Hope this helps? Ian

Hi, just shorten the outer cables by 3mm? Pull back the ferrule, cut back the plastic to reveal the metal which can be cut off carefully with wire cutters or a Dremel without disturbing the inner cable Then file/clean it all up and slide back the ferrule In my British bike days I used to buy the nea...

As with all 500 twin shock frames you can remove the rear cylinder barrel in situ The barrel needs to be tilted whilst taking it off the studs; it's all a bit tight and the studs will 'spring' over the liner a bit if you get a bit stuck I did it earlier this year on a 500 Camel, it was a bit of a fi...

Hand guards make a big difference and they are also made for road bikes these days Really, proper warm gloves are needed Mitts rather than gloves are best for all year riding; in the past I've used skiing mitts over thin wool gloves A serious outdoor shop should have various options of quality inner...

Hi, the part number is 46.05.86 and used for the later 501 Coguaro/New York/Excalibur. Mdina have them

It's possible I might have one lurking in a box

Hi, have never seen any pressure values for the 501 forks Start with the weight off the front wheel and the forks fully extended, bleed the valves and see how it feels with the max air volume at atrmospheric pressure (as with the earlier 500 Camel 38mm forks) I've found this fine on the 501 Or exper...

Slightly shorter than the original yet it fits the Camel twin shock swinging arm

Yes to the return of the Scottish Camping Weekend
See you there?

Hi Tom, an interesting quest What carbs/settings are you currently using and the difference the fuel pump makes Plus what are your intake mods I would try getting the main jets right first, then the needle height and tune from there Also the adjustment of the pilot jets will indicate whether you nee...

Great off road trip on the best bike, well done!

Sorry, I just checked and the 6V indicator/flasher relay wires are purple and orange

The 501 XE horn and turn signal 6V circuits are linked together at the dash/instrument lights The 6V indicator relay is located to the left of the lower triple tree; small cylinder in rubber mount with a purple and red wire The purple wires also connect at the spade/Lucar terminal block (black) behi...

Hi, I can photograph the 501 XE calipers, master cylinders and the parts book pages if that helps?

If you send me a PM with your Email address I can Email the images etc; as cannot compress image files to a size/format that the forum likes!
