CB500 Engine Strip & Rebuild - Tips

<< < (4/4)

philward:
Just received primary chain (genuine Kawasaki, so good quality - if it takes GPZ600 power, must be ok for 500Four!) from Motocycle Spare Parts (Holland) and arrived within a week - good service and only £49 (no customs duty requested by Royal Mail) - will have to see what else they do

philward:
Have just ordered all the engine parts from various places and it occured to me that as the starter clutch is inside the motor, should I put new starter rollers etc in? (another £50 ish on top of a several hundred pound engine build)
Question is:- does the 500 suffer from problems in this area? I didn't have any problems hen I did 40,000 on mine in the 70's. (I've never run this particular bike before strip down)
Advice from the 500 experts please

philward:
cheers (again) Ken

philward:
Interesting! Will try it tomorrow (can't go to the garage again and risk the wifes wrath again - just come in from garage and walked carbon/oil footprints across the carpet!)
