Agree there are big areas of overlap between the different models (hurrah for our modular bikes!) and so sometimes it hard to know where best to post, and as you say, useful to share common info across multiple models. From a keeping info strictly accurate perspective though, I prefer to keep topics...

Peter has been back in touch and confirmed this is for a 77 strada. So here is my two pennies: Many people replace the electric tap with a manual one as they never were the most reliable thing, and in any case on motorway journeys etc you will probably find you want to use both taps. However, if you...

Hi Peter, Have moved your post to the wanted section. Which model bike is this for (the road bikes have a different electric tap to darts etc) Either way, I don’t know of anyone who refurbishes them, but depending on what’s wrong with yours they can sometimes be coaxed back into a bit more life. Is ...

I have a scrap RHS crankcase which could be modified, if somebody has the means and time to do so (can provide photos of what’s required) Years ago the club had a full set of tools we loaned out but these very sadly went walkabouts. If my scrap case becomes a new tool, then I’m happy to be a custodi...

Sorry for the delay in replying to this, I’ve been away. YES! There is finally some news- thanks for everybody’s patience. We displayed the prototype panels at the Cadwell trackday and following on from that, we’ve instructed the first batch to be manufactured. There will be more info in ATG More ne...

There’s a nice looking police 500 on eBay currently. Bidding ends today. I don’t know the bike or the seller but on the face of it it’s a rare model and currently the bids are what I would call cheap, even if it turned out it needed unexpected work. All I hope is that whoever does buy it maintains i...

Has anyone got a proven way of keeping the early (round bodied) CEV 173 indicators attached to the bike without cracking? If you don’t do them up tight enough they rotate If you do them up too tight they crack If you knock them because of their rigid metal stalks they crack If they were cast metal t...

I wish I could tell you, but it's been a long time since I had standard forks on my dart (I changed to mk1 mito for a number of reasons) I am pretty sure from memory that they do indeed have different spacers left to right. And different spacers to freccia too, so if you were to fit freccia forks yo...

They are indeed the same as freccia. I've never seen new ones available, other than occasionalsy NOS ones popping up on ebay. Used Freccia ones are often available. I am not aware of anything off the shelf which is a direct replacement Which part is it you need? the bar or the alloy riser? They tend...

The UK Morini Riders Club will be holding an international rally to celebrate 50 years since the 3 1/2 arrived in the UK. Save the date- 28 - 30 June 2024 We are busy planning the event, which will be held again in Kent near to the channel crossings and will be a similar format to our successful 201...

Are you using the plastic collars which go around the rubber manifold at the head end, underneath the jubilee clip? Not using them is a good way to accelerate the splitting of the manifolds. Are the metal stub tubes in the head tight? They can loosen, again introducing air leaks. The part numbers fo...

The ‘injector warning light’ is not just for the injectors, it’s a diagnostic light a bit like the MIL lamp on any modern car. It will illuminate for basic electrical faults in connected sensors as well as more fundamental faults like as you say faulty injectors. There is a diagnostic menu you can a...

I connected to the original ignition wiring system and nothing was removed so if there was a diode in the wiring it will still be there. However if I do need to fit a diode what type should I get. The diode is normally inline between the green wire from the ignition switch and the fusebox, at the f...
