Any luck with the forks? Have you fixed it?
Mine where knocking on braking, it started after I took spacers out, think new springs are needed.

I'm hoping that I will not need to work on the bottom end...
I'm a bit flustered as every little thing I do seems to have make more trouble, I'm simply trying to work out how to save few quid and since I need few other bits it makes more sense to get it form DS and save 5 or 10 pounds on postage.
I can't work out if set form DS has same items as the one you kindly sent me link to.

Trigger, I wa sloking for the gasket set and I cant find the one you mention, found their website and they don't list cb550 http://catalog.vesrah.co.jp/index_street_f.html

I'm looking for a gasket set and so far wemoto and DS are the only ones I found, any recommendation, or could you let me know where do you get yours?


That has done a few miles but, you are in now. Check, de-coke, check. See how good the cam chain is why your there. I always use Vesrah gaskets, very good and cheaper than originals.

Cam chain tensioner slider needs replacing, screw is a bit dodgy, tried to wiggle it around it kind of work but plastic has deep grooves and shows cracks.
Trigger, would you scrape carbon deposit and re set valves? Please explain what do you mean by checking, do you mean piston, bore and rings check? As far as I know you need spacial micro meters which I dont have.
Any advice much appreciated.

Good news, all nuts off and no more broken bits!
A bit hesitant about taking cylinder off, I suppose I should just to check if all rings are still there.
Bad news, valves looks a bit tired, there i so much crap on them, can I get it off? What shall I use?
Cylinders are loose now as well, so I guess have to replace that gasket too...
Is DS Engine gasket set, "Complete Top and Bottom end" alright?
Pictures to follow.

Tappets look alright, but head has to come off, thinking about it really should fix it properly a specially that there is a oil leak from gasket.
This is such a disaster project, happy that temperature is getting higher so easier to work on bike.

Mike, I did send bomber a PM explaining everything he was getting in a bit of a mess. bomber, once you get your rocker off, check all your tappets for any chips. If you find any that are chipped, check all the valves for any damage.
