I have a TECuni5 and checked again that dot/mark on the cam is facing the TEC stamp on the plate.

I'll give it a go with 0.2mm shim as well.

The points should be closed on approach to F mark and should open exactly on the mark. Move the backplate until it is perfect, then adjust the 3/4 side by moving its own adjusting plate without moving main backing plate.

Cheers,.that makes more sense! I had it backwards.

But I have given it a good many tries and I just can't nail it. Set at 0.3mm and 0.4mm and just can't get the adjustment required. Not sure it's the spark advancer or I'm just fundamentally missing something. Videos show this process to be fairly easy.

Hi all,

Really struggling with points adjustments.

I've followed few videos but I can't seem to get the points to close at the F marks. 

I'm using a multimeter to check continuity, and for example the 1/4 point is closed until just after these two marks.

When reaching the F mark point is now open when it should be closing?

I set the airgap using a 0.3mm shim by going to 1/4F mark and rotating 90deg unitl I see this tang.

Could the advancer mech be the wrong way around? It is something I checked on here previously to make sure I had it right way around.

I couldn’t find one for mine due to the same issues you’re having Dave so bought a kit and made my own. At least then it’s spot on…..

Can any one recommend a decent and shorter clutch cable.

Purchased a cheapo one from eBay but it's way too long with the current handlebars, assuming I've got the correct routing.

Alright, at a total head scratch as no idea where this part belongs.

It's not the rear drum brake pivot as that's already on?

The CBR 250 with the gull arm on it red line's at 19,000.........that's just into the red too. Absolute riot to ride 8)

That is a lovely bike - couldn't afford it though which is why I ended up with the fizzer which had an almost equally absurd 18ki-ish rpm redline.

Thanks - I didn't expect the cover to be cheaper but good shout.

Some of those covers look better than what I have.

The one on e bay for £35 ish had sold - did you buy it?

No I didn't - not sure I saw that one.

There are a couple but in the US & Canada but all over £50 inc postage.

Would it be the end of the world if I removed it? Mine is definitely damaged and bent.

Looking for a replacement to the protector inside the LH cover 11353-363-000.

Mine is in sub-optimal condition.

Some available online but expensive so wondering if anyone has a used one I can buy.

The zx6r g1 was my first >250cc non-learner bike. I loved it.
Had it in black/gold/purple though. It's on my list of bikes that I would like to have again, along with the Yamaha fzr250 3ln. Now that's a bike that screams!

A question on originality.

I really like the k0 paint scheme in orange (and I'm long time Philadelphia Flyers fan) and prefer it to the k1 scheme.
Would it be a big no-no if a k1 was re-painted with the k0 scheme?

http://www.sohc4.com/bikes/cb550/

Or should the bike be painted in the original factory colour. I want to get to as close to original look, but will make concessions on like for like replica aftermarket parts, otherwise it will cost a fortune. And I don't intend on selling it anytime soon.
