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

Tightened down sump plate and primary cover this morning. Those gaskets have a lot of yield.
Back on with adavance mechanism and points plate which I tightened down as per the marks made before dismantling. Will check timing later.
Took off gear selector and triangular cover to see why I was missing 3rd so often. Didn't see anything so it'll stay as it is. Problem with a selector fork or selector drum? I won't be opening those cases unless there's a catastrophe before I retire in a years time. Filled up with fresh oil which will be drained before going down to Italy in September.

Took the brand new Aprilia out into french and bekgian Flanders, about 120 km in all.

Not just today but all week...

Checked valve clearances - dropped cam block washer down the cam chain tunnel.

Off with exhaust system, needed an oil change anyway, fished out washer with a magnet.

Then let cam chain slip off wire and into the cam chain tunnel abyss. Fished out with wire from top thru to bottom.

Re-shimmed a couple of valves that were a bit tight, re-torqued head bolts.

Fresh oil - ready for first spring ride tomorrow.

Made a list of item to call Wolfgang for.

Went for a ride in the rain this morning. Was loverly and not hot....Nice. got home, let it cool down a bit. Did an oil change and checked the filter...Nothing in it and only a light smeer of grey on the magnetic plug. Adjusted the primary chain, only needed about 1/8th extra turn from when red replaced it 2000ks ago. All good! Can't think of anything else I need to do before I head down to BSFOS. Oh bugger that's right I'm not going :(
