Dear all, Since last week the I am having difficulty shifting to 1st gear from neutral. This is 5 speed gear box. 1. First few times the gear changes are...
Have you noticed that the cam "lobe" is really not a lobe at all? Look closely and you will see that the rotating device that opens and closes the points is in...
If the sprag clutch would come out of the case then dismantling it should be no problem. But there seems to be no room to get the assembly out of the inner...

Hi Rick, Oh yeah. The circlip should be only one piece. It seems you have two options: Buy the complete gear, or with a Dremel fitted with a cut disc,...
oh, just a wee bit Al, just a wee bit. that said, without the information gleaned from this forum over the past 10 years, i would have given up on the bike...
Pete is correct as always, you have to take off the complete left side. I did it this weekend and was not very difficult. Opening the main bolt on the clutch...
Hi Al Does the Bullet really have a 90 degree dwell angle? I have not really looked at it. Remember the points setting affect dwell also. But to answer your...

Hello, I have an 06 ES 5-speed iron barrel with almost 4,000 miles on it. I recently tried to convert to a 18t sprocket, right afterward the bike started...

Gang, I had a fabulous ride on dirt forest roads and mountain backroads (some paved, some not) of the VA Blue Ridge mountains yesterday, in the area north and...
- Jeri and Charles your points are well made. In thinking about the cam configuration, I suspect the cam's "lobe" shape (it's not a lobe at all) results from...
I don't know if anyone can help me out, maybe the moderator. Every time I try to 'visit your group' I'm asked to join the group again I've done this 3 times...

... Absolutely! How's my bikes brother doing? In an effort to keep my 99 going as long as possible I bought a new G5 to take some of the load of the 99. I'll...
hi satish, check clutch if its not free while operating it can create problem in gears secondly check nut of main clutch shaft kick side after opening outer...
I thought of something else that could be related. Sometimes when kicking it around to get to the compression stroke, it slips. It is moving smoothly, then...
... Just a wild guess, but since a V8 engine uses an 8-lobe cam, I think that the RE flat spot is likely providing about the proper dwell to saturate the coil,...
... What happens if you delay less between pulling in clutch lever and pushing gear lever? ie, if you don't wait long enough, it would grind a bit going into...
... If the battery voltage is low, the 14.2 V your system seems to be putting out would result in a fairly high current/ammeter reading. If the battery's up...

... The early ES models had a Starter Cutoff Relay, which sensed voltage from the alternator and cut out the start circuit so you wouldn't hit the ES button...

Hi Malcolm--thank you, & pete, who have posted on TDS--I am (slowly) learning my way around the Bullet. You comments are v helpful. When I check tappets warm,...
