here you find datasheets from all sensors used at a guzzi. They even have a tps check tool for 80 pound. http://www.mmcompsys.com/motorsports_sensors_position.html

that small thing isn't as part, but the whole thing should be no more than 15 euro.

I just tested, there is a code people have to typeover, and they have to give an email and get there the registration validation, and use that to have a usefull account. So that's not the problem for them. So or they realy register, and wait for the email, or they have found a way to register and post without the validation. I checked they all come from a different ipaddress. The way it's done is allways the same.

well to replace the original, send them a mail: http://www.hmb-guzzi.de/ they bought all overstock v11 parts from factory. They sell them for 139 euro. I can't see if he has the miles version too. Just ask.

Murray, the one in front on your bike is only for the display, and does nothing to the ecu. The air temperature sensor and the head temp sensor should have almost the same resistance when bike is cold. The name oil temperture sensor is used from the beginning by guzzi, i suppose because the first electrical drawings from marelli were for a car. For the ecu, the oil temp isn't interesting, but the head is, that's where it sends its mixture.

Sorry, I don't like it. It makes the bike even more a checkerd flag. All black and red pieces. You had better painted the tail red. And maybe the back part of the front wheel mudgard. So the red parts come toghether.

best to have the bike on a stand, and support the egine a bit so the front wheel has allmost no weight on it. That makes it easy to get it on again.

leafman60, if the twin plates did fail at the same rate, guzzi would not exist anymore. At least 3 % have failed. Guzzi now builds 10.000 a year, so 300 bikes a year would fail. How long would they survive?

black and white are different make, and have different ratio, is a NO GO. Unless you like to take the whole gearbox in pieces to change the speedogear:-)

I've seen a movie of one. But what does it do better than a simmilar scooter? Yes it has the looks of something different, and I understand that at the trafic light you don't need you feet on the road. But what else for commuting?

well the cooler brackets aren't the best :-)

First we had Pete making the plates, now I came across the more extreme part of australian oilsump making: But they make realy nice products: http://www.are.com.au/ I love the alu radiators

these don't look to be a big problem to make a few out off sheet steel? Yours are the alu ones? newer ones are steel.

Yes a sump, and thats all space left when the exhaust needed to go somewhere. They don't need the sump as cooling unit, because the engine has water and oil coolers.

just click the logo in my signature..

well, it can work, but then you need to add a pump and filter under the tank. I still make the tails. For the windscreen, the big difference is that the cappa has the fairing not moving with the forks, but mounted on the frame, that akes it very different, it sits more up front, to give the bar the space to move. This isn't easy to change, you need to change a lot of parts

the best naked 1098 picure:

well the back mounting of the tail is a little different, but that can fit. The tank doesn't have the pump/filter inside as the coppa has. And the coppa tank is flat on top, where the old ones have a screwed on piece. I would look for a >2003 tank to switch. They are on ebay from time to time. But get the coppa, you will find someone why wants to exchange with you. Or you have figured out to keep the coppa parts to bring it back original if you want?

why not just get it welded for the moment?

here is the whole movie: http://link.brightcove.com/services/player...bctid=877028569

the bolts were stil really tight?

I still have original ones after 12 years, no problem. But someone else took a good look and he sugests that the angle of the bodies and the intake is not the same, so there is tension all the time. Try to dimount the fixed rod between the bodies and see where they want to go.

sidestand switch? Or one of the multipole connectors under the tank not tight?

the aftermarket ones work as good as the original, NOT. Just imagine a rotating wheel, with water on, how does it loose it's water,

it's of not much use, discussed here often. Also some ( homebrew ) alternatives.
