  1. Not mine, but might be of some use to a Scura or Tenni owner who wants to replace the original clutch and flywheel. Seems cheap too. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  2. I have no experience of Peru, but how about a Yamaha XT225 Serow? Low seat, light weight, rugged and reliable. https://www.loisontheloose.com/ Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

    The CCM GP450 has the front sprocket at the pivot as you mention. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  4. Hi Paul. I thought I had no. 16, but I could be wrong. There isn't a number plate on mine, but it came from Aberdeen in 2014. Congratulations on the new bike. I'm not far away-in Guisborough. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  5. There's a Harley Davidson textured paint that is meant to be similar. I bought a touch up pen some time ago after someone recommended it, but I haven't tried it yet. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  6. Maybe check the throttle cable on the left hand side. It can come off the (semi ) circular cam. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  7. Top pictures. Scenery looks amazing. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  8. I haven't got access to them at the moment. Try to fit it and see. That's the best test. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  9. What Docc has just posted is correct as far as I know. I ordered a 6 speed RAM for my Tenni, but was sent a 5 speed one. At the time I didn't realise it could be made to work and sent it back. In hindsight, I could have used my existing clutch hub and swapped the clutch pushrod cup over from the original single plate clutch. I sourced the parts for a 2 plate clutch and a new clutch hub.

  10. Have you checked the diameter of the cup the pushrod actuates against the diameter of your clutch pushrod? I found a 5 speed RAM clutch had the wrong size for a V11. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  11. I haven't heard of one of these before: Ipothosys Aria v12 on Ebay Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  12. If you search, I posted pictures of the different clutch hubs together and you'll be able to see the differences. I changed a Tenni single plate to a double plate, which necessitated buying a different clutch hub. If you really want a RAM single plate clutch in a 6 speed you might be able to pick a clutch hub up from someone who's done the same switch. I'm keeping hold of mine to keep my options open in the future. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

  14. It is probably possible to get the alloy (cracking) single plate flywheel remade in steel. It's a pretty simple shape. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  15. The centre 'button' of the 5 speed has to be replaced with the one already fitted to your Guzzi 6 speed too. This means you have to dismantle the ready assembled RAM unit. The 5 speed pushrod has a smaller diameter. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  16. Have you tried checking and resetting valve clearances to 0.15 and 0.20 mm.? This got rid of a hesitation/cough on my Tenni Le Mans.
  17. I did the same conversion on a Tenni. Used second hand 2 plate clutch and new clutch hub. I used the original pushrod. There are some posts and pics where I recorded this. The parts you have look correct. I listed the part numbers on a picture. The pushrod 'button' can shift/slip during reassembly. I had to take it apart and put it together again because of this.

  18. I believe KTM own Husquvarna now. I read a couple of comparisons between the KTM 690 and the 701 that suggest that the latter has smoother fuelling and less vibration. I'll have to have a sit on them, if I can reach!I had an R100GS for quite a long time and I miss the opportunity to take the odd off road excursion. There are quite a few permissive byways nearby on the North York Moors to explore. Betas are street legal here. I lingered and lost out on a 'good as new' Beta X Trainer 300 last week for £4000. I think the KTM Freeride is a similar concept. Another alternative that's a bit more oldschool, and less expensive, is a Suzuki DRZ 400. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  19. That looks a great ride. There was one of those on EBay UK recently that had a nice looking fairing fitted. You should be able to see it if you look at completed listings. How tall is the seat? Would I struggle at 5'8"? I've been looking around for a similar type of bike recently, maybe a KTM 690 Enduro or a CCM GP450. I also quite liked the look of the Beta X Trainer 300.

  20. I can see it now. The low mileage is a novelty, and it looks well preserved, but as Scud says, there are known issues to sort out. To switch the clutch to a twin plate is quite an expense unless you get lucky with second hand parts. I do think it's a question of 'when' rather than 'if' with the aluminium flywheel. My Tenni flywheel had the early signs of radial cracking at around 12 000 miles. The silencers do look a little 'low slung'. I've got the carbon wrapped Lafranconis and they are higher at the rear. No doubt it would appreciate in value if you parked it up for a few years. The premium is in the low mileage and that's gone as soon as you start using it. I think the price is a bit steep. I think around £5500 would be right.

    You can tell by the rattle! One type rattles with the clutch pulled in. One rattles with the clutch released. Just can't remember which is which. Scud will know. There's a thread somewhere commenting on just this. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  23. I'll have a couple (in UK). Thanks to Scud and Chuck for their time and effort with this.
  24. Vaguely connected. Here's a photo of my 1973 MK III masquerading as a Desmo. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  25. There's also an email list called 'Bevelheads' that you can subscribe to. Very knowledgeable, but not the most accessible discussion group.
