CB500/550 / Throttle return spring....to strong
« on: July 08, 2017, 02:43:26 PM »
Hi

Anyone fitted a lighter return spring. After ten minutes my wrist aches...(lol).
I'm sure the one that's on there could close my garage door.

Any lighter ones that you guys might recommend please

CB500/550 / Sealed beam unit
« on: June 05, 2017, 11:40:41 PM »
Hi

My rectifier regulator went naff.....it fried my battery.
I'm just waiting for a replacement.

Messing with it I've just noticed that it's also blown my headlight....which is a right kick in the nuts.

Can they be repaired...?
Or where do you get a replacement from...?

Cheers

« on: May 18, 2017, 08:01:33 PM »
Hi...mine is a 20mm thread job. With two outlets
Inside is a little nylon cone....

How do I stop it leaking....or how do I replace.

It's driving me nuts and wrecking my floor.

CB500/550 / Fuel tap...double pipe outlet
« on: May 03, 2017, 01:24:43 PM »
Hi

My tap won't shut off completely.....which is a pain

I've tried to seat the little plastic yellow cone shaped valve better ....and cleaned it up but it still drips.

Is it an issue to change it to a single outlet...and connect the second pipe into the line....

Or....is it possible to source a new double jobby.

Cheers

CB500/550 / Clutch drag?
« on: April 16, 2017, 06:18:52 PM »
Hi

Now that my bikes running I have another puzzle.

No chain fitted yet.
Pull in the clutch and try the kickstart.....no resistance...clutch engaged.
Start the bike in neutral.....front sprocket stationary.

Drop it into first ....sprocket turns...i.e. Drive.

Pull in the clutch.....and the sprocket still turns with some force.

Is that normal, will the drag of the chain counteract it.?

Cheers

CB500/550 / White field coil wire to stator
« on: April 02, 2017, 06:42:13 PM »
Hi,...I fitted a combined reg and rec.
The only way I can get it to work is to add a separate switched live to the whites.

I originally fed power to the reg using a black cable only....but no joy.

I assumed the unit would output 12 v to the white wire ?

Can anyone shed any light please.

CB500/550 / Oil leak at base of stator cover
« on: March 29, 2017, 11:07:54 PM »
Hi....had the bike running tonight. When it's running it drips oil from the stator cover.
Wiped it off and it all seams dry inside.

I read somewhere about an oil seal / oil gallery in that area....?

Can someone help me out with where it's located please?
Cheers
