One of the things I did not like about my recently acquired Morini was the clutch - it was very "binary", some say "they all do that sir".

Long story short the Morini Riders forum is a wealth of knowledge, I asked the question and had a lot of very useful hints and tips.

The biggest tip related to the steel plates - one of the plates is slightly cupped and must be fitted in the correct position in the clutch plate stack.

Mine was fitted as per the workshop manual, which is wrong, moving it to the correct position worked wonders.

The clutch is now pretty user friendly, being a dry clutch I guess it will be a little fiercer that what I am used to.

One of the benefits of the dry clutch is maintainance - only took about 1/4 of an hour to take the plates out and swop them around.

Quite enjoying the bike, very stiff suspension, but handling is superb, taking some time to get used to the RH gearchange, it also makes a lovely sound.

Feels a bit over braked, the double discs at the front are very sharp, and the rear is a bit too good !

Only thing I have to attend to now is making an extension for the rear brake pedal as it is not quite wide enough. The kickstart pushes your leg out to the edge of the footrest and you have to swing your foot around to contact the pedal, I like the pedal under my boot so will be welding or clamping on a short extenstion.

All good fun.
