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

The weather forecast for tomorrow is reasonable, so I decided to take the Jota to the TueV (German MOT)
Managed to get it to start, charged the battery, then loaded it on the trailer ready for an early start.
Curious to see how it goes...
 
Wonder what it is then?  I usualy use Firefox, tried just now on Chrome and does the same thing.  If you press the quote button you just get the banner across the top which says "Loading..." and it never loads.

Cam, if the stand is long (tall) enough, the lower shockie mount bolt is often a convenient place to put a bobbin.

Thanks Steve. I'd already looked at that. Shockie mount is too high (or stand is too short). The axle nuts and the exhaust trumpet get in the way anyway.

Ideal spot is the underside of the swing arm, so it's a swing-arm out job to weld some lugs on it. Should get to it in the next day or two.
 
No Piet, just the unimportant bits, you know - sump plug, cam box, cam chain adjuster, oil filler plug!

Just joking. The bits I don't need for short circuit racing.

Robin  ;) ::) :LOL:
 
Walked past it about 60 times getting access to the reticulation controller as I serviced the bore, reticulation lines and sprinklers, and serviced the mower before mowing the block. Tomorrow with any luck, and if all the stars align I might find the time to get the thing back on the hoist and find out why it is suddenly running like a pig and won't shift higher than 2nd. 

After that I will swap bikes on the hoist and try to find out why the LeMons has decided it wants to burn oil.

It is all joy with old bikes, eh?
 
Sad but also happy day. Once more Jenny is nothing but a big pile of bits but,😢.......engine on a palate ready to ship off to keith to become a rip snorting 100bhp+ lump.😀 Next time it's in one piece it'll be to start her up for the first time in twenty years. Whoop whoop. Word

Ah, so he's turning it into a 120? :D

Adjusted the footpegs on the RGS today- 20 degrees or so made a big difference.  Nine days until it goes back on the road (weather permitting) (bikebend)
 
Well after a few weeks of stripping the wiring out of the 750GT I finally finished rewiring her and miracles it worked first go!!

So she got a bath and all back together including replacing a missing lower engine mount bolt that I noticed was missing when I replaced the neutral switch wire.

I took her for a ride and so much better minimal vibration, idling and pulling along nicely.

Cheers

Yep it's true folks. I've finally been caught on camera fixing the bike on a run. Not a club run though.... An exhaust header clamp nut had fallen off. I thought maybe the mufflers mount nuts might fit but no they were too small. So what do I get to replace these on this side of town?

I think there a real odd size,7mm Brass. Not easy to get except for Laverda spares. I think there the same size as the rear wheel adjuster bolts.
 
and Citroen 2cv dealers
I have made  extended dome nuts from 11mm brass hexagon bar, which are both easier to get on and off and being that bit longer, might aid exhaust port cooling, but because they are domed, the exposed thread of the stud does not go rusty and they are much easier to drill and then lock wire together for safety

Drikko if there is a BMW dealer in your neck of the woods you could try them for these exhaust manifold nuts
