Really? That's weird. I get PM'd all the time. No matter email me at. motomoda dot roper @ gmail dot com

Prince played the best Super Bowl performance ever.. in the purple rain even.

That was one of Mark at Guzzi Classics little jokes.

Ok, thanks for the info. I haven't got the carrier yet (coming soon...) but I do already have a set of similar panniers. When I get the carrier and get them mounted, I'll post a photo of mine. Could take a few weeks.... Mick

Mark changed out the ignition switch and harness After I told him that was the first place to look. It quit Blowing the fuse after that. Talking into the phone..

^^^^^^^^^^^^ this! Epic performance! https://youtu.be/-WYYlRArn3g

@80CX100 I really appreciate your perspective. I will make my order later this week, waiting for a few vendors to respond to my request. I did already order the upgraded MGC OEM cable. I believe they are out of stock, but they still took my order money so maybe it's just a matter of them having a request before they fill it. I hope to hear back from them this week.

It actually scared me, but seems exhaust not connected, handlebars a little of, so back to normal now. Cheers Tom.

"If" there is a possibility of a method of repair using known quality supplies, you "might' want to consider it,idk. I'm definitely not a cable expert,I've only ordered & replaced a few over the years,but even buying from respected suppliers specializing in MGs, there's always been issues with quality or fitment. I've purchased throttle cables for one of my Tontis from a well known US supplier;the cable & casing was of a low quality, slightly smaller and I had to do a mcgyver shim job to make it work,because the inner cable was too long. Recently I purchased a throttle cable from Germany for my V11;same deal, cable and casing were inferior quality,slightly smaller and the inner cable was so long,even with creative shimming and adjustment,,, I couldn't make it work. I ended up mcgyering my old oem cable instead. All that to say,buyer beware when it comes to cables. If there is a quality repair work around that you do using oem pieces with known quality parts/supplies, that "may" be an option to consider. fwiw fyi

Yes it is. I've messaged Doc about it no problem I've just emailed you about gearbox

Played Prince's 2009 Montreaux Jazz festival performance last night. Forgot how smoking hot it was. Maybe my favorite.

Imo...Send it to Pete, obviously its the gearbox right? ...and put a new clutch in while you have it out, best time to eliminate that potential problem (I assume you have the aluminum flywheel?). Best of luck!!

Or just leave it to the fellows with the special tools? I admit it would be tempting to have a look inside . . . These are the nefarious recall parts: Otherwise, as @pete roper said, "Perhaps the nuts on the end of the shafts have loosened/spun off? That was the issue with the last V11 box I was buggering about with . "

My drawing is probably a bit misleading as it was an attempt to portray classic "crabbing" of the frame. Last time my gearbox came out, the motor was supported, front end strapped tightly into the wheel chock, and light straps to support the upper frame from the pannier racks. I did not even have to remove the frame side plates . . .

There is some hi-tech info there. Cutting edge, 2003 . . .

I don't suppose we'll know much more until Pete gets "buggering about with it " . . .

The ground wire from the battery to the transmission bolt is the forum original 'service this ground first' point. Cleaned and sanded and de-ox'd. I then took another wire, same gauge, from that bolt forward to the frame about mid way with the same 'treatment' at connections. From there, same gauge wire forward to the r/r case. Overkill maybe... I do that

Is the casing still good ? All you need is the inner ?

10a or 10ga ?
