We all know why adjustable camshaft sprockets are used in the high performance world. But, stock motor configuration motors can benefit from these also. Have you ever tried to line up the camshaft marks after any sort of motor work or checking a few things? The marks usually never line up perfectly because of many reasons. One of the main reasons on a stock motor with any miles is cam chain stretch. The cam chain is like a rear chain. It stretches. So, install these modified poor man's adjustable OEM cam chain sprockets and realign your cam timing or install your performance cam.

Cryo Treated Honda CB500/CB550 Heavy Duty Cam Chain

This is another weak link to the Honda 500/550 SOHC motors. These chains are clearly stronger than stock. (continuous)

TECH TIP: Soak cam chains in oil before installation, they will last longer.

“I used to have to adjust my Yamaha motorcycle chain after the first run because it would stretch. After cryo-treatment, the chains don't stretch at all, and the treatment also keeps cam chains from breaking. I haven't broken a chain since I started cryo-treating all of my parts.”

Cycle X 500/550 Adapters

Here is what we have been working on!
First...the problems...

Father time is catching up with many stock components and it makes life difficult for vintage mechanics and enthusiasts.
Honda CB500 and CB550's carburetors have their own challenges to overcome at times.

Brief examples:
No room for individual air pods. Jetting stock carbs for pods or stacks can be time consuming. CR special carburetors still have a pod clearance problem.

Our Cycle X intake system features a straight, direct shot for the intake charge and will be available with 2 carburetor versions.
#1 version will have our intake manifold with 26mm CR special carburetors (bigger carbs available for you racing folks).
#2 version will have the high-performance carbs shown in the photos.

Cycle X direct shot intake adaptor.
(4) carburetor mounting rubbers and hardware.

Cycle X high performance optical ignition system (read below)

Honda CB 500, 550, 750 owners have been limited to Dynosaur Ignition systems for years. (magnetic type sensors)
and Ignition Coils that were designed in the 19th Century.
Here is the bad news!
Magnetic sensors can cause timing to be off as much as 14 degrees. (plus or minus ± 7°)
(Magnets and Magnetic sensors are effected by metal mass, motion, heat and distance from pickup)
The illustration below shows the inconsistency of Magnetic sensors. 
This unwanted fluctuation in ignition timing will make your motor unhappy and give you the
impression the motor is not internally balanced properly. 
  
The coils (paper wrapped)  is considered to be early 1900's technology.
This Ignition causes coils develop excessive heat and are prone to failure, due to lack of dwell control leaving the coils on excessively.
Leaving the ignition switch on can cause failure to the coils or the Dyna "S" or both.
Our ignitions have an automatic shut-off coil shut off to prevent such heat and failure.
Dyna 2000's claim to have an coil-off situation, but the minute the motor is turned over they stay on and key must be shut off if engine is killed.  
Ever wonder why most racers carry extra sets of coils?
