Have you got that nylon ring between the pad and the piston?
Also put some production paper between the pads and disc (rough side to disc) and spin the wheel a few times with the paper draging to clean any secret additive (SH*T) from the disc appart from that "sorry sir they all do that, its a built in geriatric warning!"

According to the early 500 handbooks you can go right through the red bit!
Spent 2 years doing that in gears up to 3rd on one cos i was fed up with the reliability---know what damn thing still never went bang and when i pulled it to do the oil weep (Thats built in at the factory sir!) EVERYTHING was still well inside tolerance so i twin disced it with one caliper in front and one behind--looked odd but stopped well

If one side is working and the other not its not a relay problem its EITHER wrong bulb wattage OR bad earth contact.
You can fit any relay that is for 2 x 21 watt + 1 x 3 watt, go to halfords and get the cheapest car elactronic one you can and that should work, or any bike dealer that uses Hi-Level as a supplier

The K3 has pressed in pilot jets which need to be removed to clean properly. Using mole grips Grip tightly, without crushing, and pull and twist at the same time.
Refit with a light tap from a soft faced hammer

Thanks Matt, according to the parts book the inlet manifolds and manifold to carb rubbers on the K3 are 404 middle numbers which makes them unique to the K3, i suspect you are using K3 manifolds and rubbers, I only owned one K3 and that was sold to Ireland in a "chop" and didnt have an Airbox only pods and that i had to pull the pilots 3 times to get them clean!!
As to chairs I only drove one and that was a Cossack Urinal with the posh Dneper chair as against the "fit a machine gun" original, Unfortunately they were RH chairs putting the bike in the gutter making for "Interesting" handling and impoved muscles in the left arm-----swore that would be the only time and so far i kept to it

Matt, do you run the 500 air box with the 550 engine and carbs? I was under the impression that the carb spacing was different, i know the intake rubbers are different (carb to head)

Depends on the type of carbs mate, look on the top and see if the top cover is "coffin" shaped hald on with a screw at each side or "P" shaped held on with a screw at top and bottom.
It ought to be the former and have the same float setting as the 500.

Nothing to do with master unless you bypassed the 3 way block bolted to the bottom yoke,
Front brake light on 500 is operated by a Hydraulic switch in the 3 way, sometimes the wires get disconnected when working on the bars

Ah Steve that is the ultimate question, to which the answer is not 42.
I did know but the years have passed and the grey cells have been Guinesssed repeatedly(if you can get away with tappety-----) so there is no longer any sense or knowledge

Nah, Dave, the original post said "First find a trained spider with a mechanical bent" Also useful for re-fitting 500/550 cam covers!

Slightly wider but fits, go to ebay.com and search the US, lots of good ones over there BUT be advised the US Post Office only do airmail now so postage can be high
