My CB550′s breaker points need to be adjusted before summer riding. I started this morning but didn’t get to finish due to lunch and a light drizzle outside. What I did discover was a small typo in the Clymer Repair Manual. The point gap is indicated as .016 inches which translates to .4mm, but evidently this basic math has eluded Clymer’s copy editors. Hopefully their 21st edition will reflect an accurate metric conversion. I tried to find a contact email address for the publishers to let them know, but my google-fu skills must be lacking this morning. I can’t seem to find one.

More on this tomorrow.
