Hi Bill,
Its many years since I raced a CB500f, but I don't recall having too many problems with shifting gears.
Can you tell me a bit more about it?
What was in the kit?

Hi lads
I have a 500/4 that's tuned up some what...there is a small log on the build threads "hadleigh custom cafe racer"
It seems to have a action fours 590 kit and a drag racing cam fitted and after a long hard ride it does suffer from selecting neutral at a stop .....otherwise it's fine if just pottering about???
Is there s reason you know off ....I know action fours had an updated clutch kit too?
