They fixed my broken tacho and refurbished it so it looked like new, charged abot £90.

Re: Front Tyre

My Scrambler suffered this problem on the rear wheel, took it to 3X and they fitted an inner tube. I have stuck with the std tyre on the Scrambler which is Michelin Anakee 2 and being aimed at the so called 'adventure bikes' which mostly have spoked wheels it is recommended for both tubed & tube...

Re: Tappet Clearances

Hello Strada Stu, Sounds like you may have adjusted them at TDC on the wrong stroke.... As the camshaft rotates at half the speed of the crank, the TDC mark on the flywheel corresponds to the piston being TDC on both the compression stroke and the exhaust stroke. The tappets must be set at TDC on th...

Re: Brand New Scrambler - Help!

Hello Musclemoto, Congratulations on your Scrambler, that 6 month wait must have been tiresome. I have one too and it's exceeded all my expectations... In answer to your questions: 1.

Re: Steering lock

Hi Monstyr, I was in exactly the same dilemma with my 500 and followed the details given in that link and successfully removed my steering lock. I bought a replacement on ebay from Germany.

Re: Tea and Cakes?

I thoroughly enjoyed the tea & cakes afternoon, and was extremely chuffed with the prize for Best Off Roader awarded to my 1200 Scrambler, though I'm a little embarrassed given that the competition was a one horse race... So thanks to every one who voted and it was great to meat so many Morini r...
