Noisy...??? 250 Monza
Posted: Fri Jan 19, 2018 10:49 pm
Hi Guys,
I finally had time to pull my 1965 Monza 250 out onto the lift and finish fettling it.
I had bought a few years ago supposedly "restored" but found a number of issues.....
So I have replaced the fork stanchions and rebuilt the front forks, replaced the rear hub cush drive, and replaced the camshaft bearings and reshimmed the bevel drive etc. (I have a 1929 Velocette KTT race bike which is also OHC bevel drive so not intimidated by it)
Anyway it started right up on first kick after 5 years stored away (in warm dry garage)....
I can appreciate a bevel drive is noisy but it seems quite rattly, which I appreciate is impossible to diagnose over the interweb... However are any of you clever gentleman anywhere near central NJ to be able to swing by and help me diagnose it.?
Or any other advice..?
Thanks Andrew.
