Re: Camel 500 For Sale

Shameless reply to push this back to the top and also quietly add some contact info. Please form an orderly queue. A shortened version of the advert should appear in the next ATG.

Re: 78’ 500 clutch plates

Complete sets of steel and fibre plates are usually available at Mdina. They will probably be able to sort the spring nuts at the same time.

Camel 500 For Sale (SALE NOW AGREED!)

My 1982 Camel 500 is now up for sale. This is the bike I built up from a rolling chassis around 8 years ago. It has been in regular use as a trail bike since then and has taken me to many UK/Isle of Man green lanes and even as far as the Spanish Picos mountains. As seen at many club events/rallies/s...

Re: 78’ 500 clutch plates

The semi lined plate is a bit misleading. It's actually another friction plate but it's noticeably thinner than the others. I can't remember the exact numbers of each but if you have a proper parts list that should be reliable. The other important point about the clutch plates is that one of the ste...

Re: Morini Kanguro X3 For Sale

I admit its maybe the only one out there, but its not quite unobtainable :D I have a 501 Camel tank spare too-I think they ...

Re: Camel 501

Now there is a bargain for someone looking for a great adventure bike, with the liveliest engine too. Yes, they can also be a viable trail bike if you accept it for what it is. Getting to be hard to find now!

Re: Camel Mk3

For anyone wondering, this model does make a good trail bike/green laner. I have one and that is what I use it for. That is a decent offer price for a rare model too!

Re: Kickstart

No reason at all. Remove the whole mechanism though, not just the external lever, then bung the shaft hole with a Nylon or alloy plug that can't fall in or out.
You obviously have a good electric starter!

Re: Newbie concerns

George, get John to bring his bike along to one of the Warks meets-funny noises are very difficult to identify through the internet! I'm sure you will be able to point John in the right directions for working out whether there is anything to worry about. John-I hope you enjoy your new bike and get p...

Re: I'm rich, but not in a good way

Thanks all for the replies, I'll work my way through the suggestioins. On another note, does 230 Ohms with 54V at 'kickover' sound about right for the ignition coil? Volts seem lowish? 230 ohms sounds good and I 'think' the voltage too. I'm sure 70-ish volts at idle speed was what's expected. Flywh...

Re: alloy wheels - what is the coating?

I don't know what the original finish is, but it can definitely be removed by blasting.
