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

Been going through various items on the agenda to correct on the bike to hopefully ensure it's in tip top shape ready for a long ride soon...........
However every time I touch something it seems to start off a chain reaction. Mentioned before about fixing the knock in the bottom end (although didn't mention some of the drama with that :'() so that had to be done anyway. So moved to the forks to change oil and happy with result but speedo stopped working. Tried quite a few things but ultimately a good swearing to won and it now works. Now I'm dripping oil all over the garage floor. Thought at first I was just a bit slack tightening the engine covers recently but no, leak actually started increasing and I'm pretty sure it's the main shaft seal. (Glad Andy can't see my chain!! - I actually have one of his non oring chains) So have taken the clutch cover off however haven't been able to get the sprocket off to have a look before I had to go and drink some grog. So finished the grog but will leave the bike till tomorrow. While it's out of action will also check the shims however am now concerned what lifting the cam cover might lead to. Is there such a thing as a haunted Lav - a couple of threads recently would support this :-X  :LOL:
 
That's a litre, with one hell of a lot of it tax. Seen it up to $1.60 and more. It can go up and down 40c from week to week, some BS about the Singapour price of crude. We swallow any shit the Government tells us.
 
And the joy is it is also totally self serve. The station is closed, just whack your card into a remote pump controller, fill your tank from the chosen pump and hang up the nozzle and listen to the sound of your cash heading to the owner and all under the eye of his security cameras. These sort of stations are popping up in small towns across rural West Oz. Great in that it means a 24 hour fuel supply but absolute shit when the charge machine fucks up and you are 100km from the next town.

Country Pub run with the relatives. Forks gradually improved through the ride as the oil level dropped via the seals with the left side blowing big time on our super smooth (where is the sarcasm emoticon?) country roads.





Found some more work for Red as well, a rubber ducked Jota 120 may be headed his way.

Servo at Beverley?

Which pub?
 
Went for a very cold and damp ride on salty and muddy roads to see whether my refurbished carbs are any better - and they are! It now has mid-range power and is even running on three cylinders instead of two. Just need to sort out a stutter coming off a closed throttle.

Hopefully there's a photo attached, numb fingers not shown.

I'd forgotten how beautiful our dry landscape can be at times. Was nice to ride out in middle of nowhere

Is that front guard the right way around CB..?
Click to expand...

Yes it is. Guard only fits one way as mount holes are same distance in from each end. It is the mounting hoops folk put on back to front and CB's are on the correct way around.
