Hi just got over 100 miles on the bike from the recommisioning. I set the carbs up and it ticks over very well. I used gauges to set the throttle balancing coming off idle but im getting rough running coming on and off idle posision. Also getting 8 stroking at low throttle when bimbling through town...

Gents thanks for all the replies. Yes the foot peg placement is an actual pain. Also the kickstart lever on my bike is permanently stuck out not foldable like a normal bike.
Does anyone know where I can get a replacement aftermarket foldable kickstart that will fit .

Hi . I did think about a conversion to normal bars or swan neck clip ons but I dont want to spend a lot more money and find its still not for me. I am booked into a classic vehicle event on the 23rd with the bike so no great rush to decide yet

Hi. I spent this winter doing up a 500 sport as you can see on the projects page etc on the forum. I have spent about £1500 on getting it running. It runs beautifully and I did my first 50 mile run without a hitch. Everything works well and it starts first press of the starter and pulls really stron...

Hi. I have got a saches ignition fitted to my 500 sport. Its default setting is 5 on the mapping rotary switch but it feels a bit harsh to me, but as a first time owner I dont know any different. Has anyone played with the 9 different map possibilities. I have just set mine to map 4 which has a gent...

Hi I have just finished getting a 1981 500 sport back on the road. I bought it off ebay as non runner. With it came some old parts in a box. These had obviously come of the bike at some point. The stator block is damaged but the coil formers and possibly some of the coils are OK. Useful if you are l...

Had my first ever ride on a moto morini today. Up till now its been a love of the look. Did my first shakedown run locally. At first couldnt get any gear above 1st. Stopped and ran through the gears stationary with engine off a few times. Started up and then got all the gears OK. Need to adjust the ...

Have you tried mdinaitalia? would this fit https://www.mdinaitalia.co.uk/front-brake-disc-260.html

Hi. Well 99% finished. Just got to check the tank valves especially the electric one. I also need to plumb the carbs to the tank with clear fuel pipe. I have kept tank empty while checking fit on the frame and been using temp supply to the carbs for testing. Engine runs and ticks over great. All the...

Hi I have sorted the issue. For future reference it was one of the copper/brass rivets that connect a bus bar between some brushes had broken on the underside of the brush plate. So banging on the side cover montarily made a connection until it wen no further. Replaced the rivet with an m3 screw and...

Hi. Watched the paul compton videos on the starter system. Stripped and cleaned the motor etc and the motor ran well on the bench. Asembled everything and got about 8 engine starts and then nothing. I suspected a stuck brush as it would work a couple of times if I hit the casing with rubber mallet. ...

Hi. I only have one ignition key at the moment. I'm looking to get a copy cut. Will Timpsons be able to do it or do I need to source a blank key first?
