Misc / Open / Southport Air Show.
« on: September 22, 2007, 08:05:28 AM »
This weekend is the Southport Air Show and the weather for today looks excellent (unlike tomorrow!).

I'm going to go on my bike so there'll be no worries parking.

Anyone else going?

Air leak or mixture screw sounds good especially if the bike's been stood with fuel in the carbs for a while.

I've had all  the air screws out and given them a good clean and made sure they're all seating properly and am now running at 2 3/4 turns out which is + 1 turn on what Mr Haynes says.

It's running really well now with a very slight hesitation when opening up at around 4k revs in a high gear. However I'm happy and can live with that.

Just need to tweak the balance now.

I've done nearly 500 miles now and overall I'm very happy with the way it runs!

I'm still looking but I might know where there is one on a 550K3.

It would appear that the K3 wheel will fit mine so I'll give him a call when I get back.

Just heard that Southport was heaving with bikes last night so it seems business as usual at the moment.

CB500/550 / CB550F Rear Wheel
« on: September 05, 2007, 09:36:49 PM »
Hi again.

Does anybody know if the rear wheel on a CB550K3 is the same as the one on a CB550F2?

I've checked some parts lists for the K1 and the rim and hub part numbers are the same so I was wondering if the K3 was the same as well as I may have located a wheel.

Thanks,

Dave

That's right Steve.

A good quality copper cored lead with an NKG 5k resistor plug cap will do the job admirably!

All may not be dead at Southport.

Apparently the cafe owner has coned an area off for the bikes and put up some pretty posters to look at.

Not sure how the ccess is yet, I'll have a look after my hols.

They also act as a suppressor to reduce interference on radios etc.

Use a lower gear. Sounds nice too!

Sounds like a good plan.
