500 didn't get the disc guard, the 550 did. You can leave it on though as most people wouldn't know that.
The countershaft is out of a 550 not a 500. Unless you've nicked the needle roller bearing off the 550 as that's a small oil pump on the end.
Check how many teeth the primary drive gear has got. They differ between the 500 and 550 as the clutch basket changed. 500 has 24 and 550 has 26 IIRC.
Change the damper rubbers in the primary drive hub, sure we've already told you that.

500 K2 had a brake guard? Or are we just talking about UK variants?
Oddjob:
I don't usually refer to non UK variants as I don't know for certain what each country got.
Sesman:
Thought as much.
Looks like the bike is coming along fine. Although not a conkers finish it looks like the purchaser got a reasonable deal and hopefully the resurrection will be worthy of the previous owners praise, although posthumously.

Does this look correct. It wasnt working when I got it so I dont know how it should be. All the videos of rebuilds I found on utube seem to be for the 550. [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
