Doms CB550F1 project
Oddjob:
Yeah 4 or 5mm. Not sure which I've got but suspect it's 5mm, I'll have a look.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Unless you are replacing the shaft I see little point in removing it unless you need to replate the quadrant.
Oddjob:
Oh I dunno Ted, some grease on those bushes can't hurt, plus it lets you really inspect some of the parts. I've seen lifter arms cracking where the pin goes through for example, yes you could most likely spot that without dismantling but checking the quadrant is also flat and not twisted is another.
I've considered drilling 2 small holes above the bushes so I can occasionally drop a little silicon oil down there, just 2 small plugs needed to seal them.
Plus of course the ability to change or replate the rod.

I think for now Ken (and Ted) I'm just going to replate the throttle cable linkages and replace the shaft another time but thanks for the offer.
Laverdaroo:
Dom, did you get anywhere with the footpeg scenario? I’ve just come back from the states and having a read. I think I have a spare one if you want to try it. I had the same issues with mine and had to doctor the ones that stayed on the bike. How’s you get on?
