This Saturday-Lunch in The midlands

It is short notice I know-for that I apologise. I democratically, all by myself decided to try a lunchtime weekend meet for the winter months, for our Warwickshire section. I picked the Wharf Inn at Welford. NN6 6JQ. It's very close to the A14 and there are plenty of nice non-motorway/main road rout...

Re: left hand gearchange conversions

As you've seen here the Camel and Kanguro are Left footers as standard. They have a crossover tube welded into the frame, close to where the centre stand pivot tube is. As far as I know there are no ready made kits for sale but there were some done either by the factory for various markets/models. T...

Re: Starter motor chain snapped

Hi, that's a bind! You're right about the chain being a standard size and I bought one at a local bearing shop. They could only supply with a split link which I have use but keep as a spare now. As for the sprockets, I would like to know if any way of replacing them is found too! I have a couple of ...

Re: Clutch centre difference

Are you sure? I thought the difference was the input shaft on the 500 is beefier and the sleeve is different, but the hub is the same. Referee! Oops, just seen your other post. How would the plates be the same if the centre hubs were different? It's just the diameter of the inner splined part.(wher...

Clutch centre difference

Please see my reply on the seized nuts post in the 350 forum. I am guilty of spreading the rumour that the clutch centre hub is the same on both.
Well it isn't. You probably know already, sorry if I have mislead anyone.

Re: clutch spring nuts seized

I have also been guilty of telling everybody that the clutch centre is the same part on 350 and 500. Well, I owe you all an apology-I am 100% wrong!
The difference is the splined centre-it's larger diameter for the 500. I had thought the difference was just the steel bush and the bearings. Hey ho.

Re: Chain slider

Tom the Camel and Kanguro items are different I'm sure. Rollers the same I think.

Re: clutch spring nuts seized

The clutch assembly is the same on all the air cooled V twins. So if listed for a Kanguro then fine. It's probably because the Kanguro was a big seller in many countries so the most common model.

Re: clutch spring nuts seized

350/500 are all the same and if no stock at Mdina then try Stein Dinse in Germany. Failing that I have plenty of used but usable plates. Only the dished type I'm short of. I think I saw Mdina had those in stock when I last checked.
If you want some used stuff I'm in South Leicestershire UK.

Re: Kanguro X1 owners

Looks a good starting point for a Kanguro! I haven't got the pics you want but I'd guess the second reg/rec is fed by the grey wire from the flywheel? This is what usually sends the 12v AC to the headlamp via the L/H switch cluster. Does that help? Are you a member of the MRC? If so you can join the...
