One job done !!
corromant:
CB500 four K1
Done about 41000
Bryanj:
If the bike has been really hammered with badly adjusted carbs it is possible for the primary chain to damage the main oil galleries enough to ruin everything, you can tell by removing the sump pan and feeling the casting with a finger, normaly the oil pressure switch is at fault
corromant:
Spot on Bryanj, new pressure switch fitted & that seems to be one problem sorted, while the sprocket cover is off I'll see if I can get the neutral switch to work.
It would appear that I also need a new clutch rod as well as mine is in at least 2 pieces, after a bit of research on here I've just ordered some 8mm silver steel to make a new one. Is there a steel ball at the end or is that another bodge?
Just found the answer to my query about the steel ball while studying an exploded diagram.

I sell the push rod for the 500 which is the right diameter and length with the ends machined.

I have some NOS neutral switchs but they were not cheap
