THANKS FOR LOOKING. 1978 Honda CB550K Four Review "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. 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.
