Posted yesterday on VJMC Facebook site the two lower pipes for 500/4 brand new.

Hi people's, after total ground up rebuild the bike is ready for mot, the problem I have is it is very hard to change out of first when engine is running the clutch is adjusted as per manual I have put new Barnet plates and springs in and am running the motor in using 15w-40 mineral oil. I am down to replacing the cable as this is near its limit maybe an eighth of an inch adjustment at lever a quarter at clutch, any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks Clive

Hi all, it's me again D the bike is now firing on all four new plug, points, carbs stripped and rebuilt and bench set as p r forum and all gone over twice to eliminate possable cockups! So here we go on cold start there is a phisst back throug #4 carb this gets less as bike warms but the main concern is that when I blip the throttle the bike keeps high revving (around 3k) until I press down on the 4 large brass cover caps. I have lubricated all external moving parts, but this has not helped. Ideas please before I go for an expensive option like a refurb set.

Well I've got new point and backing plate adv-ret good but no matter what I try I cannot get it to line up on 1-4 so can't do 2-3. on full advance I am falling about 3mm short of the F Mark. So I refer to the manual and it says disconect the capacitor to static time? I have followed these instructions but still can only get same results .
The backing plate has no slack in it and on full clockwise I can only get the top screw in.
What Am I missing?

P.S any advice please explain in terms a 5 year old would understand!!!! 

Hi all, got the beast wired now the problem is no spark to 2&3 plugs or points I have good spark to 1&4. Any ideas? I am leaning towards duff coil pack! Any and all possable causes  greatfully accepted.

Hi, a bit of advice please the cam guide on a 550 which way up? One end from the pivet point is longer than the other longest to the top or shortest. Thanks for any input.
