Hi guys,
after a brief run in with bike thieves (twice now ) I decided with winter coming aswell it was probably best to get a commuter bike rather than keep using the 600RR.
I managed to get an absolute steal with a CB500 for £450. Its got no rust looks really good for its age. It's got 32k miles and had been sat in a garage for the past 5 years. I've bought a load of bits to do a complete service: plugs, oil, filters etc.
Its got a few issues which I'm hoping someone may be able to shed some light on. I feel like they are all carb related. The first one is that it seems to not hold its idle off the choke, but will idle on choke with no problem around 2k RPM. The second issue is it seems to have a misfire but only when riding it around (I noticed after a longer ride on manifold pipe was much hotter than the other one but if its idling both stay the same temperature.) I am hoping the spark plug swap may fix that.
Anyone come across these issues? |
