MRC Forum- brought to you by www.morini-riders-club.com

I owned and liked both here they are but still own the Morini,
though I did twice the mileage on the SV in 3 years than I have
done on the Morrini in twenty.

Got mine about 15 years back did not know much about them but it was cheep and I could see
a profit, I still have the thing many others have come and gone but the Strada stays,
they are just a lovely thing to ride, and any way I am a sucker for V twins.

Though it will pull from 30 mph and less than 2000 revs in top even on this run I did not let the revs drop that low, mostly 4 to 5000 rpm nothing worse for a engine than to be run at to low a rpm, If my bike as a fault it's the clutch sometimes slips a little between 5 and 6000 rpm around the max t...

Cant see why if it's set up right your sport should not do similar mpg, I used to get about 72 from my V-strom, what got me interested I read a thread on a NC700 forum, these things are supposed to be top dog re MPG some one was asking if anyone could get 100 mpg US that's 120 mpg UK my Strada as al...

If the compression rings are worn but not the oil ring you can get blow by enough to
pressurise the crankcase and blow oil out of the breathers but not show any blue
smoke out of the exhaust.
Maybe a compression test?

Just put the Strada back on the road after a winter lay off, just pooddling about
up to 60 ish running round the lanes 109 mpg I know the clock is a little fast but
even so that's a good result, as good as a Honda 90 I had.

Only the clutch cable, the first Venhill one wore through on the engine guide but to give it a little lee way it was a slightly longer one supplied by MLN by I take it mistake, it's done about 10000 mile ordered the correct one Wed night direct and it arrived Thurs morning I have to say it is very l...

I have a MB9U on my 1975 350 Strada and it was a tight fit think I had to take
the right side panel off and work it in from there but it's about 2 years back so not sure,
maybe the 500 is different.

LENGTH: 136MM, WIDTH: 76, HEIGHT: 133MM

Mine is smoother at that speed than 50 but it's not bad at any speed getting smoother at higher speeds.
The carb balance makes a big difference at lower speeds but could be worth a look also engine mount
bolts.

It's hard to read the diagram so check things out as you go we don't want to fry anything expensive
I will have another look at it in the next few days but let me know how you go on, mine is playing
up a bit so may have to fit a 6 pole to mine at some time.

6 Pole according to this 1 at 6 o'clock = red = + live 2 at 20 to = brown = appearers to be output from the voltage regulator 3 at 5 to = green =engine stop earth to 4 to stop engine 4 at 5 passed = blue =earth 5 at 15 nin passed = yellow = power to lights switch on bars 6 at 20 passed = yellow and ...

What do you have on the end of the 6 pole switch numbered terminals or coloured wires
is the switch numbered 1 to 6 with 1 being at the 6 o'clock position then numbered clock wise?

I think I have the org book for my 1975 Strada and it shows 5 and 6 pole switches I will look over the week end and see if I can figger what's going on.

The ignition is turned off by shorting the system so you should find a circuit when the ignition is turned off.

Try swapping the yellow wires from connection to connection it can make a big difference a good one with standard bulbs will be over 13V at 3000 rpm. http://s235.photobucket.com/user/G7ied/media/DSCF5346.mp4.html at first it's running lights off you can see the needle flick when I turn them on this ...
