The MC stills holds a rear view mirror. All I'm asking is for postage costs to be covered. Alan

CB500/550 / CB500 - some parts up for grabs...
« on: January 31, 2016, 05:46:07 PM »
Taken some parts off my bike that I no longer need. Nothing fantastic but one persons rubbish is another persons treasure!

1. Front Brake Master Cylinder. Came with the bike, works but may benefit from some work. Cap is scratched on one side. Funny shaped lever included  ;)

2. Fuel Tank Mole. Complete set. Not mega shinny but still some life to it. The longer straight pieces have some cracks in each piece.

3. Rear suspension. Again, came with the bike. I couldn't tell you if they work as they should because I didn't road test them.

4. Kerker 4into1 Exhaust. This isn't in the best condition, but as i said 'one persons rubbish...'. The down pipes are solid but have surface rust. The end can is slightly dented in places. Small holes in the end plates of the end can. Doesn't sound loud or impressive.

Free to a good home. I'll only ask for postage costs and perhaps a donation to the site.

Feel free to ask questions, or slate the exhaust system  ;), and I'll try to help out.

Well, I opened up to headlamp and played around a bit. First only the rear worked, then the front worked, and then finally nothing worked on the left hand side!

Daft question, but where does the system ground on the bike?

CB500/550 / L/H Indicator problems

Hi everyone,

As the title says, I have an indicator problem. Right hand side works beautifully, left hand side only the rear works and even then just stays on - does not flash. I know the bulb is good at the front, could it be relay?

Any help gratefully received.

Alan  :)

Thanks guys. I'll be back in 500 miles and asking for your advice if it's still smoking!  ;)

Oh, my question about the breather pipe was is that normal having never owned this type of bike before?

Hi everyone,

Having sorted out the sticking clutch problem, after a road test I noticed that the Left exhaust is smokier than the right. This has probably been covered before, but does anyone have any suggestions as to why that is? Piston rings or fuel?

Also I noticed that a white vapour/steam is coming from the breather pipe. You can see this on the picture circled in red. I know the pipe shouldn't end there but the PO routed it along the bike to the rear fender. I'll be moving that at some point! 

Many thanks, Alan

Thanks James.

It does lurch forward a little bit, but only barely. I didn't have much time to play around with it - the wife came home!

CB500/550 / CB 500 clutch problems
« on: January 23, 2016, 06:00:25 PM »
Hi all,

I've put my bike back together and I went to road test it today. The bike starts fine and idles OK, but when I pull the clutch lever in and knock it down into first gear the bike stalls - as if the kick stand was down and the engine cuts out. The bike will start up again first time but will die when put into first gear.

I've read elsewhere on this site about clutch plates becoming stuck if not used for a period of time. The bike came from DK and I've no idea how long it may have been off the road.

Is it likely to be a sticking clutch problem? Has anyone any tips on how to deal with this? Any other ideas as to the cause?

Many thanks, Alan
