It would be great if you could post some photos of how you wired it up.

Re: Glass fuse replacement
MickeyMoto Thank you. I have ordered 15a blade fuses with two pigtail wires coming out of the fuse holder with receptacles for spade terminals. https://www.amazon.com/Beaiguna-Professional-Standard-Automotive-Waterproof/dp/B0DDKLM4F7/ref=asc_df_B0DDKLM4F7?mcid=d2eee5a50ac538b8a42d572b0f116fe3&ta...

Glass fuse replacement
I've searched the forum but couldn't find any info on replacing the original glass fuses (getting more difficult to find) with blade type fuses. I don't want to replace the whole fuse box; rather, I would like to change just the three fuses on the box. There are various options: 1. Flex Fuse convert...

Starter Motor Refurbishment Videos
I had the usual "solenoid clicking but no start" problem and decided to get to the bottom of it. I made five videos, which I loaded into YouTube because of the size of each video, on how I tested each component and solved the problem. You can also search under Tre e Mezzo Parts 1 through 5...

Re: Starter Relay
I know that various aspects of this topic have been beaten to death; however, I am a little stumped here. I removed the starter motor on the bike I am restoring and cleaned off years of gunk, opened it and cleaned the brushes, topped up the oil and cleaned the chain. I bought a new Kawasaki starter ...

Re: Valve Timing
Tobymv Here's how I did it: I first brought the front piston to TDC and also set valve clearance to 1.0mm. I then turned the camshaft pulley clockwise until the 1.0mm clearance on the inlet valve was taken up (I could not twist the inlet pushrod anymore). With the inlet cam/rocker now just about to ...

Photo of front piston and conrod
A recent private poster was worried that the pistons and con-rods of his machine were assembled incorrectly by some previous owner and wanted to see photos to make sure he assembled it correctly. Even though the manual has the drawings of the piston and the con-rod arrangement, since I was going to ...

Re: Clutch spring retaining nuts (and gear linkage)
I've got it to the point where it goes into gear with a slight clunk. But it seems to bog down when I let the clutch out. Now, I am beginning to wonder if I have my gear linkage upside down :oops: .My bike is 1979 K sold in the US and so I assumed it was sold with the left hand side gear (which it h...

Re: Clutch spring retaining nuts
Paul I looked in the box of parts that came with the bike and did find a thinner metal plate (along with used fiber and steel plates) that for some reason the previous owner did not use. I installed the thin fiber disk first, then the thin metal disk, and then the rest of the pack and tightened the ...

Re: Clutch spring retaining nuts
I assume you meant that the plastic washer was thinner than the bronze bush and that is why a spacer was needed? My bike is a November 1979 K with about 10k miles. The blue manual that came with it shows and talks about the "special" nylon washer but does not say anything about a shim or s...

Re: Clutch spring retaining nuts
Morini clutch plates.JPG I adjusted the clutch spring nuts by bottoming the springs and then backing the nut off a 1/4 turn. The face of the nut now is about a thread or so below the face of the stud. However, it does not seem to have made any difference. There is crunching noise when I put it into...

Re: Clutch spring retaining nuts
>>All of the plates in the early clutch were the same thickness (2mm as I recall) I guess I must have an early clutch as all the steel plates are the same thickness measured at various points on the radius of each plate. >> Remove any burrs from the centre drum and I find it helps to flatten and de-...

Re: Clutch spring retaining nuts
>>You say you have a binding clutch. Do you mean that it won't release fully? Lots of people would use the term ‘dragging’ where at the least makes getting neutral a pain, while at its worst will stall the engine when you select a gear. It stalls when I "crunch" :lol: into a gear. With the...

Re: Clutch spring retaining nuts
The clutch lever is smooth and there are no kinks in the cable. When you say "They came from the factory fully screwed in and that's the way mine have always gone back, just lightly nipped" I assume you mean that you screw the nuts in till the face of each nut is flush with the pin that go...

Clutch spring retaining nuts
How tight do you screw the nuts that hold the clutch plate springs? I tightened them in all the way and that seemed to result in a binding clutch. I also assume that if you do not tighten them in all the way, the spring load prevents them from unscrewing without the need for any kind of Loctite? Tha...
