CB550 refurb
Bryanj:
At about £50 for the kawasaki one its one of those while you are there jobs(unlike the£110 Honda one!) The expensive bits are the rubber dampers in the primary drive as there are 8 of them
Johnny4428:
Do you happen to know which compatible chain to order Bryan. Like the idea of paying less than half the price for a similar product!😜
Seabeowner:
The Kawasaki primary chain is 92057-1011. I've fitted a couple. One has been in for about 5000 miles over the last 9 years. It was £39 then. But the 8 rubber dampers are another £35-£40. Plus the cam chain and the new seals and gaskets to it does mount up. I'd never split the bottom end of an engine until then and it was pretty strait forward with no special tools. A puller is needed to remove the primary shaft, but a long bolt with the correct thread was all that was needed.
Sesman:
You don’t need a puller for the primary shaft…use the long, rear engine mount bolt as a make shift slide hammer 😁.And leave the alternator rotor on the crank.
Sesman:
I have a brand new heavy duty cam chain if you are interested.
