Recently bought a 2002 CB500-2, it was serviced before I bought it, but I'm not happy that it's running right.
I've previously ridden a YBR 125 which ran very smoothly and was very forgiving if you were in too high a gear. Should I try and keep the revs above a certain level on the CB? The reason I ask is that there is loads of vibration at anything below about 4100 rpm.
I'm used to being able to ride comfortably at 30mph in 5th on the 125 but the CB isn't happy at that speed unless I'm in 3rd.
Don't want to spend on a garage if it's normal.
Sorry if I'm being a bit dim but I don't know what to expect.
Many thanks.
John
