Been a while....how's the Lario going with the elephants feet etc upgraded valvetrain?CheersDave
up and running, tickety boo, revs to moon, now only time will prove how long for but I am confident, first 100 miles awesomepics for chuck, just looks like a v50 with funny plumbing!!
FGDidn’t stay like that for long, plastic Racer tank gave me a couple more litres and 25 odd miles more rangeLe Mans seat saved me some weight , missus won’t like it but actually way better for me , v65 seat was just too short in front section, will fit a v7 seat for 2 up as on my bb.Front guard is same as yours, I just took it back to bare plastic, white is under paintPic as is now,
Yeah that tank would come in handy here, gas stations, especially those that sell premium, are few and far between.I replaced the plastic fenders with steel ones. The front is from a Honda, the back from a Triumph. I hate plastic stuff on a bike!
Funny that, I’ve gone full circle, bought my Le Mans new with plastic front guard and glass seat base/mudguardFitted it and many others with ss front guards .Eventually they cracked, as did T3 etc ss rear guardsOf course the glass seat base survived through hell and backSo, on that I refitted orig plastic guard, about to do same on my uk bikeOn the v65 I had to bog the glass rear where people had drilled extra holes but easy asFront I just got rid of paint and sanded back some road rash scarsLighter and should last forever, I’m back where I startedBut I do hate plastic bits that don’t do anything, didn’t intend to run sidecovers but when I rewired it I found that space where big battery, rectifier etc etc was is perfect for tools, puncture kit , spare gloves, etc. Sidecovers stop it all falling out so they do have function on my bike

I just picked up a Lario 1986 with 10k miles. how can I tell if the valves have been worked on? Is there a simple (look at this) or am I in for a bunch of digging around? I ride very conservatively compared to what I'm reading here. Thanks
It's supposed to being one of the later ones.I might need to pull pistons and look for my self
HA…!Good one.
Well, got the heads off today. Before I did I measured as best I could the cams by dial gauge on the rockers over the push rods. First of all that's a really tricky thing to do when your dial gauge adjusts each axis individually. So side to side they are within 0.1mm of the other side. However I got figures of 5.5mm exhaust and 6.3mm inlet. I'm not sure what they should be.the only sign of any wear so far is one adjuster on the L/H inlet has some marks on it. Everything else appears pristine, however someone has been in at least the L/H side before, head gaskets a different type (colour) and a missing washer on the top stud. Am going to ponder on whether I just do the heads and put it back together, or pull pistons and do the bearings and rings as well. Doing that also apparently gives visual access to the cam
Thanks for that.Yes this weekends job is to remeasure with the rockers remived.Will see what that does. Was really hoping to not have to pull the cam
