I don't know what counts as proof these days but it is the build date that matters, so if you have a bike that
sat around in a show room or was not registered for some other reason and you can prove the build date
is before 1976 then you can get free road tax.

282 mm about 11 inches.
That's as near as I can measure it on a org system on a 75/76 350 Strada

One valve opens at 1 bar allowing coolant to escape to the bottle
but there is another anti vacuum valve that lets the coolant flow
back as the engine cools down.

It is normal for The chain not mesh with the same teeth it's called hunting tooth it's to even out ware.

The Orange peel effect can be challenging to get just right.

Theres one for sale nr me but getting in touch is proving difficult,

My Sport has a steering damper, and my Strada doesn't. If anything, the Strada is slightly more stable than the Sport (slightly smaller diameter rear tyre?) As EVGuru said, the steering damper seems to be for marketing/cosmetic purposes. If you do want a replacement, NLM sell them, not original but...

Yey but if it kicks back it will break your thumb.

There all likely a little different but how I start mine is get it so I can feel compression then just put the slightest bit of throttle on and give it a swinging kick, it does not need to be a almighty kick if it's going to start it does not take much at all, this works even from stone cold no chok...
