Re: Morin is for sale on facebook
Blimey, I'd break them and sell the parts and bin the rest!

Re: new to morini
Mine has indicators, lights on and main beam.
I think the ignition on light was on earlier models.

Re: Clutch woes
What oil is inside?
Has to be JASO MA standard for a wet clutch

Re: new to morini
A picture would be good. You need to reduce the photo size to quite small. I use a jpeg reduction website. You can then attach a photo. My 81 Strada has an electronic tacho, no neutral or oil lights, chromed plastic indicators. Others have black indicators, mechanical tachos etc. Just enjoy the ride.

Re: 500 electronic ignition
Legs of Popeye and spinach every day? Do you stir fry them and serve with a sauce? I'll get some photos and me coat The first photo shows the circuit board and the rotor at TDC (approx) on Cylinder 1. It is timed to the trailing edge of the cutout on the compression stroke. The second shows the coil...

Re: 500 electronic ignition
I managed to kick start the bike first kick, even in my parlous state. The only kick back was when i turned on the ignition and the plugs sparked and it burnt off the remaining fuel in one of the cylinders, but not a huge kick back. The board has a red light which is on when the cut out is in the wa...

Re: 500 electronic ignition
It'll be a while yet, I am recovering from a tendon operation and can't get my foot on the foot peg, although things are improving. Steve, I agree with the rotor problem. It would be better to use the existing key on the cam and slot the circuit board. The ease of getting the timing correct (set pms...

Re: 500 electronic ignition
Sounds reasonable. I changed as I was having problems and decided the stator need a rewind. Looking at the cost (if I could find anybody to do it anyway) I thought I might as well buy a new system as usually with the Law of Sod once one things breaks other components will follow. Anyway, if I am hap...

Re: 500 electronic ignition
Some great information , one thing to consider is to fit a relay to negate the old wiring and use the old coil wire to trigger the relay then you will get the full 12V feed coil_diagram.jpg This is my next project after I have road tested the bike. I only have 0.1 volts drop from battery to coils a...

Re: 500 electronic ignition
I've just fitted an SWF ignition on my 250 2C and I'm beyond happy with it! Easy to fit, easy to adjust and the bike is transformed, pulling much better throughout the rev range. All the original wiring is still on the bike, if I wanted to go back, but I can't think of any reason I would. The kit c...

Re: 500 electronic ignition
Rick, I have just installed an SWF system on a Strada. I managed to wire the +12 volts via the kill switch, using the original wiring in case I decide to fit the original system. It is a simple kit. A bit of a fiddle to fit the rotor, but easy to set the timing. Once fitted, the bike started on firs...

Re: And still, I remain confused...
Fuel remaining at reserve is not a good indicator of range. How much can be used? The tank may not run dry before the fuel stops flowing. Also, do you really want to drain the bottom of the tank, it is probably full of crud which will block the filters on the taps and the carbs and some will find it...

Re: Lighting circuit problem
What is the wattage of the headlight? The alternator chucks out about 140W at high revs. Brake light and two indicators are +/- 60 Watts. Add in your headlight and tail light and what is left has to charge the battery. Run at slower speeds, the output drops. My BMW has a voltage of 14volts with no l...
