Hi, do you have any straight 500 rears available? Cosmetic condition immaterial as I need to get the front refurbished anyway. There's one on eBay currently, relisted as it didn't sell the first time https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/135662825158 PS: The seller also has a 250/125 rear wheel available http...

Thank you for the information about the Italian Club's 36th Morini Day (weekend). I've looked on https://www.morinispecial.it/ and can see the same information, how can people register for this please?

A quick update from me and my Wallaby/Joey project... I bought a couple of incomplete Honda XR125L's at a local auction house. Their front forks are 31mm diameter - slightly thinner than the 31.75mm (1 1/4") ones fitted to the 250 2C. They have more travel, roughly 6" and a 19" spoked...

Hi, how did the roller work out? I’ve been trying to fathom out what a noise on my bike was - suspect it’s the original looking chain wheel - seems pretty loose fitting so not sure the spacers are fitted. Thought I would check before I started ordering bits from Italy! Thanks, Simon The new bearing...

I have a complete X2 exhaust. The downpipes are somewhat corroded, but functional, the silencers are stainless steel.

I've recently fitted an X2's petrol tank on my Kanguro X. I did this to reduce the risk of running out of petrol on the MCC long distance trials that include riding through the night and day as I ran out on the Lands End Challenge in Easter 2024 because one of the petrol stations on the route map wa...

May have missed a Kanguroo? No, Julian was in a different class (he's often said that!) so didn't do worst hills. The maniac did ride there and back home afterwards though! Yes, I was riding in Class O which is aimed at newcomers to the full set of off-road sections or those with sensitive vehicles...

Tom, they look lairy tyres. I've found the MT43 to be a good all-rounder tyre. For the Exeter I reduced the pressure in the rear from 1.9 bar to the manual's 1.5 bar. This made the bike a bit squirmy above 80 kph (50 mph) on the road. When I ran it with the higher pressure it was well behaved from a...

We were either well prepared or lucky as all 4 Moto Morinis finished, a 100% success rate, unlike the field in general. In my class (Class 0) there were 8 riders listed, of these only 3 started and one retired leaving me and a Lexmoto 125/150 as the two who finished. I might add that there were more...

I can comment on: 3) the flowerpots in the airfilter - I have them in my Kanguro X and think they work well; and 4) the rear tyre - I’m using an MT43 and previously had a slightly larger than standard IRC rear tyre I was given. Neither rubbed and I wouldn’t expect or want them to. My BP7ES plugs are...

A good friend and MRC member asked me about my experiences with the chain idler I'd bought from Italy earlier this year https://www.morinispecial.it/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=177:accessori-gini-eng&catid=79:gini#google_vignette My experiences might be useful to other r...

My 350 has a standard airbox and runs well- for the 17 years I have owned it. My 501 had a stripped out airbox and it wasn’t until I acquired all the airbox internals that the stuttering at about 1/2 throttle and cutting out when closing the throttle was almost completely eliminated. Nevertheless I...

I've also signed up in the gentler O Class on my Kanguro X (at least I hope it's gentler).

I enjoyed the R class on the Kanguro for the Lands End Trial in Easter and as the navigator with Jem, another club member, in his Morgan car for the Edinburgh.

On my current New York 501 I fitted a 43T rear sprocket, £19.99 including postage from A W Motorcycle Parts https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392864019429 It suits the way I've been riding the bike - mainly A and B roads including longish rides of up to 150 miles ish. I'll have the previous rear sprocket s...

Well I am busy with 3D scanning all special parts of my morini's ( 250 2c 350 500 and corsaro ) so that i can print them and use the print for aluminum casting. as soon as i have printed and scanned the instrument panel for mounting the rev counter and speedo i will post a photo of the aluminum cas...
