Nice bikes - they look like they require a frequenlty used tool kit though
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

I do all of the servicing on my bikes and have even stripped the engine on the Superlight after getting the occasional wisp of blue smoke from the right hand exhaust ,most people wouldn't have bothered but decided to investigate it.I also swapped an engine and rebuilt another on someones Laverda 668 after it dropped an exhaust valve.
I think the Laverda 668 produces it's max power at 9000rpm but also blows up at 9000rpm.
