Re: Triking Trifles

Hi, as with the calendar, I am late to this discussion. I did not get a copy of the recent Trifles. My email is unchanged so could it please be sent again.
Many thanks, Simon

Re: gearbox issues

Hi everyone, I went back at the gearbox linkage and used a small tie wrap as a shim to reduce slop. After another lengthy fiddle about it seemed to be in neutral and, wonders will never cease, the neutral light came on. I started it up in the garage, pushed into 1st and drove out, whoohoo.A couple o...

gearbox issues

Having finally reassembled the Triking today was the big test. When I started the recent process I suffered from a major brake failure and the gearbox stuck in gear. I ended up with a simple fix on the front brakes, new bleed screws. The back brake required a new master cylinder, rear disc caliper a...

Re: Replacement Dellortos

Hi. As usual my thanks for the advice, it is all adding to the body of knowledge. So following the guidance, I twiddled and tweaked and the engine started immediately without choke but with a little throttle. All seemed ok so I started off on a test trip. I live at the top of a short hill and the ro...

Replacement Dellortos

Having got over my sort out crisis I have finally got Merete together, polished and out into the sun. Initial cranking fired her up with me quickly shutting her down as the fuel was spraying from a joint in the new tubing. Once fixed the engine starts just fine but with an idle of about 1500revs an...

New Battery

Hi In charging the battery it really looks as if I will need a new one. The present on is generic car battery, size group 51, 450 amps. The local parts supply has something similar, Group size 51R, 450CCA. Given that the 950cc guzzi motor is a long way from the battery, a large battery with big cabl...

Re: replacement donor bike

Tony Thank you for your comments, just what I needed to hear. The call of fuel injection, digital management and a really good deal on an excellent bike was pretty loud. You have got me back on track, picking my way through the details of a 40 year machine that was totally rebuilt in 2013 by someone...
