I have a Sei with no headlight. I'm not too bothered about originality so would consider LED even though I believe they're not strictly legal. Any recommendations? I also need front indicators (although I might just ditch them altogether) if likewise there are any recommendations/advice? Also on my ...

If anyone has a pdf or similar of the six speed supplement I’d be interested in getting a copy and will also send to the club librarian. If simon wants to let me borrow his I’ll happily scan it

Thanks to Stempy and 3pot for coming up with pdf of the 500 parts list. I’ve offered it to the club librarian for everyone’s benefit HOWEVER it is for the 500W (the 5 speed). Does anyone know whether there was a separate parts manual for the Sei (six speed) and/or have one?
The quest is on!

Great stuff - thanks. I’ll wait and see if anyone has one but if not I’ll buy from Mdina

I keep getting eBay reminders that a 500 parts manual is being listed at an eye watering €66 (plus €24 postage!) Does anyone in the club have one to sell at a price that doesn’t involve me getting a second mortgage? Alternatively if someone is willing to lend me one I’m happy to copy it for the club...

Thanks Steve

The bike has never been running while Ive had it and I'm about to do a belt change. In getting the marks lined up as per the blue book (w...

thanks George -in the end decided to use a thin smear of graphite grease - seems to withstand temperature and pressure and doesn't eat nylon as far as I'm aware
we'll see...

The blue book says apply castrol cm grease to the plastic washer behind the clutch basket - I can’t find it or an equivalent. Can anyone suggest an alternative?

meant to order one of these but didn't and now I see they're out of stock - is there likely to be any more available or does anyone have a spare???

saw this little gem a couple of weeks ago - a very nice original bike I must say. Ian very kindly let me take it out for a spin and it went like a train. I couldn't stop smiling

I had this problem and in another post someone suggested freeze and release spray. I tried it as I didn’t want to risk destruction. I was dubious but amazingly it freed all of the clutch nuts. I would recommend giving it a go
