ahell Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 (edited) I found this bike 2 years ago. I like big alloy frame bikes and the 311 is an interesting model. Not a design masterpiece , not fashion bike, but cool. The bike is in good condition. Let start by the wheels. Cleaning everything, paint job, new bearings (I love working on wheels) I have a brand new platics set. The engine need paint job (main bearings, seals, maybe piston will be replaced) Marzocchi shock need full service. Every rubber parts will be replaced as usual on +20yo bikes ... (carburator, fork, hose, seals, grips, tyres... ) Calipers and master cylinder will be restored. I hope you enjoy Alain from France.

ahell Posted February 28 Author Report Share Posted February 28 I replace all synthetic parts wherever possible on all motorcycles I restore. I couldn't find an intake pipe. It's done. The same goes for the clutch cable and the exhaust pot heat shield. Ideally, I would find a silencer. Otherwise, I will do the repairs on mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahell Posted April 5 Author Report Share Posted April 5 (edited) I found a new cylinder - piston assembly. (but without the rings) Although I haven't opened the engine yet, I jumped at this chance. These original parts are difficult to find. I found the upper ring at one dealer and the lower ring at another. It gives you an idea of the puzzle of restoring these motorcycle. I will sell my complete (old but good) top engine. It will make someone happy. Edited April 6 by ahell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahell Posted April 11 Author Report Share Posted April 11 (edited) I made a pair of intake & exhaust caps. (I don't regret buying a lathe) Washing in an auto center. I insisted on the painting which was going away. (I'm going to repaint all that) Back home, drying. Disassembly with no other surprise than 2 cylinder studs in love with their nuts. The cranckshaft is beautiful. No rust from what I saw. The connecting rod looks good. The ignition housing is well ventilated. No rust at all. Just dust.
