Last weekend, up in the Alps at walking distance from Gavia, Stelvio and some other nice places. Weatherforecast wasn't too good, temperatures dropping to the mid twenties and intermittend showers. Not good if the only stuff we had were two bikes (nothing petrol nor electric) and walking gear. So we...

I think We can find the reason in the first sentence : Rolled the bike out today for the 1st time after a fresh engine rebuild With new clutchplates and springs and a new setup (extented lever) it was SURE to get exciting :-D :-D Give the plates some time to oil up and VERY probably it will become s...

Is it possible totake the whole system off the bike ? Then You could position it so that the air flows out on itself. Later You can put a little pressure on the master, the bubbles get smaller and flow faster. I made sure the "business-end" of the piston was VERY smooth, same for the lever and apply...

NIce bike
Now get it on the road

Yes, it does interfere with the geometry. Luckily the geometry of a Darmah is such that You have to do very stupid things before You get into the dangerzone. Fitting 16" Montjuic wheels ( with 120/160 tires) made it tuck in heavily and made it VERY prone to aquaplaning. But why bother ? With my 18" ...

Before taking the cover off : check if the pressureplate is getting lifted evenly. Put the bike on the stand, clutch in and kick a few times 'till it's loose. Then put it in gear, pull the clutch and wiggle a bit with the rear wheel. If it's better, chance the clutch will have to undergo some checki...

NICE work
You would almost say Wiseco forgot to machine them before putting them in the box.
Keep up the good works.

In the perfect factory where Guido could take his time to shim the gearbox perfectly, the six-dog would work perfectly for the rest of it's owners life. But when the three shafts' shimming is on the sloppy side, AND worst case scenario, the dogs get rounded and gears go popping out. It takes a few h...

Does it REALLY have to come off ? or is it just to fix the broken screw ? It should stay on and not leak with one bolt missing so :roll: If the hex head is gone, there should be no further obstruction to remove the cover. Just the two dowels AND the crankshaft can hold it in place. Options : Some si...

Not convinced
In those days, Black/Gold was a JohnPlayerSpecial set and Italian colors came from the Big Great Red Reservoir in EmiliaRomagna
Still a nice bike though

Looks JUST the right tool to cruise at +100 without getting tired. MPH of course
Without the fairing it would get nasty after an hour
Very Nice bike, really wouldn't change anything except using it

Let's take the spare-parts book of MHR on THE site :-D TAV9 shows the complete bevel factory. #25 is a press-fit on the primary part of #17 and that is a press-fit on #16. There is a key to fix position of #17 to #25 It is possible to dismantle them withouth heavy equipment but it should be a tight ...

It isn't as easy on a springvalve as on the desmo but here's the method. Turn the bevel-shaft of the heads untill the marks on BOTH gears lign up exactly. For one cylinderhead, this is with both valves closed, for the other one valves are open (but in fixed position). AND the Oldhamcoupling should b...

nothing so cool as an engine full of shiny bits
AND it beats staring out of the window.
