Cb550 in MN
« on: August 19, 2012, 09:21:04 PM »
Hey - New guy here, picked up a 76 cb550 with siezed motor as a project.  Really excited about digging in and getting to know the bike.  I'm decent with cars, this will be my first cycle project.  Been reading a few threads on siezed motors, I'll be checking the clutch first, then removing the oil pan to see if the chain is wound-up then going the fluid/rock in gear method to try to free it up. 
Goals will be to free it up, get it running, make it road safe.  I'll do mods after I get used to riding it and work out the bugs.  ::) 

Previous bikes:95 zx7, 00 rc51, 02 warrior, 08 wr250x (still have this one).
