Re: Camel500 Air Box

Hi there, I have a 501 airbox. It's likely the same. Complete with filter. It is a round barrel type airbox if that helps describe it. Hope this helps. Cheers Sadly that won't fit-it's for the monoshock frames and there isn't anything like the space available to get it in there. Some people have fi...

Re: low to mid range flat spot

The balance ports Mickey refers to are on the carbs, not the rubber inlet mounts. There is usually a rubber pipe connecting one cylinder to the other, but they may be blanked off by a previous owner.

Re: Carburation issue?

I know that it sounds strange. It' just a cheap way trying change the posicion of the holes of the atomizer. Nothing to Do with magic :wink: This is a perfectly good idea in principle. Another way of achieving the same effect is to place a small shim under the throttle needle clip, so long as the s...

Re: and this bit goes where?

That sounds suspiciously like a locating dowel for the primary case to crankcase joint. Normally two of them to centralise everything.

Re: Camel

We should ask Mark Graham if he'd mind us copying that and using it at shows etc. I'll send him a request!

Re: Charging or ignition failure.

As Norbert says, there isn't really an ignition light as such. Depending which year/model you have and whether the wiring has been modified in some way, it's hard to guess what's happening. On most 350's the red light should come on with the ignition key turned on, and stay on permanently until you ...

Re: Isle of Man 2025- classic TT and the MRC's 50th Anniversary

Hi all, especially Tom who’s enabled me to use the forum. I’m an IoM resident (Peel), and may be able to help if anyone has problems at the Manx. I’m going to try to make contact with the owners of the Highlander to ask about a photo shoot. If any (most?) of MRC members are in the VMCC, the Manx Ra...

Re: 175 Testa Piatta.

Hi Jenny, I've seen that website too! It describes exactly what I love to achieve for my ideal green lane/LDT bike. If I win tonight's lottery I'll be on my way to see them with a hired interpreter and a bag of cash. After I'd bought my second home on the Isle of Man etc etc.. :)

Re: Rear disc for 1978 500 Strada.............

They are the same as the front discs, and have enough material to regrind usually. Disc Doctor in Yorkshire somewhere does a good postal service, Mdina will most likely have some and so do I.

Re: 350 Sport for Sale

My 350 Sport is still for sale-the bike trade seems very quiet now and even my Suzuki is not attracting much interest. So this is an unashamed bid to get the message out there again. I am open to offers of course, and still open to bribes including Corsaro Regolarita 125 or 150! I rode the Sport to ...

Re: Repair cracks in tanks

That looks like interesting stuff! Has your tank been resting on the air filter box though? Are the cracks due to some stress raised there? I've been lucky so far and only seen witness marking from cables routed under the tank. I'll certainly look out for the product you mention in the meantime, tha...
