Re: Where to find 3 1/2 Ignition Coil Formers ?

I got a bobbin from Paul Compton a couple of years ago- he had some made. Maybe there are some left?

Re: Winter riding vs. Winterisation

2 days ago it was just nippy enough to chivvy up my tree dahlias and remaining tomatoes. Today 14 degrees and warm enough not to need a fleece under my coat. Had a nice ride too. Softy southerner alert! I never just run a bike to warm it up though, no matter how tempting that may be. I would drain t...

Re: Kick start lever set up

I make a reference line on the case, same idea with foot controls and an arrow scored inside oil filter cover. No brain required!

Re: Meet the new bike, same as the old bike.

Good to hear you are making progress. My K1 and the other two are confined to barracks as it is the rainy season Fortunately I live on a hill.

Battery replacement

Blessed as I am with an under tank battery on a Coguaro, I am gradually losing cold cranking power. The battery has been in situ since 2020. The existing lump is a Motobatt MB18U. My other bikes have Xtreme XR 600 which work well. The latter are about 3mm taller, Motobatt is 162mm and the Xtreme is ...

Re: Good news?

For a few years the Path Lab chapter have attended Motorcycle Live at the NEC. We cannot get enough of blaring noise and largely uninteresting and expensive motorcycles.
Each year I say Moto Morini ought to be here. I have given up.There’s always the Bantam…..

Re: Re Torque or not?

I mark the exhaust nuts and head with a fine line so it is quick to check for movement.

Re: New Strada owner - hello & a switchgear question

If you turn the wavy plate so the pin aligns with a hole on the case it can be extracted. Pulling off this plate allows a pair of ballbearings to fall out. I caught them.

Re: Snap, and then i was taught some patience

Been there, the wrong side of a dozen sets of lights. I’d probably get a new one from Venhill in the first instance. They do sell the component parts if you fancy a bash at making your own. You do need to make a birdcage at the cable end. I made something suitable by drilling down a pair of angle st...
