Are you sure the front cam chain guide is fitted correctly, it goes INSIDE the chain

Careful which gaskets you make, Honda work the gasket thickness into any clearance required, hence why using liquid gasket dont work

Here is how i do it

Sort out the spokes into two not identical piles, the ends at the hub are different angles and lengths.

One set goes from outside in and the other inside out

Fit only the outside in ones and fit to rimequally

True the wheel on just these spokes

Fit the inside out spokes with nipples and tighten evenly

Check the runout again.

Doing it thisway you are truing on only half the spokes which is a lot easier.

NOTE you can not fit the outside in spokes afterwards as the fitted spoke get in the way so it is VERY important to do it the correct way

No way of testing off the bike, you should find a size of 12 point metric socket will fit exactly onto the switch to undo and no idea why connectors are like that

PM me your address, they are a bit thicker to compensate for the non asbestos thicker gasket

That plus keep soalking the gasket, wd40 will do.

If you want some O rings for the head gasket to stop a future leak pm me

The 400 regulator is different from all the other fours as the spade connectors face like in picture and not straight out of the back, presumably due to space constraints

If it did come off a 550K2 it should fit a 500, only difference is pattern on cover

No problem Dave, if you painted the engine brackets that would give the earth problem, from the factory the brackets had no paint where they touched the engine and where cable touched
