And the Adventure begins. The condition of this Legend from the past is rough. But it's in competent hands. You know what they say, "Misery loves Company". I have watched a lot of this gentleman's shows... For the viewers who have never had a motorcycle like this between their legs, I will leave it to your imagination, respectfully.

My testimony to this Gentleman. Friend, Vince.
It's great to see someone rescuing one of these fine motorcycles from what looks like criminal neglect. I've been riding 750 Laverdas (a '71 SF and a '73 SF1) for over 20 years and they easily compete for the title of best large roadster of that era. Almost without flaw, other than being a bit on the heavy side, but that extra mass brings immense durability and softens the vibrations from the parallel twin. My only quibble with the video is the use of glass bead blasting on the engine. The bead fragments can be very difficult to flush completely, as they are subject to static electricity forces, and the oil filtration system is rudimentary. Laverdas expect regular oil changes.
Hello Eric.😊 I see that you know Laverdas very well. This magnificent engine hanging from the frame, should be displayed in flawless aluminum. I am very aware of the danger and that is why the whole process is done by me. I am extremely meticulous and do a surgical cleaning. It would be long to tell. I always try to improve the oil filtration by replacing the archaic screen with a microfilter. Thank you very much for your interesting comment. My best wishes. Loscar
Maravillosa restauración, como siempre. ¡Como todas sus restauraciones! Cuando era joven y tuve mi primer trabajo importante en FIAT (1971), compré una LAVERDA 750 GT usada. ¡Mi primer amor quedó! Hoy soy demasiado mayor y estas motos cuestan demasiado dinero. Sin embargo, ¡a veces me siento tentado a volverme loco! Felicitaciones Sr. Loscar.
i had a very secondhand SF2 . The cams wore through on their lobes , so I had them built up and reground . I did not like the work really and luckily , as happens sometimes , I was offered some SFC cams . They came with a complete gear set . Anyway , Slaters sold me some matching pistons , which I think your bike has . The bike would lift its front wheel when it decided to ! To tame it I removed the accelerator jets in the carbs .... now it was manageable .... I sold it , wish I had not done that , but babies got born....Doh . Atb
Hee hee !! 🤭 Yes, it is true, and the worst is the surgical cleaning work to remove all the remaining microspheres. Anyway I think this will be the last. I already have too many bikes.
Hi friend. I think you are referring to point 6.24 of the chain sprocket placement and it is to avoid shocks, since the adjustment with the spline of the axle is very strong.
Thank you for showing the steps in reassembling your motorcycle, it so enjoyable to watch. Very skilful 👍

Con questa moto... Mio padre gareggiava in Italia.. Vederla è un tuffo al cuore.
Complimenti per il tuo lavoro perfetto 👍
Sono felice e grazie per il tuo commento. Loscar✌️
Always liked that motor. Like a big Honda CB-72.
It's exactly the same external design . But I don't know which one of the two copied the other ...😁
Perfecto way to resume!

Is the countershaft sprocket a press fit?
