Exporting a bike or car from Italy was not easy and now more complex.

The item has to be deregistered from their system and you need to provide proof as to where it's going and having done it it's not easy .

• Falcone primary oil seal - 3 Updates

Falcone primary oil seal

Alan Comfort <alan.c...@gmail.com>: Nov 09 04:10PM -0800 sometimes I take a great notion to sell everything: sports cars, old trucks, vintage motorcycles, then take the cash to Italy, buy a Sport 15, do a little touring, and ship it home. Less insurance, less maintenance and less trouble for the heirs when I fall off the perch.

No oil needed in the clutch case. It gets enough oil mist from the oil that bypasses the felt "seal. Any excess oil will result in the left leg of your trousers being waterproof.If your clutch is dragging or slipping, a quick rinse or two with kerosene in the clutch case will help. If slipping or dragging persist a half turn on the clutch spring holder might help. No joy?

dryde...@aol.com <dryde...@aol.com>: Nov 10 01:11PM The only neutral on my Converts was holding the clutch lever in.  What worked quite well for me was an inch cut off the end of an empty plastic caulking gun tube. Workes on my Ercole also. Slips right on and doesn't require adjustment or tying.

Sometimes just  kicking over on stand , in gear and with clutch held in was enough.         On 9 Nov 2025, at 17:41, Alan Comfort <alan.c...@gmail.com> wrote:       Try using the starting lever and the clutch lever in conjunction with one another to help break the friction if the bike has been sitting a while.
