CB500/550 / Electrical problem?
« on: November 02, 2023, 09:50:07 PM »
The two red wires going to the fuse box on my 1975 cb550 F1 usa are getting warm while the ignition is turned on. Is this normal? If not has anyone any ideas as to what may be cause?
Thanks Ian

CB500/550 / CB550 F3 engine rebuid
« on: March 06, 2023, 10:00:02 PM »
Hi, just looking for a bitt of reassurance that everything is ok. I've reassembled the engine casings after replacing the primary chain and going through the gears by hand I'm noticing some backlash between the clutch shaft and the final drive shaft. Is this normal?
Thanks Ian

Misc / Open / The rider agent
« on: November 14, 2022, 11:02:44 PM »
Here's an old picture of my now long-gone village motorcycle dealer showroom. Can anyone satisfy my curiosity and tell me what " The rider agent" refers to? I have a slightly later picture of the showroom with the wording painted over.

Misc / Open / Honda grab rail?
« on: November 04, 2022, 09:48:39 PM »
I bought this grab rail sight unseen, described as "to fit Honda cb550f1". It fits on the mounting points on the bike but as you can see the upturn isn't tall enough and the indicator mounting holes are smaller.
Anyone know what its off? [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

CB500/550 / Cb550 k3 primary chain
« on: November 01, 2022, 08:26:51 PM »
hi, can anyone tell me if it is possible to determine if the primary chain has too much play in it by rotating the clutch basket clockwise and anticlockwise and measuring the free play ?

Hi, has anyone got a cylinder head complete with valves and a camshaft sprocket to sell me?
My 1977 k3 was running pretty good but had a weeping head gasket. Did a compression test and had three low cylinders which I tracked down to three leaking exhaust valves. On stripping the head I had six bent valves and a broken valve guide. The teeth on the camshaft pulley are worn to sharp points so it's anyone's guess what's happened in the past.
Thank Ian
