Problem fixed! It seems that the clutch cable must have been original. After 34 years it was all gummed up and not releasing. I replaced it with a new one and I have a whole new bike now. I'm pleasently surprised how quick this thing is!
Does anyone have a diagram for this bike? I bought a Clymer manual but it only mentions the 550f and my wiring seems a little different. Is there a specific manual for the 550K?
When I give my bike a full or even 3/4 throttle it's like it slips or winds out high rev and I have to back off for it to kick in. I'm a cafe noob but have reasonable mech skills. Any idea on what the problem could be?
Does anyone know of a good place for an engine rebuild of my '78 CB550k in Northwest Ohio? I'm curious how much it would cost to see if it's just better to have it done than me trying it myself.
