The problem I have with using the centre stand on my 81 sport is that it makes it awkward due to height Is it possible to rotate backward a few notches like the ( strada ) pictures suggests? The club strada kickstart is correctly fitted and is further back than a aluminium one, thus lower, if you d...

Well, I have tried to shrink a photo of my sidestand to a size that can be coped with here, but working with an android tablet and my general incompetence with matters computing, I cannot get it to a small enough size, hu hum! The old gimmers on the VMCC forum struggle with this. Having the luxury ...

Hi, In your case (77 strada) the VHB 25 BS and VHBZ 25 BS are interchangeable and the jets should be the same. I would probably replace all jets with new anyway, with what you have in your present setup for the record as standard 77 strada would have 112 main, 260K atomiser, E17 needle 50 choke. The...

So, a question for those with greater knowledge Are there in fact two standards of sidestand pivot points on the frame and are they related to the fitment of a specific kickstart assembly? I just swapped a steel starter 38.01.11 for an aluminium starter 38.01.15 on a 1978 350 Sport A/3 standard foo...

Official pedant checking in :D These are the Dell'Orto castings for the body VHB and VHBZ the venturi size is next then a variation letter AFAIK Moto morini only ever used B and H variants, the S stands for Sinistro or Left , D Destro or right side carbs not used on twins. The castings are common S ...

The sidestand is a different issue, but I had noticed all was not well prior to buying the bike. It retracts parallel to the frame tube but protrudes 45mm out from the head of the mainstand pivot bolt head outer surface. Far further than the one on the picture of the Club Strada. Can you post a pic...

Hi All, I don't think there should be a problem with a steel kick start and clearance to the side stand. I wonder if the sidestand itself is bent and is too far from the frame at its tip it should tuck well away. Sidestands can be found. also make sure that the kickstarter is fitted correctly so tha...

Hello and welcome to the forum and Morini Ownership Not sure sure which heatshield you mean because there are these options that go with the strada from around this time. Round side panels Angular side panels The round side panel goes with the shorter heatshield and for the strada the steel kick sta...

Rex's speed shop did a good job for me and others, so I wonder what's happened, often its all down to only having one person who actually knows what they are doing and if they leave or retire that's game over...

I have LED headlight and 3 of 4 Morinis, and LED tail in all. No problem with the rear since I decided not to use Halfords, I had two of these from Halfords fail in a year. The last Morini has a CIBIE unit and I haven't found an H4 LED that would fit yet. One thing with the LED headlights is that th...

It has taken "Years" to work out the cylinder cooling issues and the oiling issues when operating at 175%+ of OEM power levels. What we have Learned : Change the oil OFTEN !!! or you WILL trash your bottom end plain bearing inserts and C/S journals from sludge buildup in the C/S internal ...

Brilliant, well done
110 mph wouldn't be bad from a 350 Morini without a side car
More pics on Instagram?

Hi Matt, You said that the pickup didnt sit flat, so we assumed that the cause is that the inner spigot of the pickup is contacting the the face of the oil seal, if this isn't the case then I don't understand. Please ensure that the oil seal is fitted as per the workshop manual as John says, also th...
