Re: Marzocchi rear shock servicing

A couple or years ago I rebuilt 2 pairs of Marzocchi Strada shocks, the ones with the piggy back air/oil reservoir. Some of this info may be of help… I had the springs and bodies blasted and powder coated. Rebuild kits were available for a variety of Marzocchi shocks but since the company was closed...

Re: Broken Swingarm

Here’s a thing: I was down at Moto Corsa earlier having my MV serviced and talking to Ed who works there (and is always very helpful) I asked if they’d supplied any Morinis this year, he told me about a GP they supplied which the new owner took straight off on a trip and crashed it, riding quite har...

Re: Gran Passo R and 2016 prices

There's a test of the GP-R here (in Italian): http://www.moto.it/prove/moto-morini-granpasso-r.html And also an interview with Jannuzzelli (also in Italian): http://www.moto.it/news/moto-morini-oggi.html It makes interesting reading (via google translate) it seems he has recognized the need to move ...

Re: Gran Passo R and 2016 prices

It does not have ABS and appears not to be euro 4 compliant. The Motociclismo article notes that Morini say it's a business decision not to use electronics in order to "preserve the feeling of full control"... But all models will have ABS and be Euro 4 compliment for 2017. So don't expect ...

Re: checking on oil filter

Hi Thatch,
I just measured the correct UFI filter:

Diameter: 50mm
Height: 58.5mm
Inner Dia: 17mm

So I would say the K&N would not fit. Probably best to buy a batch from Europe, I get mine from NLM.

Cheers,
Robin

Re: Scrambler for sale spotted

That was my Scrambler, not sure how it ended back at 3X as I px'd it at Moto Corsa, though they have close ties. I bought it from 3X in Dec 2010 when the factory was up for sale. If any one is interested, I'd be happy to answer any questions. A very comfortable and brilliant bike to ride. Cheers, Ro...

Re: Due e Mezzo Article

Thats right Mark, Robin with hyphenated-surname.

I also had my Coguaro on the stand at Bristol which Corsaro Chris had kind words to say about it in the current ATG.

Re: Wheels Leaking Air

I had the same problem with my Scrambler (rear wheel initially), I took it back to Three Cross who were the UK Morini importers (though the factory had just shut as this was 2010) and they put an inner tube in. I assumed as they were the importers and had done this on numerous of the 1200s with spok...

Re: 1200 SCRAMBLER - side plate

Hi Dugal, The factory http://www.motomorinimotorcycles.eu still show the side plate for sale as an accessory under the Machine Components section, quite pricey by the time you add together the plate and the decal. I ordered the Scrambler leather side bag earlier this year, although I ordered it from...
