Having discovered a slight oil leak between the fins on my 500, I've taken the cam cover off to replace the 6 rubber sealing grommets as I suspect they are the culprits. Looking at cylinders 1&4 the cams run in an oil bath without drain holes, however cylinders 2&3 the oil bath has drain hole, so until the oil pressure comes up they are effectively running almost dry for a few seconds, until the oil bath fills up. I vaguely remember seeing a photo of two cylinder heads some time ago, one with drain holes and the other without. Would it be advisable/ beneficial to tap a thread in the drain holes and put a screw in blocking the drain hole so the oil bath fills as cylinders 1&4 and letting the oil drain back down through the cam chain tunnel.

What is the general consensus on the best rear shock to fit to a 500.

Just had my c/cases, head, barrel, carbs done. My only bit of advice is pressure wash the parts after blasting, then clean,clean and clean again. The shit gets everywhere and it won't take much to wreck an engine. But it does look good when finished, even unpainted.

Anybody have or has a contact for a :-
500 clutch adjuster and lever arm. Part No's 22841 266 000 & 22810 323 000.
I know there the same on quite a few models and there are some on ebay at crazy prices in Germany, which depending on replies, maybe the route I'll have to take. But someone might just make my day!!

Please don't take offence Ash, as I've just got the hang of a 13A plug so your reply was way and above my skill set, but I do appreciate the time and effort you put into it. I'm sure there is somebody out there that understands what you were saying!! Also thanks to K2 for your comments, I will go with the Hondaman system should Oddjob import a load. But as you said, there have been std points fitted since I've had the bike without problems but the Hondaman system seems a good way of "preserving" or improving that system at reasonable cost. Many thank to you all for your comments.
