Hi Everyone,
First post and hot off my first short but happy ride on my new Cb550.
I'm wondering if the brake pedal can be adjusted down the way, gear shifter obviously no problem, but the rear pedal seems to sit way above the level of the peg, which was putting a little bit of pain into my hip now the cafe bars are on it. ( a job I really didn't expect to be so traumatic with all the rerouting etc ) Anyway, is it as simple as removing it and re-indexing it down a few splines? The factory pictures seem to show it almost flat, or maybe a little under the peg level. On mine it's high, the attached picture will show that.
Also now I have removed the home made, yes HOME MADE! air filters. Which were the old airbox tubes with pot scouring pads glued to the ends, there is no more lean running, which means the jets seem to have been upped already, even on 4 oiled cones it seems very happy along side the 4:1 Jama, which was blissful news as realistically I can take it to be dynoed before the new season in the UK. Moving on again, I think I have read it should idle at about 1100 -> 1800 rpm, what is correct?
Sans single seat, indicator swap and a good service it's all good to go. Which will make a nice change in riding style from my BMW 650gs for the summer evenings and leisurely rides.
Looking forward to your responses and no doubt this won't be my first post!
Steven
