la grignoteuse de kilomètres

bonjour
je voulais parler des qualités de la falcone (certaines relevées
dans la presse de l'époque) machine italienne si particulière ,
atypique , souvent appelée la grignoteuse de kilomètres , anti
gadget , sans accessoire superflu sauf peut être son compte tour
qui ne sert uniquement qu'a vérifier que le ralenti se situe
bien entre 100 et 200 tr/ mn au plus bas , robuste , construite
pour durer , son bruit , son faible prix de revient en font une
machine attachante de liberté d'indépendance pour communier avec
la nature qui nous entoure en roulant le plus lentement possible
pour que ça dure le plus longtemps possible
falconistement vôtre

Excellent synthesis that fully expresses how to ride and enjoy
the spirit of the NF 8) ;)

For the non-French speakers amongst us, and courtesy of Bing:
"Hello
I wanted to talk about the qualities of the Falcone (some
recorded in the press of the time) Italian machine so peculiar,
atypical, often called the nibbler of kilometers, anti gadget,
without superfluous accessory except maybe its turn account
which does not serve Only that a check that the idle is well
between 100 and 200 rpm at the lowest, sturdy, built to last,
its noise, its low cost of return make it an endearing machine
of freedom of independence to commune with the nature that
surrounds us in Rou As slowly as possible so that it lasts as
long as possible
Falconistement Yours"
Yes, I agree with Randall - that just about sums it up, although
I don't understand "turn account which does not serve"

I wouldn't run the idle really low as as far as I can make out
no oil goes to the cambox until the idle is up in the range of a
normal brit single. The bypass valve doesn't come into play
until the pressure comes up with a few more revs. Leastways my
single smoked copiously at very low revs after I fitted the
additional oil feed. Once I raised the revs slightly to the
same as my sidevalve singles it stopped smoking. At what revs
the bypass comes into play would entirely depend on the efficacy
of one's oil pump. Of course if one's pump was poor in the first
place then it might never smoke at all. Just a thought....

with all due respect for the considerations made,
according to my personal opinion, the smoke is due to the wear
of the valve guides

I think you're right Randall, but as it only occurred after
fitting the oil feed, it does suggest there wasn't any oil
reaching the valve gear with the stock lubrication system

That's correct Banquo;
I just note that on my NF Carabinieri, with motor in perfect
conditions and additional oil line fitted , he does not smoke,
meanwhile on my NF Civile ,with tired motor , and additional oil
line, he does smoke a lot

Yes, agreed: mine had very worn guides after only 25,000 km, and
no smoke, but then I had this, demonstrating there was no oil
reaching the inlet rocker.

You can't really see the wear in this photo, but the guide was
oval, and there was a lot of rocking between the stem and the
guide.
