Cb500 K0 Heavy throttle return spring

<< < (2/3) > >>

Chris400F:
For the 400 there are diagrams in the Dealer Setup Manual, not sure whether there is something similar for the 500/550 around.

Chris400F:
Ash's Dropbox was the obvious place to look.
No apparent Dealer Setup Manual but the CB500 / 550 F Shop Manual has some diagrams which should help, see pg 146 onwards.

MeilakJ:
I have an original dealer set up manual which shows the exact locations of the cables, but this is of the cb550 K0 . if it helps I can scan and upload in the next days

florence:
I do think it is worth saying that even with the correct set up the return spring is quite heavy compared to other bikes I've ridden but I think that is a good thing, it is very positive in it's action.  There is an adjusting screw which puts a little pressure on the throttle.

Johnwebley:
a stiff throttle on a 500 can be caused by trapping a cable in the L/H tank mount,

when refitting the tank,always make sure the cables are free,and move ok when you  check the steering at lock to lock,

but I agree,the return spring is strong,so much so,I fitted a jubilee clip on the twistgrip to help hold it open
