Ciao Maurizio,

the Lecram's answers are right; Lecram is an expert on the gauges!

In this forum you'll find all the answers for your questions.

But if you have difficulties to translate or you dont understandt something, please call me as in the past.

I'm very happy to help you, but you will find on this forum all the help that you need, but more more and more over your imagination.

In the restoration I want demounting the engine.
Before this operation I'd like to turn on the engine and hear the sound.
What do You think?

During the verify all parts I saw that is missing the switch off.
Yamiya have not this part, and I would know if I can buy only this small part from another vendor.
You know where I can buy this part?

solved,solved,solved,solved,solved,solved,solved,

I checked the question with my friend Riccardo.
Riccardo said me that, probably, there is a hole near  front forks.
Excuse me but for me is difficult to find the tecnical words.
however I insert some picture for better explain.

What do You think?

Maurizio

The glass are broken
One plastic box is broken (but I can resolve)
After the disassembly I can check that also the metal base are went.

In the following picture You can see also the gift that I have received during the disassembly
