Not sure if this is in the right place - subject wise. My dry clutch rattles when loose - normal I guess. It's quite snatchy I see ref to wet and dry clutches on the strada? Can I just add oil to smooth it a bit. Are there softer plates available? Must be loads of info on the forum but hard to find!...

I have an imported Strada - dated 1985, but someone said it cant be a Strada?

Is there a register of numbers to see if I can get the correct date

Finally sawed off the top 5mm of shroud to discover that it had an all encompassing socket surrounding the ball projecting from the mirror. So smashed out the broken mirror and inside is a spring and nylock nut. No idea how you could adjust it without removing the glass.
Ordered new mirrors!

Any advice for good quality panniers for a strada?

I took off the motor. About 1cm thick grease/copper/crud around the brush plate. Thorough clean, skim 2 thou off armature- now starts every time

Thanks Mark My strada was imported from Italy I think, so confused by the dates I need to check serial numbers. Good news it it v good nick ' very little rust anywhere- all original and runs beautifully I have had to move from my favourite old BSA 500 as too heavy. I am old and have a serious health...

Hi
I have a almost original strada. 1985
Simple question - the mirrors on the ends of the storks are moving about - there is a shroud around I assume a nut? as the rubber is old, has it hardened so I cant get it off? could I just warm it up? |Same applies to a broken mirror
thanks

Got a leak on the battery - only .2 amps

I want to find a correct wiring diagram for a 1985 3.5 strada

I think the whole bike is 100% original inc the wiring.

I can see lots on line but which is the right one - with starter

Any ideas

Stuart

Still got the problem -

checked the voltage drop on the battery when cold and then when hot - exaclty the same.

The motor spins fine whether hot and cold.

I can only guess that one electrical component is not working efficiently when hot?

Any ideas?

Stuart

Hi John

its really strange - perfect when cold but nothing when hot. There is the same voltage drop at the battery hot or cold. Motor spins perhaps a bit more slowly

It may be that a coil, or other compenant fails when hot.

I will try and change components one at a time.

I put my issues on the bikes for sale page in error before - Now I need you collective wisdom. To recap the starter on my strada is great when the bike is cold, but a problem when its hot. Cleaned the "sprags" etc and for a day or two its was fine. But no longer. I know that the "spra...

Riding my fabulous 350 strada - only just found it has 6 gears! I have adjusted the footpegs down a bit - tricky on the left - had to put on a jubilee clip to hold the brake pedal down enough, and then had to cut of a bit of the weldedon tag that operates the stop light switch. On the right alls wel...

I want to paint a topbox to match the 350 strada colour - preferably with a spray can.

Is there any standard colour info anywhere - mine is metallic brown 1983. Looks surprisingly good||!

500 morini small.jpg I bought a 500 1979 which is fabulous. I couldn't start it easily. I am quite ill, and had Jim McClean in Bristol fit a new ignition system and rejet and tune up carbs. Now starts easily and goes like a rocket! Too much for and old man! So has to go. Its the dark metallic green...
