MRC Forum- brought to you by www.morini-riders-club.com

Hello all, this is most likely my last post as I no longer have a Morini and haven’t renewed.
I’ve enjoyed my 20 odd years of ownership of various models - Kanguros the most - but time and aching bones have won.
To quote from Douglas Adams HHGTG, ”So long, and thanks for all the fish”.

Bonne route!

My Morinis are gone.
I’m left with a Yamaha YBR250. Honde Pantheon 125 and a BSA Bantam D3 Major...

As I’ve said many times before, its not difficult to diy. The hardest part is finding a coil former. Now 3D printing is becoming more easily available even that should diminish. These are old bikes, supposedly we are enthusiasts, prepared to do a bit moer than expect off the shelf spares.

Points and condensers are simple though and if necessary probably a roadside repair. IINBDFI

I may have one. Is it for the large diameter shield (the casting with the ’beak’) or the smaller?

Gosh - you must have bought a right old dog judging from the problems you are having! In my experience with a Strada, several Kanguros and a 2C2, an electric starter is nothing but extra weight. The bikes should start easily enough on the kick start - if everything else is right. You seem to have a ...

I’m glad you appear to have overcome one of the seemingly numerous problems you have found on the 40 odd year old, unknown number of PO bike you bought. Please remember that many of your fellow forum members run / have run one or more Moto Morinis using that same ”crappy” ignition coil and ignition ...

I’ve got sidestand, footrests and rear axle. Was thinking of building one...

No, Owners Manual and Parts Book.

I have the owners manual and parts book if anyone wants a copy.

Re using smaller diameter, self fluxing wire I agree. I think I may have mentioned it towards the end of the article. Whatever, it worked fine. A few 3D printed formers (not a common technology back then) would be no problem for some of our more up to date members, I think. I still have the grinder...

Look on thr Dutch Morini site for a diy coil rewind. Not difficult, a bit tedious, I doubt the old coil former is salvageable.

Hi, I have a Puig flyscreen fitted to a little Yamaha 250 which I find effective. The Yam headlight is 18cm OD, the screen 22cm at the mount points. It fits via the two headlamp mounting bolts. It's easy to fit, but be careful to ensure all mounting holes (for reinforcing plates and headlamp) are fr...

I've just been assisting an old friend who has changed his UK licence for a French one. It turns out that the famous Withdrawal Agreement, supposedly delivering for the UK, forgot to look at the small print, one of the results being that certain licence categories are now not transferable. So my bik...

If it’s the ignition coil that needs rewinding, you can do it yourself fairly easily. Basically using some fine copper wire and patience. Have a look on the Dutch Morini Site for full details.
