CB500 Engine Strip & Rebuild - Tips

[philward]

Just received primary chain (genuine Kawasaki, so good quality - if it takes GPZ600 power, must be ok for 500Four!) from Motocycle Spare Parts (Holland) and arrived within a week - good service and only £49 (no customs duty requested by Royal Mail) - will have to see what else they do

Have just ordered all the engine parts from various places and it occured to me that as the starter clutch is inside the motor, should I put new starter rollers etc in? (another £50 ish on top of a several hundred pound engine build)
Question is:- does the 500 suffer from problems in this area? I didn't have any problems hen I did 40,000 on mine in the 70's. (I've never run this particular bike before strip down)
Advice from the 500 experts please

cheers (again) Ken

Interesting! Will try it tomorrow (can't go to the garage again and risk the wifes wrath again - just come in from garage and walked carbon/oil footprints across the carpet!)
