Bob Wessner has offered to have a go.

I've put the files on my website so that he can download them.

Thanks Bryan.

I've put the feelers out (as you can see) here and in the Triumph forums.

The pdf file is 7M (so not too big).

If you don't mind, I won't send the book back until I've sorted this  :(

Misc / Open / PDF Editor needed for CB500 Parts Book
« on: March 17, 2009, 01:48:47 PM »
Bryan Jones sent me a very precious CB500 K0/K1 Parts Book which I have scanned to pdf (157 pages!)

Checking the file, I find that I've missed out one of the contents pages and scanned one of the other pages twice.

This took me about 3 hours to scan so don't really want to do it again!

Does anyone have access to a PDF Editor programme so that they could fix the file for me before posting it on the site(s)

Steve

It's a Word document.

I'll save it as a pdf if you like (but the pictures will probably suffer)

As Bryan says (how often do I say that!):

1. Cut them off and screw in new ones (trouble sealing though so possible bad news when it rains)

2. Cut the coils back and solder new wires. Reseal with epoxy. See attachment for details.

I've seen loads of bikes with pod filters over the years.  None ever required any extra support.

... it sounds as though the neutral safety switch is gone.

That's what lead me to wonder about the SOHC vs DOHC as our old bikes don't have neutral safety cutouts, clutch switch cutouts (or any other safety cutout really!)

Those were the days.  ;D

Eric - is your bike a DOHC model?

If so, you might have more success on the DOHC sites:

We use the same software so mostly the same. The two sites are completely separate and there's no connection (other than some members).

Hello Eric.

While I don't want to put you off posting here, this is a primarily UK-based site. We have a US-based sister site at http://forums.sohc4.net (I say the same thing to European members over there!)

Use the same username so that we recognise you and pop back here every now and then and let us know how you are doing.

That gap looks very big.

On my 500, the gap between the outer edge of the disc and the caliper is only 1-2mm

CB650 / Re: CB650sc Nighthawk. Oil Cooler.
« on: March 02, 2009, 06:53:47 AM »
Not a 650 guy but it strikes me that the Nighthawk came in SOHC and DOHC form. If the later twin cam model had an oil cooler (anyone?) - it may fit.

Your bike was designed without one, so unless you live in a really hot place, it probably won't make any difference.

Agreed. A good 10W/40 mineral oil.

I use Rock Oil but there are others out there.
