CB500/550 / Cam end cover leak!!!

« on: July 25, 2016, 11:24:43 AM »

Hi All. Don't know if anyone has any tips on this as its driving me mad!

I have a leak from both sides of the cam cover plates. I've tried replacing the O rings and even a little silicon, but nothing seems to be stopping it.

Any other ideas/recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks

CB500/550 / Tapered steering head bearing install

« on: February 26, 2016, 03:00:28 PM »

Right then. I'm in the process of rebuilding my cb550 and I'm just about ready to install the head bearings. I have a set of bearing from All bearings and they come with 2 different thickness spacers. I've read so many post of what thickness to use and where to install the spaces that I'm still none the wiser. Unfortunately I don't have the old races that I can measure and compare. Is there another way of measuring this prior to fitting to make sure I use the correct spacer?

The last thing I want to do is fit one spacer then find out its the incorrect one and have to take it off!!

What the title says, what fork and engine oil would people recommend for a CB550 K3?

If it makes any difference for the fork oil, I weigh around 80kg's

Just looking for some feedback as I've read a lot of different things!

Thanks
