Why won't 1977 CB550 stay running after it gets hot but if you let it set overnight it will start up again battery even goes dead but is charged overnight any ideas?

Just a thought. When it is running, check the volts on the battery with a voltmeter. Should be around 14 volts. If it is around 12. something. Then stator is not working.

What do you think of a 1974 Honda CB550 with 12000 miles for a first bike it's in excellent condition and buyer is asking 2400 you are approx 6ft tall?
The price is a little high. It better be in perfect condition. I'm not sure I've seen one for quite that much. But I like the CB550 as a first bike. They're pretty light and nimble. Plenty fast on the highway. A good choice, I think.

How do you adjust cam chain on cb550?
I know you are looking for a cb550 but I have adjustment for a cb650 It might be the same. Chain should be tightened every 4000 miles (6400 km). 1. Place the bike on the centerstand. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the off position and shift the transmission into neutral. 3. Remove 4 spark plugs. This will make it easier to turn the engine over with a wrench. 4. Remove the ignition cover. 5. Loosen the camshaft chain tensioner lock nut. Note: The camshaft chain tensioner will automatically adjust itself when the locknut loosens and the engine rotated. 6. Place a fifteen sixteenth inch wrench on the outer hex spacer of the ignition unit. Slowly rotate the crankshaft clockwise when looking at the ignition unit while tightening the camshaft chain tensioner locknut. Rotate the crankshaft at least four to five times while tightening the locknut. 7. Reinstall the ignition cover and spark plugs.
Where is the turn signal flasher on a 1976 Honda CB550?
The turn signal flasher is under the left side cover, just below the round thingie (starter selenoid) and forward of the fuse box. It is a metal retangular object held in a rubber sleeve with a black and a grey wire plugged into it. Depending on where your bike was first sold there may also be a green wire plugged in to the flasher, or the green wire may be just dangling behind the flasher unused.
