Re: ATG
The editor asked for comments - I think it is a good looking magazine now. Well done. I recently moved house and found some late 80s mags, they could have been mistaken for 21st Century, except the hair styles in the monochrome pictures. Is there a cost implication? On the latest issue, it would be ...

Crash Bobbins
Try this as a winter thought provoker........ Was just wondering if crash bobbins could do more damage than they could save? I can understand if the bike is sliding they would act a a sacrificial point to wear down, but would be worried about them either becoming a pivot to flip the bike or if the b...

Sorry about your ankle, hope you will be darting about soon. My Dart is on the road but I have not had much opportunity to ride it this year, preferring my new toy for the longer jaunts, especially 2 up. This winter I intend replacing the exhaust (as well as sorting a couple of little niggles), mayb...

Hi, The brake only has the pistons on one side and the caliper slides when the pad on the pistons side contacts the disc to pull the other pad to the disc. Check that the caliper has not seized on the pins. Copper grease is good (IMHO, but I'm sure some engineering degreed people would disagree). I ...

The Morini is a bit sick so took the Honda instead. A nice sunny day with a run from Alnwick to Carter Bar with my son on the pillion. Arrived at Carter Bar just after noon and the weather was glorious. Views across southern Scotland and northern Englan for miles, and even the sheep wanted to make f...

Hi, It only doesn't work in a 1,000 rpm band. It is running rich. Probably not related. If I can get that sorted I will be happy. I will be trying the standard airbox too. I had this problem on an earlier Sport where somebody had fitted a 2-1 and decided to jet up. It needed jetting down! It then pu...

<100 Main jets for VHBZ25 carbs - wanted.
Hi,
I have some spare jets (108 and 115). Anybody got anything around 96 (or smaller) for a swap?
thanks,
regards,
Mike.

Hi Mark, I am running RamAir filters with 100 MainJets and it is still running rich (pipe is sooty). With 108s it would not rev above 4500. There is a terrible hole from about 3500 to 4500, although it pulls well from small throttle openings and revs to the red line. I am going to try a standard air...

Hi Paul, Thanks for the info. I have decided to keep the old Morini and will look elsewhere for a Beemer replacement. I have heard horror stories of the newer BMWs not being up to standard, so will be looking to the East. It is a shame that Morini have designed what looks like a good quality product...

Hi Paul, A check would be good, thanks. The range is the only thing stopping me at present. It would not be so important if I had the bike solely for thrashes around the Dales, but I also use it to go 'down souf' for work so early starts are called for. I like my bed, so I would object to getting up...

Hi, The original question included a request for tank range. It would appear that it is too embarrasing to quote a full to empty range! :? 21 litres - 180 miles with a little to spare would be good advice that would make me consider a purchase. I take it as a given that the bike is fun. I do not wan...
