Thanks guys. I will have a look at bending the float arms. They don't have to move much - about 4mm.

I wonder if that is enough to worry about?

Hi All,
I have my carbies apart and am checking the floats for the correct adjustment. Have found the info on how to measure the heigths and mine are at about 22mm instead of 18mm.

My question is which bit of the float arm do I actually bend to bring the height back to 18mm? The Dellorto tuning ...

Hi Blab,
I have fitted one of these units to my 500 Sport Desmo. Works like a charm once I have the plate that replaces the points plate aligned properly as per the instructions - was pretty fiddly.

Hi All,

I must admit I was hoping not to disturb the barrels if I ...

Not the most powerful bike I have ridden but lots of fun.

Now need to fix a bad ...

Hi All,
Can anyone help with a wiring diagram for the 77 Sport Desmo version of the 500 parallel twin? This one is an Australian complianced bike.

I have a copy of the one on this site but the more I try to make sense of it the more I realise that Steve's diagram is different. Mainly wire colours ...

Hi All,
Have been lurking for some time but have just made another purchase and will be needing some help and parts for sure.

Current bikes are an 85 Mille MHR and the new baby a 77 500 Sport Desmo. I know, not a bevel but it is a desmo and looks like a Darmah! Needs a fair bit of work and has been ...
