CB500/550 / Steering lock differences« on: October 22, 2022, 03:31:04 PM »
Just been comparing my usa cb550f on a 75 plate to my new uk 550f2 on a 78 plate that I got from mickf ( many thanks mick) & I have noticed that on the USA model the steering lock is operated by the ignition but the UK one has the old style one one the headstock . I was trying to search for a new lock for it but on the cmsl parts ficsh it does not show the frame as having it. Any thoughts on what would fit .regards Dave

Hi all , trying to get my bike to run properly!! , however the idle is hanging slightly and I constantly have to adjust the idle screw when I restart the bike .also my air box has fuel in it . I have checked the plugs and they are very black but not oily just sooty , also the main jets in there are 100 ,should they be 98 and would these cause too much fuel , its got a kerker exhaust on it so not sure why the previous owner has put 100s in . Any help appreciated.

CB500/550 / Lost Registration« on: August 02, 2022, 01:35:50 PM »
Hi all ,I purchased my 550F in may on the bay from a reputable dealer & I arranged delivery. Being busy at the time they said they could arrange registration and i paid my money . I am now being told that the DVLA have lost , misplaced the forms and are looking into it . I have spoken to the dvla but they will give me no Info as I'm not registering it although the nova people says duty has been paid . I have rung the dealer several times but just get told its being looked into & have no reason to not believe them but communica is not great at keeping me informed ,I have spent a small fortune on parts etc but am at this moment in time I am left with a no reg no nova certificate bike. Annoyed !!!!!!

Hi All , after alot of swearing and threatening to scrap the bike the engine has finally let me get out all the screws holding the clutch cover on , however it does not want to let go of the cover so easily, anybody got any tips to get it off as I think this maybe the first time it has been apart .
