Howya, introducing myself now, better late than never as I've been using the immense bank of information and tips that this forum is as I worked on my CB550 for the past 2 years.
Bought this 1977 CB550 more than 2 years ago now, was kind in a kind of sorry state really, so took everything down to the bare frame, and very slowly re-built it. Many beers, swear words, and 2 kids later, I am almost there...
when I got it:
At the moment:
Not quite on the road yet as I've some issues with the clutch it seems. Bike is revving fine in neutral, but when I have first or 2nd engaged, revs go out the window, throttle fully open I get very little response. Could it be something simple as clutch cable or would it be something a but more serious like clutch drag?
Anyway, looking forward to talking to a few members and getting some advice as I try to finish this thing.
