Are you sure you haven’t fitted the slides back to front? The number of times I’ve seen this is beyond count. It’s easily done as nothing stops the slide or cap being put on the wrong way round. Throttle cable should enter on the engine side of the carb and the cable run from adjuster to slide shoul...

I don’t know anything about that company but I was highly suspicious about the decals they claim to have- the artwork doesn’t look right to me- out of proportion and why the big Cagiva logos? I suspect they have just generated a proof from a photo of a dart. Would be good to be proven wrong on that ...

I’ve sent you a PM with the info you need to obtain a certificate from the club.

When I bought my k sport the badge clip recesses had been filled with body filler by a previous owner but the pinhole leak soon got through that, so I had the tank completely stripped and had the recesses lead loaded before a repaint. I had Alan Fox do my tank restoration and paint. I’m not sure if ...

Are you running a standard exhaust and airbox? These things have a big effect on jetting and even a change in silencers to something similar looking but not fundamentally the same as original will have an influence. However, assuming your bike is as standard, I would be considering the following: 1)...

As mentioned, The OM and DGM numbers are homologation numbers. Your frame number is K24280 and this is all that should appear on the V5. The club can provide a dating certificate for the purposes of DVLA dating and obtaining an age related registration. Dating certificate is free to club members or ...

There is a faulty one on eBay, might be useable for you though?

Also, although the software and screen printing will be Morini specific, the case and hardware is bound to be common to other bikes.

Have a look at BMW G650GS dashboards…

If it’s early ones you are after then these steel repros are the best that have ever been made:

The o ring should fit quite easily over the float, however normally the float expands in use and this is probably why it was tight to get off. Always a good idea to change the O ring when reassembling the tap. Sometimes a smear of hylomar on the flange faces is a good idea too. You are quite lucky y...

Not sure what the original tanks are made of. There are no material spec markings. What I can say is that they aren’t dimensionally stable so any repair to them needs to be a little flexible as well as fuel proof. Also, the outer surface is fairly repellant to anything bonding to it. It can of cours...

Just a reminder to all you Dart owners to check for fuel tank/fuel tap leaks as part of your routine maintenance. It’s well worth the effort to take the panels off for a check- Even if you have an aluminium tank! It’s well known that fuel tank and tap leaks are a problem on darts, and the aluminium ...

Technically nothing is impossible but it will not be straightforward. I have seen a kokusan engine (including the starter) in an A3 frame before and that required lengthening of the rear engine mount bolt holes to be able to push the engine further back and some modifications to the front frame down...

Have you connected to the bike with a laptop and diagnostic software? You can do so with freely available GuzziDiag software, and a cheap to buy diagnostic lead. With this you can as a minimum reset the Throttle Position Sensor zero point, but you can also actuate and (I think although I have never ...

Nope, not normal behaviour! Key off the green wire from the switch should have continuity with earth. Unplug the green wire from the switch at the fusebox and check this. If it doesn’t Check that the switch earth is good. If it is then you have a faulty switch. If the earth is bad that could be your...

Thanks for sharing and glad you have found a solution that works for you. 3D printing definitely changes how we can continue to keep our bikes on the road. The club actually manufactures high quality sidepanel pins already, moulded in rubber not printed. They are available on the clubs products page...
