If you can get a parts book it shows the position of all the bolts and sizes in the description

I have a parts book for the K3.

Attached a scan of the relevant pages.

Let me know if you need any more.

I scanned it from my own copy of the parts book.

It'll take time but I could scan the whole document if you like (not loose leaf and 77 pages unfortunately)

I'll try to do it over the weekend and put up on my website for download.

I also have the parts book for the CB550F2

started this today after work got 2 questions

i am certain some of bolts are wrong on this bike and a couple missing

outer bolts ( 4 corners ) can someone confirm what size they are supposed to be,

also the front 2 as you sit on bike in the middle, next to tappet adjustment holes

also the tappet arms, they all move freely up and down apart from 1

as you sit on bike second left at front ( is this normal )

have a pic again

Outer 4 corners should be 6 x 25 pozi head screws, well not pozi but japanese phillips, DONT put allen screws in as the tappet caps will catch.

Front two that dont go through the breather are 6 x 32 and those that do are 6 x 65 again pozi heads.

There will always be at least one rocker arm that is trying to open a valve even with the screw backed right off.
