Hi R1100purist, I'm a bit late joining this thread. On my '86 K2 I've got stock VHBZ25 HS carbs, running 115 main jet and 50 idle jet with a stock airbox and stock 260 CM atomiser. Mine is a US model, without the emissions restriction setup. She runs quite happily with modern fuel (Australian 95 oct...

Hi R1100 purist,
My sincere apologies for the very delayed reply. I have now sent the K2 owners manual to your email. It's a big file so I hope you get it ok.

Hi Dom, Sorry to here the K1 suffered in the flood. My garage flooded a couple of years ago during the night and the tide line left on the K2 was up to just below the the RHS crankcase vents when I fished the bike out from 10cm water a few hours later in the morning. I slept through people knocking ...

May I have a 350 exhaust spanner? I'm in Sydney, Australia and have Paypal.
Thank you,

Awesome, this is some good information. I’m not a part of Facebook but is there a way to get that service manual otherwise? Also I’m hanging trouble on that Rome site accessing the specific parts manual. Hi R1100, I've sent you a message about my K2 owners manual. Fiona Sydney, Australia

I dont think there ever was a K2 parts book and I've been looking. They were such a small production run at the end of the v twins I'd presume Morini just didnt bother? A lot is the same as other 350s, a few things different such as the swing arm pin is longer, nikasil bores, carbs, bodywork etc. I ...

I obtained big end half shells not long ago for my 1980 500Wfrom Mdina Italia, who only have second undersize at present when I looked. Try https://www.mdinaitalia.co.uk/M250321.html or search Mdina for "big end shells". Fiona owner of the "red rust heap 500" Sydney Australia

Thanks John. I actually got stuck up in the north for 4 days till roads south opened. At least my K2 didnt get it's feet wet this year, but last year the garage filled to 1cm below the crankcase vents overnight :( - a narrow escape for the stator and flywheel from any inflooding. I hope to have more...

Thank you Simon. I have messaged you.

Hi Simon
Yes, please get a postage quote for me. I know it will be expensive, hopefully not too insanely so.
Cheers,
Fiona (Sydney)

Hi Simon. Is the black chain guard still available? And postage to Australia? Thank you

Thank you 72degrees for the head's up about the rebore and gearbox bushes. And thank you stradella for the encouraging words.I have to hope for the best with a conventional rebore, as there was no one locally who could bore a taper. The only defect he found on initially checking the gearbox was the ...

Hi Vitesse. The engineers and other people on the forum are better qualified than I to comment on the differences. Going by what the engineer working on my engine said, I can comment as follows: He was quite impressed by how similar the size and layout of the cases were, even wondering if Morini had...

An update for the 5 speed 500's engine. Rebore has been done, and the crank inspected. Some crankpin wear and the big end bearings not in good shape. Fortunately there were big end undersize shells available for purchase from Mdina. The crank should be back soon after machining the pin for the new s...

Hi all. Finally some limited trades are available again for the "red rust heap" project. The engine parts and cases have been cleaned, and I have ordered some parts. I'm waiting on oversize pistons, and new exhaust valves as the old ones once cleaned were obviously toast. I'm finding brows...
