Firstly hello all on here its my first post.
Been after one for ages here in Blighty and after a look on Ebay i won one for 700 quid. Its a runner, has an 930 Amal carb and started after 7 kicks after being stood for a year. I need a hand with a few things so any info from you lot would be greatly appreciated. I have no idea how much oil n grease to put where in what quantities. I need a wiring diagram that is simple as my Bullet has been played with in the electrics department, it has had the indicators removed, the  switch gear has been removed and the horn is operated by one of those chrome old style British ones. Headlight is still operated by the switch on the headlight housing (but flickers and gives you a belt when you use it :o).
Thanks

Big+1 to this.


Hello bullhead congrats on your Bullet and welcome aboard.

 There are a few different wiring diagrams posted in various threads here. One of them is bound to appeal to you.


No matter where you go, there, you are.

There are wiring diagrams in the Snidal manual that I purchased here:

And a downloadable PDF version, though I don't know how it's legal to have copyrighted material like this.

Thanks for all the replies and info. Out of all the bikes and scooters  ive owned for some reason this one has made me smile the most.
 Don't know what way I am going with it yet as in styling etc. My first mission is to rewire it  and get it ready for our lovely English winters. Hopefully this "Summer" will last a few weeks more and it will be sorted we have had about a month of good weather which some locals cant cope with mentally ( i see some still throwing stones at the great ball in the sky)
Ride safe fellow Bulleteers
