You should be fine with a non morini belt on a B pulley as these are closest to nominal and so are B pulleys.

There was a club run advertised to the National Motorcycle museum near Birmingham on Sunday 1st October, Unfortunatly the organiser is laid up with a Kidney stone so if you do still wish to go you will have to make your own arrangements.

And my Renault Scenic Diesel. I think it must also be one of these "surprise and delight" things.

There are also mutterings in MCN about the new Aprilia 750 twin as a mini Tuono?, not sure if this is a bored out spin off of the 450/550 twin or a sleeved RSV motor, or an all new one, but they say that it is to compete with the 620 Monster which has massive sales. Might this push Morini into hurry...

Before I take off the old one I always mark the edge of the original belt and both pulleys with tippex or similar so I can rea...

Yes absolutely, and that was also the advice of "The guru" Phil Smith who claimed that regularly used bikes could go for years and thousands of miles without belt changes.

New Products Secretary now in post, please expect imminent announcement on this very subject as I sorted through a mound of stuff with him yesterday, including Tank and 3 1/2 badges.

12v for a 250 and a Kanguro X or X2 is a different matter ( I think) as the Kanguro runs a direct 12v headlight whereas all the 250 is 6v. Best thing to do with a Kanguro X or X2 (X3s are 12V) or Camel Mk1/2 is to rewire to standard roadbike type wiring, but a 250 just needs a regulator( I think). I...

Many thanks to all those who attended both the track day and the AGM. I would especially like to thank Peter and Sander for making the journey as first timers, and providing most of us with our first view of the new bikes on the road, and on the track. I can only hope that you enjojed yourselves as ...
