Re: How are the broken swing arms?

I went into this subject in 2016-17 in some depth with the factory and they claimed that the issue was exaggerated and misleading, the issue is known by them but not thought to be significant to recall, that was as far as I could get. Personally I was a little worried for a while thinking about it, ...

Re: moto Amore/Moto Hub

Hi redS This bike I am riding now had a remap at BSD in 2013, but engine running faults etc meant trying out the boys at Motohub, I think 117 hp at the back wheel is very good, I think mine must have corsaro heads to get 127, certainly does not make any sense, and quite frankly I don’t care, 100 hp ...

Re: Back in the saddle

Hi Chris Thanks for you input, it’s very easy to forget after all this tech stuff that it’s all about getting out and riding. I rode my first Morini in 1979 it was a sport with wire wheels from Harglo my second a 500 sport 1982, before moving onto guzzis , Ducati’s and the odd laverda, of which I st...

Re: Forks

Hi
Did you find once fitted, they where much more sensitive to road imperfections and generally gave a more softer but controlled ride, compared to the originals..

Thanks painter

My previous GP still for sale at SRt was very heavy on fuel , I just lived with it, I have read of many people downloading maps at home in the hope of improving the performanc...

Re: Back in the saddle

Yes thanks I hope so, they have a Good reputation and have done 5 other Morini’s, when I spoke with them they where very confident about sorting it out. I have decided to do a decat on the collector before I go, to maximise my remapping investment, so fingers crossed. How are you getting on with you...
