iconic558 Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) Guys thanks for your help, I'm now the owner of a 1980 TL320.,,.brought her back at 1pm....stripped down by 5pm ready for powder coating and refit.No nasty surprises but a few things I've noticed:Gearing seems high....running 14/40 at the moment.....thinking of going to a 13 front.Clutch is light, positive and I can get nuetral too...easier than my my Beta REV3! But there is no undertank lever lightener system....cable goes from lever direct to clutch cover.Shes a little crackly on the noise front....is it possible to repack the silencer....which weighs more than boat anchor?Trans oil.....10/40?Any advise welcome Edited December 6, 2014 by iconic558 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pschrauber Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 To the sprockets original the rear is using 38 and the front sprocket 13 teeth, still a "fast" gearing. I switched now to 38 rear and 12 front, wich works good, now I use second more and first only for thight curves. Transmission oil, I personal use Elf HTX 740 in all my bikes standard ATF works too, you need some amount around 1,2 Liter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b40rt Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Clutch lightening system only much later, yours should be straight to cover. Gearing as per pschrauber, (Patrik) Oil1.2 l but you can also try 5/30. Silencer, cut a plate out back of 1st box and repack around cleaned perforated tube.

pschrauber Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) Great outcome very sanitary, but ... I personal do not like the fasteners of the sidepanels and rear fender to name two places and would change them. Why not use these screws which rounded head which are called round headed bolts, these fits much better to the bike and were of the type SWM used back in the day, you get them in steel and stainless steel: Forgot to name them in German: Becherschraube, (try google / fleabay) Edited December 7, 2014 by pschrauber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
