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

Just had a thought - drill the swingarm spindle, tap each end and fit a 90deg fitting, hose from m/c to fitting, through spindle, hose from fitting to caliper. Must be the alcohol talking haha.
 
Thanks for the thoughts ............. I made up a couple of black plastic mounts, similar to what Sonic suggested, that will accept the line, and as the brake light wires will be running across from r/h side to l/h side I'll run the wires with the brake line and use some black shrink tube to hold it all together and it will also decrease the stand out factor underneath that cross brace.

Left my phone at work ::) so will bang up some pictures later.
 
Just got back from a quick 60km ride around the block to test the rebuilt carbs on the yellow peril, things humming :D
 
Today I did a quick 160km on the Spaniard then introduced her to her Aussie sister that will have her engine put back in tomorrow!!

Fuck off Chris :D. Been waiting for you to come on-line so I can tell you to fuck off ;)
 
No malice intended Chris, all in jest. Bloody good, hard game. Good win, but not quite as good as winning a Grand Final (twice) :LOL:
 
After far too many months off the road dealing with some g/box issue and head change I finally started the Motodd and when for a short ride. Now for a few adjustments and carb ballance and all should be good. Better be, it's on it's last warning!!

And Terry/CK, go the Dockers :P :P :P
 
Rode the f$%^er but not very far. After months of road inaction due to engine out for R&R and new paint I finally hit the start button in earnest (previous starts only for purpose of checking carb balance etc) and hit the road. Snicked into 1st like a good thing, accelerated smoothly up the road, snicked cleanly into 2nd and gave it some gas, at 60kmh tired for 3rd and the lever just hit a brick wall. Absolutely no upward lever movement at all. So around to the servo in 2nd, filled up with premium, and home again in 1st and 2nd. Parked her up and came inside to cool down

Oh well, should find some time this week (I hope) to drain the oil and pull off the gear selector cover and see what the f%4k is (not) going on.

FFF

About to cut the f'n thing in half vertically and make it into a couple of wall plaques.
 
At least these days just about all the cannot get all gears problems have simple solutions. I used to dread dicking with this, I once spent what seemed a year looking for 5th gear.Once the cam adjuster is evened up and you make sure the spring is fitted the right way and the big washer is fitted in the right place it usually comes down to minimizing friction binding between the shifter shafts and the case. Loosen it up and soft hits to remove binding.

Can?t you just lean it hard over to get into the selector cover?
As Vince says there isn?t a lot to check in there, bound to be simple.
Had mine off using street lights once to fix a chain problem, rode off and had nothing above 2nd so I gave up and put up the tent beside the road. In the morning I crawled under a parked car and retrieved the pin I?d dropped from the selector (you know those little bastards), back in and on my way. Lucky.
 
Should have added I have also had the rearset link freeze up and result is sticking in gear on a couple of occasions, stuck in 4th once,not fun, used to love washing the bike.Strip and grease with water proof boat trailer grease these days.
