Re: Regulator/rectifier replacement

Don't worry Steve, no harm done so far :D

Norbert, could you give moe info on this "bodyless" alternator ? Do you know on which particular model it was installed ? And how would one recognise it ?

Re: Regulator/rectifier replacement

Evening Steve and thank you for taking the time to reply. Just want to make sure, since you are talking about two phase and I am not the most competent electrician around, the stator for the 500 is a single phase one, right ? Hence the two yellow wires ? Also, how would you tell the wattage on a reg...

Regulator/rectifier replacement

Hello, I have been searching the forum regarding the best option to replace the reg/rec on my 500 and am still not sure what's the best option as most threads are not closed. I currently have a Ducati 344212 on mine (already installed when I bought the bike), and it's not performing well. My stator ...

Re: 500 Left side main bearing

Good evening gents,

I am curious to know if this modified bearing by Mdina is actually working as a replacement for the elusive 24.01.11 bearing or if it should not be purchased ?

Cheers,

Re: 500 sport sei-v (1982)

Good to know regarding the mechanical tacho, I was not sure! And yes, I am pretty sure they come from an Excalibur (how did they come up with this name btw :D?). I have to agree, I prefer the « tourist » riding position even though the Sport is fun for short rides. I do have a Strada top yoke though...

500 sport sei-v (1982)

Hi everyone, I am selling a 1982 500 sport sei-v that is currently in France (Paris) but has English papers (registered as a historic vehicle). It comes from Spain (Cataluña) and I have pretty much no info on its long life, sorry. I am selling as I have a small garage and need room for another proje...

Re: Starter gearbox.

Hi there, I am in a similar situation as you, 3potjohn, as the filler plug is leaking on my starter. Did you find a solution by any chance? Also, is there a way to fix slippery starter clutch shoes? I am trying to avoid having to buy new ones. I attach a picture of the shoes, so you can tell me if t...

Re: 350 Strada seat on a 500

Thank you for the reply Norbert, of course, I typed to fast… should have remembered that the 350 seat has the two knobs at the back and fits into the two metal sticks at the front…

350 Strada seat on a 500

Morning everyone,

I was wondering, and of course I don’t have any handy to check myself, wether a 350 Strada seat is plug and play on a 500 Strada frame ? Or is it too narrow and short ?

Cheers,

Re: 500 Frame with papers wanted

Evening all, I am Ian’s French friend. French administration is very very annoying on this. I have tried everything with this bike but without a proper registration paper from the previous owner, which I do not have unfortunately, they refuse to register the bike in my name. All your suggestions hav...
