Re: Fork Seals

As I wait (clearly not very patiently) for the manual to download, fork oil weight and capacity? 10w and 225ml (came out)

Fork Seals

Hello, I dropped my forks for my 350 Sport K1 to a local shop to get the seals changed. He's no experience with Morini's and is struggling to find replacement oil and dust seals from his normal suppliers. Obviously I can't see the seals (he tells me there are two in one side) but I'm trying to order...

Service and Repair shops

I'm not always able to tackle jobs on my 84 Sport, lack of knowledge (mostly), tools, a working spine (more often than not)and often enthusiasm (especially in winter) Having spoken to some local shops, none were happy to take on anything to do with the bike other than a puncture and fork seals. At s...

Re: Charging or ignition failure.

Thank you. I believe it's standard, and yes, the red warning lamp. Oil was OK before the last ride, but I'll double check, but it could be lose connection behind the clocks so I'll check that before anything else. The wiring wasn't all connected when I bought it, so I may have missed or loosened som...

Charging or ignition failure.

A couple of times on a ride today the ignition light came on under (reasonably hard) acceleration. No drop of in performance, and I didn't notice it at any other times. The battery is always managed on a trickle charger and has never indicated a problem, starter still strong. Any common issues with ...

Warning light bulb holders

I know it was asked a few years back, but has anyone found a source for the warning light bulb holder? 9.5mm or 10mm, twin spade end capless bulb holders. I cannot find the correct diameter anywhere ( before I buy rubber ones with a Pigtail that will do the job with a bit of work)

Exhaust collet/collar tool

Has anyone an exhaust collar spanner they're willing to part with before I order new?

Re: Performance issue

Firstly, great looking bike! I have got a two into one system on mine and K and N filters - and the bike performs pretty good. The only difference is that my bike has the original ignition system on. If all else fails, it may be worth considering trying the old set up - if you still have the parts ...

Re: Performance issue

Thank you all. Didn't think about the sprockets and gearing, I'll have a look. Not sure about the airfilter, I'd be surprised if it was old but might be non stock. Other than sorting a few minor niggles away from how she runs, I've not laid a spanner on it yet.

Re: Welcome new forum members - introduce yourself

I'm Tim, live in Mid Bedfordshire UK, picked up my first Morini in summer, scratching a 40bpkus year itch. She's a non standard 1971 3 1/2 Sport, Valentini exhaust, Marzocchi rear shocks, LSL clip ons and a Vauxhall shade of light blue.

Re: Performance issue

Thanks, I'll start with the jets. The tank has two manual fuel taps, which I'd not seen before.

Performance issue

Morning everyone. First post, be gentle. Picked up my first 3 1/2 Sport, and 81 model, earlier this year. Restored by the previous owner, its not standard, but engine performance wise, that just a Valentini 2 into 1 pipe and NLM ignition. The issue is the performance in the top gears. I appreciate t...
