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

Great stuff Rob, finally let it out of jail. One SFC I serviced had the bloke pissed off because it idled, reckoned that it was a racing bike and I must have de-tuned it to get it to idle as it never had before.

Another of those stupid myths...

All comes down to decent carburation and suitable ignition timing.

A big trend among Inflowencers is flame tunes, where unburned fuel explodes in flames out of your exhaust, accompanied by popping sounds. Apparently, sounding like your engine is about to explode is a good thing.

At the other end of the spectrum i had an owner asking me to 'be careful' because I was blipping the throttle of his green frame while setting idle mixture after a tune and service ... and probably hitting the valve-bounce heights of ... 4,000rpm. Lucky for him he wasn't there when I had it on the dyno - but I did make a point of giving it the berries when I took off from the workshop for a test ride, making sure he was watching and listening :cool:

Just got home after a 50 mile run.
Running fantastic.
Included a bit of adventure riding
10 kays of pea gravel!! to visit my cow farmer mate. Reckon my SFC has done more "adventure riding" than most GS1250 BMs🙂

Brilliant! I guess just showing off that anything an Aussie can do on a Jota you can also do on an SFC. So what’s your next trick??? 😜

Re-Painted exhausts fitted and repacked with new sound proofing.
I decided to pay a little bit of a tribute to the man who built it, Phil Todd.
Phil if you see this and you’d rather not have your name on it please let me know and I’ll remove it.👍

I’m glad to see the bike arrived okay and you’ve already tidied it up a bit. It should make a great little ride around some of the roads in your neck of the woods. And I’m also fairly sure Phil won’t mind your tribute. He was quite chuffed to be reunited with the bike at Willersey a couple of years ago.
 
Thoughts !!!!!!!!
Leave the new oil tray/belly pan black and put Laverda stickers on it that match the tank badge OR
Paint it orange and put the same stickers on it.
I’m of 2 minds so what is the consensus?IMG_0588.jpeg
