I am selling my 3CL because at 74 it is become to heavy and cramped for me to manage. Bike has 4C cams, HC pistons and stainless Jota exhaust system. Redax Sachi ignition and alternator upgrades, kevlar clutch plates, new rubbers in clutch and rear wheel, new fork tubes. Motor is strong and cylinder compression is 65lb-60lb-65lb. I am asking A$20,000 for Forum members. If not bought by a Forum member I will advertise it elsewhere at a greater price. Bike is in Tasmania. Shipping at buyers cost.

Engine number? These numbers were on the bike when I bought it. There were no queries when I had it inspected for registration.
 
Looks tidy, engine # stamp is unique-replacement case? I like the Palmelli style rear brake setup & surprised that passenger pegs are still fitted. Good luck w/ the sale!

Hi Jeremy,

Maurice wasn't questioning the units, he was asking about the actual number. 65 psi is way too low for a healthy engine. It should be closer to 165 psi.

Having ridden your bike, I know the engine is OK, so your compression measurement can't be right. If that's the number you actually got on the gauge, then I suspect you did the compression test with the throttle closed. You need to hold the throttle wide open while you crank the engine.

Good luck with the sale. It's a nice tidy bike. If you sell it to a buyer on the mainland and want someone to deliver it ... :)

Cheers,
Cam
 
Cam, Maurice, My typo, cylinder 1 = 165 psi, 2= 160psi, 3=165 psi. cold Cranking and throttle wide open.
 
Hey JW I'm sure a lot us can see the time coming where at some point we are getting too old to handle our Laverdas. Hopefully you have great memories and will be happy someone else will get to enjoy a great bike.

Yes she is ready for a new owner, to much for me now.
 
Can anyone add to the primary case stampings? It's obviously a replacement but who comes up with these numbers? No big deal, just curious.
Bike looks great by the way (y)

Hi Jeremy
i am interested in your bike, how can I contact you for more details.

regards
Andrew
 
May I just chip in and say what a fabulous looking bike this is. It's got the looks, its been taken care of, its had loads of good stuff done. If I had not already got one, this is one I would want to buy and I would have you ship it over to London at vast expense no doubt. Good on you Jeremy for looking after it so well and being realistic enough to let it go. I am sure that won't be easy.
