    Can I run a o-ring chain on a Honda CB500 4 ?

    I picked up a stock set of sprockets and a new 530UO KMC O-ring chain for my 73 HONDA CB5004 and was told recently that the chain might not have enough clearance on the front sprocket.

    weird noise

    I don't know if this will fix your problem, but put your bike up on its center stand and make sure that the notches for your rear wheel on the frame are aligned on both sides and everything is tight and even with the chain adjusters back there. I would also check the teeth on your sprocket to...

    2-wire tail light on 3-wire CB350?

    That's good to know and a easy fix, but I think I might attempt the wiring the ground to one of the mounting bolts with a ring connection like stated earlier by Terry. It sounds like the easiest way to go and I wont have to bust out the drill. I really love the lucas style taillight. You should...

    2-wire tail light on 3-wire CB350?

    I had this problem while trying to apply the same Lucas style tail light on my CB500, & after it kept blowing fuses, I just gave up & just put the old tail light back on. So what you guys are saying here is that all we have to do is connect another wire to what would be the ground wire from the...

    Will a later model cb550 wiring harness & panel work on a cb500 ?

    I have a cb500 basket case that I want to get up and running and I've noticed that my wiring harness has some melted wires and so does the panel. I picked up a new panel for it a while back, but unfortunately it had the round connectors, and I need the straight connectors. I noticed a nice...

    New Voltage Regulator and Recitifier worth it on a the CB500 ?

    I was wondering if buying a new Regulator and Rectifier would make a difference on my CB500. As far as I can tell my old ones work fine but noticed that there are better performing ones available with lifetime warranty (Oregon Motorcycle Parts). Any info would be appreciated on this.

    Adjusting Valves on a CB500F the right way ?

    Re-adjusted the valves today and It sounds so much better this time.The ping is gone and she sounds smooth ! I think I was a tad more patient this go around. The go no go tech works well and I wish I would have known about it the first go around. I guess it would be to hard for them to add that...

    Adjusting Valves on a CB500F the right way ?

    PJ thats the way I did it before, but I didn't use the go no go technique, which totally makes since. I read about it last night. I will attempt to do it again today & knowing I did it right the first time is good news. Brad I will still need a couple rocker valve caps. I'm thinking 2 but its...

    Adjusting Valves on a CB500F the right way ?

    When adjusting valves on a cb500F should it only take 1 360 rotation at TDC (T 1-4 mark) to do them all or are you supposed to also line up TDC (T 2-3 mark) and adjust those to ? I did them before and have read from two different manuals that both give different info on getting the job done...

    I'm looking for a New or used unbroken Clutch Lifter Rod for a Honda Cb500 1971-73. I just discovered while changing my clutch cable (that was about to break) that my current lifter rod is broke.
