Top end cutting out

My Strada faltering and power dying away when ridden hard, esp going up hills. Ok if back off and then give it another go but then same thing happens. Thought it may be fuel supply as there was a bit of crud in the float chambers so cleaned tank and fitted new taps. Carbs balanced and new gasket kit...

Re: Compression

Thanks re PSI suggestions. Not sure I get the throttle open bit as surely this is just done kicking it over?

Re: The right helmet for a Strada

Got a nice and simple Arai in the end. Not quite the classic look of the AGV heritage but very comfy!

The right helmet for a Strada

I am looking for a new crash helmet but one with the right look for a 70s Strada. Probably full face really. All the ones I have tried seem a bit predator style, or a bit fat bob Harley, or just huge. Don’t think I have a big head but the shells seem massive. Any thoughts?

Re: Indicator lights short circuit

Chased it down to a dodgy connection between battery and earth point on the frame. Once sorted all better. Although I notice a very slight (really slight) dimming of the headlight bulb when flashers working. Thanks for the comments though.

Re: Indicator lights short circuit

Thanks for replies. Will give the disconnections a try. Interestingly flashes faster and dims all the lights faster when headlamp is on as opposed to just sidelight. So possibly the switch. Anyway, here we go.....

Indicator lights short circuit

When indicators on they have started flashing fast and when the lights are on head and tail lamp dim in time with flashers. Seem to have short somewhere but can’t find where. Any pearls of wisdom?

Speedo cable guide

Does anyone have a spare cable guide for a Strada 3 1/2, the type that bolts on under the bottom fork yoke rather than the clip round the fork dust cover? Thanks
