Well worth the visit. Guzzis predominated. Some well used 70s and 80s Guzzis and a very nice Magni. More new than old Ducatis present and a couple of Morinis, but no Laverdas that I noticed. Only one V11 other than my Tenni. Lots of very nice Ferraris, Maseratis, Alfas and a few Lancias too. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

That looks great. It's a real period piece. You need some 80s style leathers with geometric patterns for full effect. It's nice to see one that's still original. So many have been 'restyled' as home made cafe racers, there can't be many left like yours. I had a Le Mans III in the 90s. When I got the V11 I was surprised how different the power delivery was. The MK III seemed more 'flexible', delivering 'go' across the rev range, with gear selection less critical. By comparison, the VII has to be revved and requires more rider input.

The clutch pushrod on the 6 speed is wider than on the 5 speed. Hence the requirement to use the original button/cup. I rode my Tenni with the single plate and the twin plate. While the 'feel' of the single plate was preferable, there's not a lot in it. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

I priced it. I didn't buy it. I got a 2nd hand one myself. As has been discussed in previous posts, the RAM unit wasn't available for the 6 speed-though Scud did manage to source one. It wasn't available for a long while, though it may be now. I think it is possible to make the 5 speed RAM unit fit using the original single flywheel clutch centre and centre 'button' (the part the pushrod contacts). At the time Pete Roper also warned that the RAM unit might wear quickly. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

It's the £150 one that I meant. The expensive stuff is there. I priced up new parts when I needed to replace mine and it was close to £2000. The flywheel alone was close to £1000 IIRC. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

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

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

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

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

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

Top pictures. Scenery looks amazing. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

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

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.

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

I haven't heard of one of these before: Ipothosys Aria v12 on Ebay Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
