Wanted / For Sale / pipe needed

Not a lot of Italian remembered, but if you go to the left side, "Prodotti", then the next page you want "Parafanghi" and you will see your fenders and braces.

Penton Talk / Vintage Moto cross ?
May 17, 2006, 05:42:25 PM
Big Mac guy,
I'm sure you know this, but as my Jackpiner will attest, in '75 your 200mm Cerianis might not have a rib, but they do have a 200 stamped at the bottom of the slider.
As ever, KTM probably threw whatever was laying on the bench in the crate and didn't worry too much about smooth transitions in product upgrades.
And of course, they didn't make the forks!

Randy, you might want to check out the AHRMA site. They break it all down for you there.
Generally, you are correct, but you will see they have classes beyond that time frame, and provisions for later but similar bikes.

Penton Talk / Jackpiner Case boo-boo
May 13, 2006, 08:24:14 AM
Well, the horror of it is I knew exactly where they go when I saw them.
The problem is that those new bearings don't separate at the race as the originals; so it doesn't come apart as easily.
Do you think heat would help?

Penton Talk / 32 MM Ceraini - Fork Spring Length

Before we got so technical and wise, I used to stretch mine back to length on my Jackpiner, every few months!

Penton Talk / Slipping kickstarter

You guys are great!
I have never adjusted the clutch internally in the thirty-four years I've owned this bike, but that was it!
The third kick, it started.
Thanks,
John

Freddie,
I hear ya, man! My '81 was my favorite bike. Glad to know it will kick modern butt.
If only they had brakes!

John,
Thanks for the input.
It's been about a month since reassembly, and I just got around to the point I could try to start it. I don't recall even changing the spring location. What I do know is that my trans adjustment came out really well--perhaps too well and is causing a bind. Is that possible? It does engage, but just occasionally cranks the engine over. Will check it over with your suggestions in mind and let you know what I find this evening.

Penton Talk / 400 KTM on the Road??
April 26, 2006, 05:14:51 PM
Ah--knobbies on pavement!
Reminds me of a GP at Phoenix International Raceway on my GS6 400. I hadn't road-raced yet so that was fun on the road course and the oval. Well, maybe more like scary. But when you're young 'n dumb...
At least they scooped out some ditches out of the desert and used the water trucks to make mud bogs for us. That made the pavement even more exciting.
John
PS---Mac: My '78 did not come with a PP headlight, but something probably made by Acerbis. It's quite stylish, too. Color-matched to the tank with a yellow number area.

Penton Talk / Jackpiner chain guide
April 25, 2006, 02:54:07 PM
Can't help you with the orientation, Randy, except to say that it would probably be thick-side-down due to wear considerations.
But I can tell you, the chain should always be adjusted at the tighest position, which may be with you on it, but definitely with the c/s, swingarm pivot and rear axle aligned.
