Check the steering head bearings. Mine were dry which made the steering heavy. My carbs also needed rebuilding, but kits are available. I got the conti pipe from Ian Gowanloch in Australia. The bike has since been sold and I now ride a Cagiva Gran Canyon :)
I love the throttle. Takes more than 1/4 turn so it isn't too sensitive for my clumsy hands! It is a twin pull, not push pull. I had to mount it with the cables facing forward, I tried to have them facing down but they interfered with the fairing when I turned the handlebars.
Hey, thinking in getting that throttle and switches for my Honda, would you recommend them? Are the two cables pull or "push/pull"? Is it 1/4 turn? Shouldn't the cables be pointing downward? Thanks.
Rolling the tyre backwards: the best way to know your bike's in neutral. Sorry! XD Great seeing them banging around!
Very nice example you have there!
Nice restoration work.
Thanks. Mostly just paint, polish and a vision in my head of what I wanted it to look like!
Sounds amazing. I'm considering getting one. Any good advice ? Cheers from Denmark

nice movie
The carb "issue" was actually a fuel tank issue. It wasn't venting and was pressurising the fuel system enough to push out one of the carbs!
noooby100 that a common issue with these bikes. Just bought an 87' Cagiva 650 and the carbs need balancing. How did you figure out it was your tank?
