I have a 4-1 exhaust system: everything is new. Plugs and filter too. I've stripped carbs and replaced the rubber seals. Measured the float height.
I have no idea what the standard jets are supposed to be so whatever was on there I put back.
I'm not sure how I find out if the advanced timing is working. It moves when I stripped it down and oiled it. Springs felt ok aswell.
I've had the bike running ok one minute and the next it started the splutter and hasn't really ran properly at higher revs since.

I've not long had the bike and finally got it an Mot. The bike would not Rev passed 5k. Would alway spit and splutter. I took carbs off and the float level was at 26mm so set it to 22.
I adjusted tappets. And the. Looked at timing.
I used the light test to do the static timing. I had the light coming on smack on between the T and F marks but the bike would not start. I then opened the points up a little and the bike starts and runs smooth on tick over.
I balanced the carbs. Took it a ride and it still splutters. I don't know if it's the timing or fuel. Like I say the timing is way off the mark but only way to get it running
Any ideas or help

Yeah a 550 one would be great if you have one matthew. I'm not going 100% original. It came to me as a spares bike. So missing so many parts. So I'm slowly trying to build it back up again so anything is better than nothing.
Keep me posted

I'm missing my centre stand on my 500 along with many other parts. But centre stands are quite hard to find. I spotted one on flea bay but it's off a 400. Will it fit?

I'll keep looking then. Second hand will do for me but obviously I want it to be in decent condition really.

I've seen new complete ones for £140.
I'd rather an original one on it tbh.
Cheers. I'll keep looking now for one, just needed to know if they were all the same 👍🏻

im after a front mudguard for my 500. I noticed that 350 and 750 models looks the same too along with 500T's. Are they all interchangeable? Just increases the chances of finding a decent guard if I know

The chassis number is stamped onto the frame stem same as the normal U.K. Bikes.

Thank you..
My bike is black. Has the higher bars and doesn't have the seperate headlight switch. But has the 4 hole mudguard. So it's a bit all over the place

What silencers can fit with the Delkevic headers? I looked at these the other day as I have a motad system on at the moment and it's not noisy enough for me.

I bought a 500f last weekend but it's in a sorry state. Wrong parts and random nuts and bolts.
So there are a few parts that make me wonder if it was an import. The v5 was an old style one as it's been sat up for a long time.
But rear mudguard looks non uk. Handlebars arent uk ones either.
But either someone's changed it over time or it's an old import.
Anyway of telling? Chassis number ?
