Re: Ive bought an early 3 1/2 Sport !

As I’m sure you are aware, most Morini didn’t have engine numbers. Some export markets had numbers stamped, and when done they were usually (not always) in the vicinity of the rear engine mount. Number would be the frame number, minus the model designation prefix, so just a string of 5 numbers or so...

Re: Valentini Replica

Julian- thanks for speaking to Dennis. Did he give any idea of the cost of a jig- granted it’s extra cost but the alternative would be to produce a batch using someone’s bike to fit to, else everyone needs to take their bikes to him. That would tie someone’s bike up for a while and risk them all bei...

Re: Valentini Replica

Yes, both side and centre stands retained on my RMS equipped k1. If you have rearsets, the RMS can be a bit of a challenge in the rear downpipe clearance department on the disc rear braked bikes. In the past I’ve relieved the tarozzi hangar to clear the pipe and that’s been ok but my current set is ...

Re: 350 Exhaust Options

David- There is a sort-of plan by a few owners to have some replica RMS and Valentini systems made. See the thread at the below link, and if you’re interested stick a post there- the more who are interested the more viable it will become https://www.morini-riders-club.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&am...

Re: Electronic fuel tap rubber membranes

So, another update on these. They’re now in production. They will be available in time for the club’s rally in June (where you can also see the test rig) and will also be on sale via the club products page by the end of June. A great outcome, and well done to the club for putting in the money and ef...

Re: One way bearing again

I have never had or known that bearing or the spring to fail. In fact, I’ve never even replaced those items in any of my engines.

Definitely worth checking everything else out when you reassemble, and make sure the thrust washers and shims are correct and in the correct places

Re: Warwickshire Welford Meetings?

Sorry about that, quite a few of the warwickshire section were away on holidays last week (disgraceful I know!) but I am surprised nobody was there- There are normally half a dozen of us. We have a WhatsApp group so if you want to join that drop us a message (details in ATG) and normally there are a...

Re: 1983 Sport FOR SALE

It’s a really original bike, recent import so spared dozens of UK winters. Pretty much all original paint, and other than the headlight (which is a proper CEV), indicators (which are brighter than the originals) and rearsets and kickstart extender, it’s completely as it left the factory and un messe...

Re: 250 rebuild from bits

Glad the Morini Riders Club were able to help you with getting this registered. For anyone who doesn’t know, providing dating certificates and registration advice is (quite generously) a free service the club offers, and there are probably 100 more Morinis on UK roads so far as a a result.

Re: Any Morini owners in Kent?

Welcome to ownership! Quite a few club members scattered across the countryside. Have you seen the club is hosting an international rally near Maidstone in June? Well worth booking into that and meeting other Morini folk from near and far. More info in the rally booking page: https://www.morini-ride...

Re: Hone strong are these engines

As with all engines, be sympathetic in allowing your engine to come up to operating temperature, but once warm, you can show it no mercy.

A morini responds really well to a good thrashing. Pretty sure the only reason the red line is there is to stop the needle falling off the rev counter!
