With fresh oil I use the folds of my finger. If you put the mark of the stick on a fold of the finger of the other hand, you´ll see

I can´t find a foto I´ve made years ago with a bunch of dipsticks with marks of diferent heights. The best way is to fill in 2,5 l, then insert the dipstick and make a (new?) mark at that point. Then you know that that is the minimum > fil in always a little more (about 10 -15 mm). Most dipsticks ha...

Oh, nice ones I´ve never seen this-

The later Stradas didn´t have front drum brakes

Thanks for that soothing info.

The coming weekend will be the 43rd german meeting near Krombach (500 km from Lübeck)
Can´t find my flippers and snorkel

Has anyone combined a Paioli top yoke from the first Stradas with the lower yoke of a Marzocchi fork?
I think the geometry should be the same and hence possible.
Any coments about that?

That´s true! I think the problem with sticking floats happen much more frequently with the ridges of the "new" white plastic ones

Obviously while parked at least one fuel tap was open and a float valve in one of the carbs didn´t close. That´s the way the fuel gets into the crank case :wink: and it would also happen with perfect segments on the pistons. Up to now I don´t see any reason to strip the motor (at least for that reas...

I would think it´s more a question of carburation than changing the plugs

Obviously there was too much oil inside.
It´s 2,5 l (if you want a little more), 3 l is too much!

The covers ot the 350 electric start are the same

Yes the 500 an 501 manifolds are a bit diferent. On the carb side they should be the same. Or that´s what I guess, being the 26 and 28 PHBH. At least the diamenter of theses carbs to the filter is the same. But the studs in the heads where the manifold is mounted has a bigger diameter in the 501 tha...

The advantage of the Menanis is that they are a lot more solid than that fragil Tarozzi pedals

If the clutch works properly and you have problems to release the special nuts: leave it like it is!!! (until you realy have a problem with the clutch)
Aplying too much force on these nuts there is a certain risk of loosen the studs in the basket, and the you´ll have a problem indeed

You should put that woodroof key, before doing anything else, because if the flywheel is not in the corect posicion you can not use the marks of PMS and ANT and will loose the valve and ignition timing.
