but when putting carbs back on do I fit them to inlet manifold rubbers 1st and then put air box rubbers on to carbs and air box. Any help and advice would be welcome. Cheers

CB500/550 / tacho renovation

« on: April 29, 2009, 06:22:53 PM »

Hi
I'm looking for someone reliable in the UK to repair/renovate my tacho. Just replaced the cable with a new inner & outer but the pointer still becomes erratic/inaccurate above approx 5000 rpm. Has anyone used somebody they could recommend or any other suggestions.
Cheers Phil.
