Re: What did you do to or for or with your Laverda today?

Fitted the new Odyssey PC625, hit the button and BOOM! instant starting.  Yip yip yip!  :D
 
Alan's high altitude off camber drive weirded me out.
Plus that bike had no working brakes.
 
It appears the tacho is not accurate.  At tick-over it's indicating nearly 2K rpm, but the exhaust note suggests otherwise. 
Or, do I need to recalibrate my hearing too!?    ::)

My hearing may need calibrating too .......... I thought I heard a blip when there was no hand on the throttle at 1:15.
Could Grant have dubbed sound to the movie? Or, is the hand faster than the eye.
 
It was on choke.
Not dubbed.
No trickery.
I didn't build it, sold it for a friend.
Tail light is an easy fix should the new owner so wish.
Anything else?
 
It's registered in 81 so may be that or a 1980 production model.
It has the correct 3 web cases.
 
Tweaked the pilot screws.  Mikuni specify 1/4 to 1/2 a turn for most applications, mine were at 3/4 and the bike was fluffing a bit moving off.  Down to about 3/8 turn and much crisper.
 
Spent quite a bit of the day trying to find why the rear light on the SF2 wouldn't come on with the headlight. The rear light has been fed direct from the headlight over the last few months.
I haven't found the problem so it looks like I'll go back to a direct front/rear feed and will look into a complete rewire in the near future suspecting a broken wire somewhere.

Nothing apart from moving 3 of them out and then back in the shed... spent most of the day doing what thought was going to be a 5 minute simple job of moving the mill drill from the back of the van to its new home...................would have been better to leave it in the Van me thinks.. anyways job done well kind of ... at least a workable solution ... oh and the bikes are back in the shed... the black one stayed in side.. didnt want to go outside in the sun.
Maybe I should take it in the rain tomorrow to serve it right
