Hello Folks,
My 1982 K Strada is standard bore, but the ring gap is out of tolerance, about .025", more on the oil control ring. Bores are within tolerance.
The only std rings I can find are in Greece, and are for a K2, which I understand is Nikasil bore?. I know it's not recommended to use hard ...

It's been a while since I stripped my carbs, but I seem to remember it's possible to put the slide in the wrong way round?, it will start, but it will ruin extremely rich. Or am I thinking of another bike?

Hello folks,
Is there a direct replacement for a K2 regulator number 343152 12v 9309.
Mdina don't have one.
Does anyone have one they might part with?.
Thanks,
Alan.

Thanks for the replies folks,
Andy, I'm lucky enough to have two sports, a 77 and a 79, the 79 has a completely stock engine, including cam, and the 77 is 402cc with an NLM grind cam, which I am led to believe is an L5?, it also has a Powerdynamo ignition system, so although it goes VERY well and is ...

Hello Folks,
OK, my K1 Strada engine is going to be stripped, way too much play in the output sprocket.
I haver a spare sport cam which I could fit, but as I've never ridden the bike, I have no idea what the power characteristics are.
I like torque rather than top end urge, and I have a sport with a ...

Thanks for the reply Ian.
I have hopefully found 2 NOS ones in Germany, they should been their way soon.
Is that red K1 fuel tank still around?, if so, what nick is it in?.
Alan.

Looks like I may have sourced a NOS pair in Germany, they should be winging their way here soon.

Hello Folks,
I'm looking for a straight pair of Marzocchi stanchions, 605 long, 1.5 pitch on the top thread. To fit a 1982 K1 Strada.
Thanks,
Alan.

Hello Ian,
Would you have a useable pair of Marzocchi stanchions for a Strada K1?. 605 long, 1.5mm pitch threads at the top nut.
Thanks,
Alan.

Hello folks,
As above, are they available new for a 350 ?, does anyone make them?, Mdina?, can't see it on their web site.
I thought I might replace them on all my bikes as one especially has a clutch switch instead of a progressive take up!. End float etc is all spot on. I should say that ...

Ha!, perhaps, people do get carried away at auction sometimes!. Mind you, bikes are very cheap just now, across the board from what I've seen, definitely a buyers market. Doesn't bother me, I have my bikes because I like them!, lets remember "sell" is a four letter word!!!, or at least that's what I ...

Does it still have one?, a good question, I don't know.
The solenoid you can see in the picture, and it's connected on both terminals, with the bottom one going into the casing, so probably, wouldn't be too clever having a loose wire in there, although anything is possible.
It's the Iconic ...

Hello Folks,
I have a pal who is thinking of bidding on a 500, his question to me was "do all 500's have an electric start from the factory?", my answer was yes!, am I correct?
Thanks,
Alan.

How interesting Ian, I've never heard of that before.
It just so happens I have a pair of MZ rubber tubes in the garage somewhere, hhhmmm, something for the future.
Both my Sports are anything but hard on the chains though, but as I'm a Guzzisti too (sorry, I hope I won't be burnt at the stake?), I ...

Hello folks,
I was browsing the web looking for a photo of a blue K1 Strada when I came across this picture of a K2 with a fully enclosed chain at auction, has anyone heard of this mod before?, it looks quite professional.
