Thanks for the reply, unless there’s going to be other replies with suggestions I agree with you and being British without the uncertainty of import duties etc it’s a no-brainer. I was a little confused about the diameter at the ports but I know my bike has collets so it’ll be the 32mm set, strange ...

Evening all I’ve noticed some rotting on one downpipe and my near side heat shield threads are stripped so I’m considering a new set of stainless. I’ve seen the Armour products and they look fine, are there others I should consider and how many gaskets need replacing (if that’s not too obvious!)? TI...

Thanks both, good to know, I’ll check ‘em occasionally then..

Evening all Had my 1980 Strada a year now and very much enjoy it. The chap I bought it from had clearly spent good money on the mechanical side and the labyrinths are in place. I want to respect the correct servicing criteria so how often should these be changed and are there any visual prompts I sh...

Morning!
Further to my original post I found a rack on eBay taken off a Strada. However the very helpful chap sent me a photo of the donor bike and it’s the later K variant so won’t fit. However here’s the number if anyone else wants to have a look 165621096010

Thanks Mark, yes, pre-K2 as you describe, I’ll keep looking, no urgency, the 400/4 info maybe opens another door

Hello All
I think I might fancy a luggage rack and I have seen Stradas with them on. Could anyone point me to where I might be able to get a specific one, or are they adapted from something else/universal? Would prefer black but if chrome would have it powder coated. TIA

A belated thank Thanks

Brilliant advice thank you! I’ve used copper grease and all seems good, little tide out tomorrow to check, to bloated today to bother riding

Thank you as ever for the warm assistance-however I I’ve found the other half nestling where the rear brake cable and rear brake pedal meet! Now to reassembly and then getting taken out for dinner!

Good morning everyone and happy Father’s Day where applicable! After a spirited tide on my 1980 Strada through the strines, Ladybower and other parts of the Peak District I felt her running slightly louder, put her away, went to kick her up the day after and saw the rear exhaust nut almost fully wou...

Just an update I performed adjustments to the mixture and throttle screws and I must say it’s running much cleaner and ticking over very evenly when warm. My (professional) mechanic mate is going to do the timing and balancing of carbs but for now I’m riding a nicer Strada, thanks all!

Thanks Mickey, noted!

Thanks John I’ll check these, the chokes certainly do each close off, I know the previous owner totally rebuilt the carbs, I’ve got the bills! He also fitted the Venhill cables and whilst the action really is silky smooth I guess that doesn’t mean they don’t need checking! I’ll have a go over the we...

Evening! Took the plugs out of my 1980 Strada and it’s clear it’s running rich. I’ve established the stock setting for the mixture screws are screwed in then 1 1/2 turns out. I’m going to miss the Queen’s party to attend to this, my question is do I have the engine running and/or warm when I underta...
