Shocking !!!!!! (as in electrics)

May be, but it matters more where you have seen them. As far as errors in Honda documents, I've detected a few in the Shop Manual Honda CB500-550, but not in the parts list that covers this model. But let's not make it more complicated than necessary. On the Cylinder Head Cover you will find 4 extra nuts (and washers) which fasten the cotter pins. The forsaid parts list is perfectly clear on this, in p.9,10 and 13. If they are not present, no cotter pins. Concerning the CB500, you will only find them on the CB500K2 (ED, F, G) and the CB500K3-ED

MCTID:
Here are my Rockers.....they appear to be in good condition - as does the Camshaft. I can't see any cotters ? Are they hidden under the RUBBER,SEALING, part number: 91318300013

I'll let you fellas fight over it ! LOL.

Oddjob:
The 500 tended to have the long shafts after a certain engine number, however unlike the 550 they were not pinned into place via cotter pins. I'd say the pins would be under the pontefract rubbers Roy, if you'd take a pic of the other side you'd know for sure as they are easy to spot from the top.

You can see the 500 long shafts on CMS, they don't have the cut out section the 550 ones have.

Sesman:
Yep, under the cluster of four pontefract cakes in the centre. As Oddjob says, easily seen on the other side.

It's not mine Ken, it belongs to Alan (MCTID) but I have heard it running. Short story is, he bought it running and it sounded sweet. It then had a trailer ride home and taking it off the trailer it fell over (fairly gently). When it was started after that it has a knocking noise that's quite hard to pin down. It knocks worse at tickover but the knock speed increases with revs a bit like a failing big end would. it's also running quite badly that wont be helping with backlash noise that's why he has been going through the electrics. My first thoughts were that something has become dislodged either with vibration on the trailer or the fall, but I cant help really as I know virtually nothing about the 500/550. So over to you guys.
