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.

Alpha Red or Black. The gas tank stripe was red with a gold
pinstripe. The"550 FOUR" side cover emblem was gold. 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

Motorcycle Results From The 2013 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb
Mon, 01 Jul 2013The 91st running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is in the books, and while much of the media attention focused on Sebastien Loeb demolishing the outright course record, setting the first eight-minute lap with a 8:13.878 — over 90 seconds faster than the previous lap record —in his Peugeot 208 T16, history was made in the motorcycle divisions as well. 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.
