Mike, I'd like both the manual petrol taps, the exhaust collets, and the twist grip please. And if you find yourself with some of the bits unsold I'll find a home for them. Please let me know what you'd like for them (since the orange bodywork is no longer available I can't offer for them no matter ...

Thank you for posting your updates here. I'm following on behind with a recently acquired 125 H based bike (seemingly called the 125 T which is also a model name for a decades earlier model). I had one fork leg seized solid and used ZX1 lubricant to help me free up the fork leg cap bolt and then the...

Leonard,
Thank you for the detailed resolution and for the contact details which will help others in future.
What's left for you to do before you can ride your 125 reliably?

Julian

Leonard,
what excellent news, I'm so pleased for you. I hope we'll meet on our respective 125's soon (mine needs rebuilding after being dismantled by the previous owner and then registering in the UK, etc).

All i have scanned the pages and will ask |tom to see if he can put it in the library files section. Regqards Rick Rick, I also have admin access to the forum and website so you can email them to me julianharty@gmail.com and I'll see if I can upload them and then add a link, AFAIK the contents woul...

Some suggestions: If you've not yet read the Dutch club's forum there's a similar unresolved problem there https://www.motomoriniclub.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=956 I've just bought what's probably a 125T in pieces. Perhaps we could use it to help diagnose the cause(s) of the issues you've fo...

This is a great find. Which issue is it? and would you be up for sending higher quality photos / scans of the pages by email to me please?

R&R or similar cheapy types I think. FWIW I agree with Steve here, from the pressed in markings at the bottom of these rear shocks and from the photo generally they look to be relatively basic units. I'd guess a price of £40 to £60 might suit them if someone's looking for them and if the damper...

Mike, I have been wondering about buying your bike just so I can get the paintwork! :) I could then sell it with my current petrol tank and side panels painted the default red and black... I'm not sure I'd be forgiven for buying yet another morini and I'd probably find it hard to actually sell it......

Mike, you Sport is one of my favourites, especially with those colours and paint scheme. Sadly I can't justify buying it as I've a similar, slightly tattier 400cc Sport from 1978. Good luck with finding a new home for it and if the new owner wants to repaint it then please let me know as I'd be keen...

Good for you, what are your plans for it in terms of the project? and when will you be riding it on the road? (days/weeks/months/years?)
All the best in your endeavours.

Heated gloves are also an option, especially if you've several motorbikes available to ride. Some even have battery packs which means you can per-charge them before your ride and then not worry about depleting your motorbike battery. I have a set of Gerbing XRL gloves with the optional 2Ah battery p...

Kamel,
That's wonderful, I've never seen anything like this cover before. I've ordered one and will then see if I can work out how to remove my current cover without damaging it (knowing I've a replacement if needed).
Julian

Mike, thanks for the tip. AFAIK the oil seal should be fine, but it'll be worth investigating again if I find the oil pressure drops when I ride the bike with hot engine oil. FYI the engine was rebuilt by Benjy and I've ridden it for about 3000 miles post rebuild. He replaced the crankshaft, the mai...

Matt, I had a similar behaviour on my Kanguro X, but not as extreme as you've had. Mine would eventually 'clear' and rev out particularly if I let it build the revs gently. The exhaust was very sooty, and so on. And if I rode it at slow speed for a while (as I had to at an event in late June then th...
