Thanks for the comments Pete The tank does have two fuel taps. I will try to find out the engine number I found some info on the internet that suggested that the late Sprints had frame numbers beginning with G but I can't verify that. Bike is coming up for auction. hard to put a value on it here in ...

Anyone? Keen to hear comments

Hello there there is a nice 1960 Tresette Sprint in Sydney. Would be interested in comments as to whether it is a genuine Sprint and if it has all the correct bits. It is a stunning little bike. Frame number G*43316* Photos in my dropbox, click the following link. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/m9l9ghsc...

Thanks for the helpful suggestions as usual. I finally got some time to remove the front wheel. The shoes look almost new and had not been chamfered on any edge, so I chamfered all of them with a file. I cleaned and lubricated the cam and the cables and splitter box. I set the brake up by increasing...

I have checked the archives and cannot find any instructions or tips on setting up the front drum on my 1974 Sport. I have not ridden a bike with a front drum since the Honda H100 I learned on in 1984, and the front brake on my Sport is not confidence inspiring......initially there is little force b...

Sorry for confusing everyone my concern I had wrong carbs and incorrect slide orientation was a load of codswallop......brain seizure. I have now very carefully cut back cable outers with my Dremel and have achieved 3mm slack at cable adjusters. I also checked the float height and discovered it was ...

Removed carbs to clean and rebuild and astonished to discover I have 2 x VHB25BS Surely I should have one VHB25BS (Sinistra = left) and one VHB25BD (Destra = right). The S carb mounted to the forward or left cylinder appears to have the slide reversed so the carb could be fitted with the fuel banjos...

Thanks Texaskitty that is just what I needed to know and the cable routing info is very useful as well

Surprised my cable is so different from an original

Cheers

Flat end of the slide is towards the intake side NOT the air cleaner side, I think that is correct?????

I have now done nearly 1000km on the 1974 DD 3.5 I bought just before Christmas and loving it now I have fixed the clutch and installed a new cam belt. Next issue is the very high idle 2500-3000rpm. The front LH carb has about 3-4mm free play at the throttle cable although the adjuster is screwed ri...

Thanks that is very helpful

I think I shall look for a used set of Konis, they seem to sell for about same price as a new set of Hagons. Irons are now made in Australia where I live so rebuild kits easily available

Just completed test ride. Bike is transformed. Nice progressive clutch, easy selection of neutral even from standstill. Nice easy pressure required in gear overs. Very pleased thanks very much for all the help. I think a combination of cleaning the plates, changing the position of the dished plate a...

I am looking for. Set of OEM Marzocchi shocks for my 1974 3.5 Sport. I am not bothered about total originality, and assume they must have been used on other bikes....what is the eye to eye size please if anyone knows it. I'd also be happy with Koni 7610 dial a rides........if they will fit. Currentl...

Thanks all for all these great suggestions. Paul, your videos are extremely helpful thanks Yesterday I dismantled the clutch. I made the tool from the 14mm flat blade screwdriver as specified in blue book and was very pleased that the five screws on clutch cover loosened very easily. The plates are ...
