Thanks, but and should the primary transmission bearings be changed? I have already seen the seals, do you recommend some sealant to join the parts

Thanks guys

Not unless worn or noisy
Hondabond used VERY sparingly between crankcase halves nothing on any paper gasket

Permatex ultra grey

Hello again, I have already bought shock absorbers for the primary transmission, the chain is waiting for me at the post office, the sealant is on the way, but now I have to buy the plasti gauge to measure the gap, but I don't know what measure to buy, In ebay eu there are several for sale, but I don't know which one to choose, could someone help me with the choice, thanks

On my 400f I used the Red plastiguage 0.025mm - 0.175mm but also bought Grey/White 0.018mm - 0.045mm.

I have 3 options, which of these do I buy?

The part was superseded by 53231-390-010 which gives the same result.

Sorry, I don't know the difference if any. Also note that forsaid parts finder site is about US models.
It could have to do with the changed bolts: 8X56 was changed to flange bolts 7X54 (PN: 90155-369-000) on later models. Could. This modification was done because people sometimes forgot to insert the special 'D' shaped space washers into the slits. When then torqued, the top bridge could crack. If you go to the parts lists, you'll probably find out. They're all here: http://www.honda4fun.com/materiale-documentazione-tecnica/parts-list/parts-list-cb550 Let us know.

do not . It is not cracked, it is that here in Spain, to change any part that they consider important, a reform project signed by an engineer must be done, as it comes out of the factory with its original handlebar and I go with clips ons the clamps are very bad , there are plenty, that's why I wanted another one to modify it by removing them and when I finished all the modifications, do one of those projects, which are not free, so every time I go to pass the technical inspection, every 2 years I have to change those parts, in This country is full of those stupid laws, (I am not Spanish, I come from a free country and this is very annoying) I thought that maybe those of another cylinder are also the same and thus have more options to look for
