I am pleased that you say it is NOT Moriwaki as the only related things appear to be the two types of Moriwaki decals and possibly the lower cowling.
However, it looks a nicely presented bike and may achieve just in excess of the £2k mark. Good Luck with the sale and house move.

taking my life in my hands by questioning the guru here, as Roger knows more about suspension than I can ever imagine ..... but I think he might be thinking about a complete racing fork by Paioli rather than pattern fork legs from Paulo & Franco. Sorry, you are correct. I jumped in too quickly ...

I have no personal experience of the Paulo forks as we did not use them on our BSB race bikes. However, David Heal did, and he had severe handling difficulties. I must emphasise that they were being used under racing conditions . David brought the bike to me and I told him that I considered that the...

Welcome to the Forum
On Sunday the 8th of May I was staying at the Feughside Inn near Banchory and spotted a VTR just driving away as I arrived. Was it you?
I was fishing at Crathes Castle for three days but kept on seeing riders congregating at the hotel.

I agree that the most likely cause is that the rear cylinder is 180 dgs out. It is easily done unless you are familiar with the procedure as the Workshop Manual can be confusing. If you wish to email on roger@revolutionuk.co.uk I will email you back with a simplified instruction sheet. I do not know...

In addition to Tony's excellent advice
Drop the oil pan and remove and inspect and clean the oil pick up filter gauze. This may well be blocked with debris and or "gunge"

Yes I have 0.85kg K tech springs in mine, they are drop in using the standard spacers, I have 10wt oil and 140mm air gap, preload set to 25mm, forks dropped 5mm through, you need to drop front as the springs make the bike sit higher at the front (as standard they sag more), might go down another 5m...

GREAT DAYS WITH A GREAT BIKE

Love the butchery of the cans , could of at least got the pink off them Can you take the colour off the cans :eek2 That would be sacrilege to the great God Moriwaki. WHAT A TRAGEDY!

SADLY NOT ANYMORE !! BOTH VTR AND SP MORIWAKI EXHAUSTS ARE NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATE. HAVE A GREAT DAY

These are the only new Moriwaki Stage1 cams that I know of. I bought the last six sets from Moriwaki and there are none of my batch left. The retail price in the UK was £850.00 GBP. This may be an investment for someone.

Once again thank you guys for all you birthday wishes belated or otherwise

Thank you guys for all your kind wishes.
I plan to be around for some time yet!
Cheers

I raced a Firestorm with Bemsee in 2000, I don't remember Bemsee doing an Endurance series back then, KRC used to do one but I didn't know of anyone doing it.. There was one other storm with Bemsee in 2000 that was silver and also went to IOM, it had 2 fuel tanks welded together one on top of the o...
