G'day folk's Fiscally I'll never be a wealthy man... Comfortable - oh yeah! But.... Thanks to motorcycling and the memories, plus the ones to come.... I am and will be wealthy beyond any measure! Cheers Ps such is the overwhelming passion we feel the need to share it amongst ourselves.....for no one else understands!! Ride /live/love and be happy Cheers Guzzler Pps maybe I shouldn't post after 4 x glasses of shiraz...

i was doing some routine maintenance type stuff and remembered that i had bought the hex nut screws to hold the TPS in place. very carefully i removed one of the torx screws only to realise that the second TPS screw was not really screwed down and the TPS, well fell out of place. bike is a 2002 scura that was, shall we say, neglected for at least 5 years before i started the restoration. from the look of the torx screws the TPS has never been reset, still covered in the factory yellow paint. After some messing about i have got the bike running again but i have no idea how well the TPS is set. i dont have a caspers harness to check and reset it but i do have a multimeter and some patience, if i run out of patience i can nick some of my sons ritalin. any tips on what i should do next? can you get a TPS reading with just a multimetre? this was not what i had planned for my sunday morning - Anyone in the brisbane australia region who knows how to set a TPS?

fixed the problem!! i poorly worded the question, i was looking for alternate ways to get a reading off of the TPS, as i dont yet have one of those casper harnesses and am very green when it comes to electrics. After a lot of if messing about i finally stuck some guitar string into the connection and with a combo of clamps was able to get a proper reading on the mulitmeter. the setting was at 14 mv when i finally got it working. Then after much more fiddling i got it to the magical 157. put it all back together and the bike is now starting and idling much better. i'm now firmly of the mind if its stupid but it works, its not stupid. next up is waiting for the connector cables to have a look at the fuelling.

Ouch!! Oh and just to shadow @docc reply, the Magni Sporti is a little different in it's drive shaft set up, but ocassionally if I've buggered up there I sometimes get a noise from it, more of click than a rattle but I hear it irrespective of clutch engagement. Apologies if you know all this and these answers are blindingly obvious, but I don't know how well you know the bike. I don't know the 6 speed box as all my bikes have the ancient 5 speed. If it was me I'd try to eliminate the obvious prior to tearing it apart, especially as it's the "summer" (although up here in Jockland you'd never know it)

Ha ha I should have known they'd become a big deal in my life when as a kid I'd pedal like buggery on my treadlie ( bicycle ) then stop and enjoy the sensation of speed with no effort ( for a brief moment )! It was a long wait till age 17 and my first motorcycle..... Jeez was it that long ago? Cheers Guzzler Ps wow I'd have loved a bike at 13 mate, my folks were not all that chuffed with the idea of them but thankfully didn't stand in the way of me getting one when I could afford it.

From the top surface of the shift lever to the top hole is about 45mm on the original, and 50mm on the Extender replacement

We are all accustomed to the clutch plate rattle changing with the lever in versus out, but I've never held in my clutch lever and rolled the bike listening for noise. This would have me inspecting the driveshaft yokes and U-joints . . .

Fairing back from clear coating, yes l like her. 23c here today, nice. IPA time here. Cheers Tom. Sent fra min SM-A525F via Tapatalk

If only for the unfortunate pronunciation of Guzzi, and Motocyclette Certifiée non conforme, this is trulya work of art and dedication!
