Hi all,
I'm currently compiling a list of "wearable" items in the engine that I need to replace, including all seals, gaskets, o-ring, bearings, etc...
I have taken look through the Vesrah kit parts list and compared it to the part numbers in the CB550K3 parts book - the only item that doesn't match is "11394-390-306 - Crankcase Cover Gasket - x1" where the parts book for both the CB550K3 (E-7 Item2) and 1975 CB550F2 (E-6 Item2) says it's 11394-390-300?
Finally, with a list of 58 items that I've identified that should be replaced in the engine, just wondering which of the parts books would be the better source to getting correct parts?
Oddjob:
The change in number doesn't mean much in that case, it can mean a change in manufacturer, a change in composition, maybe a harder rubber etc. If it was a major change they'd have changed the part number or the middle number and recalled all the F2s so they could change those.
If it's a 500 stay with the 500 book, same as 550, F stay with the F book and K stay with the K book.
juitz:
Thanks! Mine is a K1 but not sure what was changed between K1 and K3.
Any recommendations for clutch friction plates. I'm thinking EBC?
Oddjob:
Nothing wrong with standard OE plates IMO.
What's wrong with the plates you have now?
Bryanj:
All 500 are same but two different set ups on 550 depending on year and wether it has the double steel plate
