    CB550F - switches, controls

    I looked at those for my 500. What do you need help with? It should be pretty straight forward. Your starter button is just completing a ground and everything else should be included in the diagram for the switches. You should be able to find an acurate bike wiring diagram online. If you...

    1980 CM200T 6V to 12V conversion

    I read your post. Did you read mine? According to your post my field coil is lacking excitment therefore I am lacking spark. This is the black wire. That is the one I jumped directly from the battery and had success with getting spark. How would you test the unit to further verify that...

    1980 CM200T 6V to 12V conversion

    Believe me, I would be a happy man if all I had to do was get a new 6v battery. The regulator/rectifier unit is fried. The black wire should be getting power out, green is ground, and red is input power. Nothing comes out. I was told the PO replaced the battery with a 12v one and then tried...

    long time PA lurker

    Hi everyone, I have been hiding behind the scenes for a few years using DTT as a resource and not becoming an active member. I finally figured it's time to join and say hello. I have a 71 CB500 that is mid cafe build, an 05 DRZ400SM, and an 06 KX450F. If anyone is in the Philadelphia/ Bucks...

    CB500 Caliper piston

    I had no choice but to use channel locks to rotate it. That thing was hopelessly seized. I know it's only the top 1/4" but I get paranoid with brakes.

    CB500 Caliper piston

    Im rebuilding the caliper on my 71 CB500 and would like to know at what point to give up on saving the piston. I was able to finally get it out with compressed air but there are some small nicks on top edge of it. I could probably sand down any imperfections but am worried it will leak or...
