<-=- Club Bevel Heaven -=->

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.

My error, indeed it has got a 40 spoke rear wheel.
Must've mistaken it for a 350-500 GTL wheel.
Or just brainfade, or my four girls driving my crazy.

Again my sincerest apologies for this mistake.

Sure hope You did orde the correct one ?

It could be that procedures were a bit changed since the 80's but when I had my rims anodised then, they came out rather dull, and CERTAINLY not so shiny as a polished or chromed rim. Rear wheel2.jpg I had two sets, and the other set is just the same, rusted discs but everything else is dusty. No co...

From memory now : both the drumbrake and the sprocketcarrier have the inside triangular shaped. The width of that shape is what keeps the bearings (2 in each) apart, therefore the spacer that is fitted is at least 0.1 mm longer and probably 0.5 mm. The shape of the spacer on the outside of the carri...

Since the Honda 750 was meant for the worldmarket and "safety-features" in the states were very strict, I really doubt that the taillight was japanese. The form is such that it would rather be on a 125 Italian bike from the 80's, with slim single-seats and very light weight to perform in the SP125 c...

It could be a leak in the intake between carb and manifold/head. Didn't You mention cracked rubbers between manifold and head ? Or on some of the newer type manifolds : the rubber ring between manifold and head. The plastic bushing between carb and manifold that is split and doens't seal properly. c...

Just a distancepiece between the bearings.
Grease to keep it relative in place, as is the ring.
