Okay fellas, I split the casings and took a look. Here's a link to pictures https://photos.app.goo.gl/xUKcmLBYLNYGFGEs2Can you fellas have a look at the forks etc and let me know what you's think? Also, the gear selector shaft which the gear lever connects too. Should there be any play horizontally? Mine moves around 5-10mm left and right

I am getting confused by this thread, the 500 and 550 are different gear boxes. lucky that I am building a 550 today. Hope the pics help. (Attachment Link)
Trigger! This is perfect many many thanks. It's a 550 I have. Cheers

Has anyone got a good clear picture of the clutch side of things? Ie the gear change mech etc?

Drained the oil and took the sump off today. As you guys thought gears have been chewed  Not 100% sure which ones yet but engine is out and gonna split it tomorrow. The Selector forks how can I tell of they are done? Can I post pictures tomorrow for you chaps to look at?

Afraid not. Silly question, but if it was jumping out of gear last summer, did it not cross your mind to investigate it while the engine was out, would have saved you all this heartbreak.

I know your totally right, but tbh i thought it was more Clutch related and maybe needed time to bed in or something (first time building anything like this) Only other thing i can think of is the Rear Sets i Have Fitted, that gear change side has some movement in it that might not be helping getting a proper purchase to go into gear properly. I'll try the old Gear lever on for a run and report back first. The Forks you guys are talking about, is it normally the two on the upper shaft and not on the drum? ie 1&3 on the below link https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cb550k3-four-england_model14671/partslist/E16.html#results

Sadly I have seen this a few times over the years, normal cause is a worm or vent selector fork. The 500/4 was well known for it, and the selectors were modified for the 550's but do still fail occasionally. Someone else may have a different view on it, but my money is on the selector fork.

A worm or vent fork? your spell checker not working Hairy 
I did wonder lol!! Probably a stupid question but I'll ask anyway. Is this a case of a full engine strip down again? Or can I go bottom half down?

 Great sounds like a lot of fun. Someone has suggested changing the oil from 15w40 to 10w40 as well. It wouldn't be clutch adjustment related no? Gutted if it's gearbox as I've only just got the bike built up again after the winter

Probably a stupid question. I've black Powdercoated clip ons. Would I need to take away all the paint below the switch to allow it to earth or just a little?

Thanks for clearing this up guys really appreciate it. I did actually do that last weekend (put black from around the coils to the horn) and hit the button but it didn't work. But I'm realising now that might be because the controls weren't attached to the bars yet so therefore not earthing? Is this correct?

Oh no  Hopefully someone knows what is needed

Ok guy's,
I have a 1979 CB550k3, it came with the original handlebar controls but as they were faulty I bought new ones.
The original left side had the horn and slide over to pass which had the Light Green wire and Black. This new control only has a Light Green coming from that button and horn only.
As I'm sure you have guessed by now the horn works on the old button but not new. Anyone know how I solve it?
I'm sure it's beyond simple but Electrics aren't my strong point lol

Hi guy's got a K3 with Keihin Carbs and pods. I'm going to get new main jets as it isn't running correctly obviously on the stock jets.
My question is... What are the exact size of the jets? ie dimensions? I can buy two options 8mm long and 9mm long.
I can't take my carbs off just atm to check as I'm using it daily this week as my car is in for a service.
Thanks in advance
