THANKS FOR LOOKING

Reviewers were overwhelmingly positive in regards to the CB550 during the 1970s. And owners today are quite happy with these today. The CB550 4 garners a lot of respect.

Maintenance

Maintenance on the CB550 is nearly identical to the Honda CB750 and can be completed, mostly, with common hand tools. Some specialized tools, including feeler gauges, a timing light, chain breaker and riveter, amongst others. Common maintenance tasks include chain tensioning and cleaning/lubing, valve adjustment, rear brake adjustment, oil and filter changes, etc.

Overall, if common maintenance is performed regularly at the proper intervals with quality parts, the CB550 is very reliable and has been reported to be good for 100,000+ miles.

The "K" side cover decal and stripe were gold. The seat had a dual contour. The exhaust system was a 4-into-4. The engine was a 544cc SOHC wet sump inline four linked to a5-speed transmission. The serial number began CB550-2100001.

Below are the times for all the motorcycle competitors in this year’s event. As expected, Carlin Dunne aboard the Lightning electric superbike, took top honors among all motorcycle competitors, marking the first time an electric motorcycle has done so.
