You can easily unscrew the clutch basket to separate it from the primary drive gear, thus exposing the oil seal for easy access.

Thanks for the feedback. In fact, I have already removed the old seal externally without removing the clutch casing, but having replaced it, it still leaks. The question is, is it technically possible to replace this seal without removing the clutch casing? I'm interested to know if anyone has succe...

Thanks Mickey, yes I do mean the large clutch seal. I was hoping to change it without removing the entire clutch casing, not sure now whether this is possible?

Hi, I hope some of you can please help here. I recently fitted a new clutch casing, using Paul Compton's excellent YouTube videos as a guide. I don't have a 'sleeve' to help fit the main clutch oil seal, so I just used plenty of silicone grease instead. Result, oil leakage from behind the clutch (I ...

Hi all, just a quick note to advise that it's quite easy to add a front brake light switch unobtrusively. Goodridge supply a neat hydraulic switch in stainless steel, that fits tidily onto the splitter on the bottom fork yoke. I fitted one recently, at the same time as changing the brake fluid. Not ...

Thanks all for your much valued feedback. My problem is now solved - all along it was the clutch slipping when trying to kickstart (but never a problem when you bumped her off...) I'd had a cracked oil gallery in the clutch casing previously, and though I'd replaced the casing, the clutch had been t...

Thanks John, always good to check the basics.

Thanks Ian, yes indeed she is a 5 speed. I was reaching a similar 'clutch issue' conclusion myself, but it's good to hear it from someone else with experience! I'll strip the clutch, give her a clean and play around with the shims.

Agreed Tom. I feel fairly sure that the problem lies with clutch adjustment (shims) but the clutch actually works fine, once on the move. The main issue is still that the kickstart won't turn over the engine, after it has been standing overnight.

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone can please help with this issue? I've just completed a total restoration of my 1979 500, including an engine rebuild. The problem is when trying to kickstart after she has been standing overnight (or even just for a few hours!), the kickstart feels like there is a 're...

Thanks Steve, very much appreciated, I'll contact you.

Thanks Mark, I did try Tim Ralph but he's short of clutch plates at the moment. The search continues!

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has a spare clutch holding tool for a 500 for sale please? I'm located near Northwich, UK. Thanks for any response

I did order a pair of silencers from Keihan following the disappointment with the Armours items. The Keihan service was very good and quality much better than Armours. However, the silencers they sent me were shorter in length and marginally smaller in diameter than my originals. They just didn't lo...

Thanks Robin, that's really useful and much appreciated. I've also found this after digging around, which will be most helpful: "Installing Elekronik Sasche MHP Digital Ignition in 500W - MRC Forum- brought to you by www.morini-riders-club.com" http://www.morini-riders-club.com/forum/viewt...
