If you can get a parts book it shows the position of all the bolts and sizes in the description

I have a parts book for the K3.

Attached a scan of the relevant pages.

Let me know if you need any more.

cheers steve that looks good,

any link to where you downloaded that from ?

[SteveD CB500K0]

I scanned it from my own copy of the parts book.

It'll take time but I could scan the whole document if you like (not loose leaf and 77 pages unfortunately)

[MIKE550/4]

that would be good steve

[SteveD CB500K0]

I'll try to do it over the weekend and put up on my website for download.

I also have the parts book for the CB550F2

[MIKE550/4]

started this today after work got 2 questions

i am certain some of bolts are wrong on this bike and a couple missing

outer bolts ( 4 corners ) can someone confirm what size they are supposed to be,

also the front 2 as you sit on bike in the middle, next to tappet adjustment holes

also the tappet arms, they all move freely up and down apart from 1

as you sit on bike second left at front ( is this normal )

have a pic again

Outer 4 corners should be 6 x 25 pozi head screws, well not pozi but japanese phillips, DONT put allen screws in as the tappet caps will catch.

Front two that dont go through the breather are 6 x 32 and those that do are 6 x 65 again pozi heads.

There will always be at least one rocker arm that is trying to open a valve even with the screw backed right off.
