Reg can brake down and over power the plugs burning the diode out.
?
BTW, my 500 starts within a blink next day after being used, two days later still perfect, three days later still OK, but... when bike has stood for 5 days or more it is hard to start. Nothing to do with battery charge (checked this), nothing to do with gas or carbs (checked this too).
Suggestions anyone?

Could it be something simple as (very) old gas?

Interesting. The US 500K2's were 1973 and didn't have the colors and striping of the later 500K2 [ED, F, G] for Europe in 1976.

Honda had various cables as the models had various handlebars. US had highrise handlebars, Europe not.

That makes me curious. What does that exhaust modification sticker say? Can't remember having seen one.

That refers to the 500. On p. 141-2 you'll find service data for the 550.

Tip: always consult the genuine Honda Shop Manual CB500 - CB550 as found in:
http://www.honda4fun.com/materiale-documentazione-tecnica/shop-manual.
Download and forget about Haynes.

550?
Thickness plates (new) per Honda Shop Manual is 2,6 mm. What makes you think you have to renew them?

The 500/550 will be in the historybooks... next to the pyramids.
Reminds me of that American. Hadn't he done 1.600.000 kms with his Honda Accord? O, here, it is: http://www.autojunk.nl/2011/10/joe-doet-1-000-000-mijl-in-een-honda-accord

Actually 15W40 is the better oil, unless you live in the north of Canada and ride at temperatures below zero a lot. Mine shifts better with 15w40.

Do NOT tighten them according manual torque. Don't ask me how I know. Just use your senses.
