MRC Forum- brought to you by www.morini-riders-club.com

The Motorcycle Action Group currently has an online petition to allow bike access to bus lanes by default. This is in response to last year's consultation which resulted in the decision to keep the status quo and leave it up to local authorities so we have a position where you can access bus lanes o...

I know what you mean about them being noisy and yes sometimes they are noisier than other times. I put it down to cavitation and find that next time it'll be alright again.

Hi Tom

I seem to recall that Roofus had the same issue. I'll ask him next time I see him, hopefully at the next Corsaro meet.

I have just retro fitted an early Corsaro number plate hanger onto my ZZ in order to do away with the swing-arm mounted contraption that's prone to failure.

Not too big a job and write-up submitted to ATG on how I did it, if the editor deems my submission worthy

Pistons don't look too bad, although could do with a brush off.

64mm hmmm, tempting but will need to rebore the cylinder....

I'll have a look at King of Pistons, thanks.

Following an unfortunate lift home courtesy of the AA, I have now investigated the problem. Broken piston rings. In the absence of any in stock at Mdina, where is a good place to order some? I'm thinking of full sets for front and rear and according to my measurements they are standard 62mm. 1980 St...

I haven't tried on the Morini but I tend to put the piston in the freezer for 10 minutes or so and it pops right in.

The Corsaro Section are having a run on 31/07/2021. Meeting at the National Trust carpark, Hindhead, GU26 6AB from 12:00 for a 12:30 departure. We shall be riding approximately 28 miles (depending upon navigator and how many wrong turns etc.) to The Watercress Line in Alresford, (so not only bikes b...

Apologies for the short notice, however time has run away with me.

Due to the weather (storm Alex) and the rule of six it would not be a good idea for the October Corsaro Section meet to officially go ahead. Hopefully weather and restrictions will ease for next month.

G'day Bruce.

A cracking read as always.

The Corsaro was fitted with an MF lead acid battery, the ZZ has a lithium battery. Yes they do require different chargers as I believe the charging rates are different. I did find that you need a healthy battery to start the bike, it seems to take a lot of charge to do so. As for the solenoid, one a...

Did mine last week.I used 220mL of 15Wt oil per leg in my 83 K1 as usual. Interestingly one leg produced lovely clean oil and the other produced a filthy grim looking liquid. I run gaiters on the stanchions. Must be something degrading I guess. Speaking of filthy looking grim liquid a bar down the ...
