Why have your bike off for months, try giving a call to Agostini and order the part(s) you need(there is English Speaking personel i.e.Peter is Australian).I can assure you they'll have it delivered. Then you can go to a descent dealership with the new parts and fix the bike. AGOSTINI-MG All the best

I see you on the high bid jaap... should I bid too and raise the finnal price?........LMAO .Just kiddong, should be better since you bid more items. Don't worry zischpen has a Guzzi shop so I don't think he'll go for it for much more, because he'll probably want's it for resale.Anything is possible though and other bidders as well. Good luck with bidding

I could try and bid them for you, if I have your answer soon enough, but then you'll have to pay the postage+ transfer money double time!? (one for you to be sent to me and other that I wire the money to the seller-my bank charges 17Eur)+ postage from seller to me and from me to you. Long way,.plus you'll have to tell me what is the maximum amount for you to bid in- postage for this item in Germany is 15Euros , I can't estimate what will be through Europe though sth with 5kg weight is about 26-27 Euros to be send with airmail to Europe+ perhaps some packaging expenses he may charge and then I don't really know the expences for more weight postage also DO increase....... ....Oooops this guy is in Switzerland so I can't tell about post....wait a minute I ask That's airmail and it has an arrival time of 7-10 days (or 5-7bussines days) If it is send with surface mail is about 4weeks arrival time through Europe. Arrival times decrease dramatically for someone that lives in Germany, dunno exact but sertainly the half. Have not done before any deal like this for someone else, but is would be better if there was someone in Germany that was willing to maake this transfer for you 1.Because of faster delivery times 2.Because of less money transfer costs. If there's noe for it I will try and help out, though I'll be at home only for the next 1-1,5 hours thenl I'll have to be out.

That's USD on the auction , what's CDN.

That's not an ebay rule or any rule in any auction on the world. Participation costs can exsist thpugh but only be paid to the host of the auction, in that case is ebay. I guess this has to be reported to ebay, let's say there are 20 bids (different bidders) he will have to demand $10,000 extra!!!!!,that's not right it's a steal I mean absurd. O.K. I'm not carl but though I have the money to get MGS1's I don't appreciatte this bike in this price.Simply because for one reason or other MG changed plans on bringing this to production (with a better price)that doesn't mean we'll have to look deep ito our pockets. And hence the racing kit I don't need 128ps Or a RACING ohlins (if there is one on the bike) for street use. P.S. edit , After looking at the auction he says "A non-refundable deposit of $500.00 is due no later than 24 hours after the end of the auction" ,that's concerning the winning bider not everyone.It is not specified so for anyone bidding it's better to clear this up with the seller.

One of the most important things when riding!!!! Great riders are SMOOTH that's the way to go. Forget what others are doing, concentrate at a smooth safe ride. Speed comes alone without any pushing.

Where can I get a colour matched nose fairing?
Alex-Corsa replied to Guzzirider's topic in Technical Topics
...LOL yes I know/And it's a matter of taste finnaly.Since it is an aftermarket there may be a dismatch of the color y'know so I understood the hassle but if you seek exactness it's better to go this way.Carbon is a nice look , at the other hand having a same color as bike upper part is more harmonic and fits better to the bike giving a "like out of the box" look If it was a fender then it's different, as far as looks go.Only my as a painter artist.As I said before though is also a matter of taste. -
I believe it mostly protects when in 0 speed and or in very low km/h.But this can be also enough, Would you like to hear a story of how much time and money cost me a drop of the bike with 0 km/h 500mile away from home in the midlle of nowhere,without having propper protectors??(=factory ones) I can tell you if you like
-
They'll be making and shipping some more of these this summer. AFAIK 50 pieces,finnally they're going to be a bit more than planned out, according to Agostini's So dig deep into your pockets.....Let me see what do I got here...hmmm
-
I bet assembly (certain dates) and or quality of the product.Regardless suplier (same or not)there can always be a series of defect parts And the right decision is to recall these bikes. Kawasaki has recalled all the ZX-10 because of a problematic front wheel on 2 occasions that broke (a far more dangerous defect though) P.S. As I said it a rule can't be made out of it , but it is also definatelly logic, one not being confident on having this type of clutch.If problematic it can be a big risk.

Alex-Corsa replied to Guzzirider's topic in Technical Topics
Check here Color Rite Then again if you take your bike to a good pro auto-painter and or a PC color fitting shop.I think it won't be a big problem making your bikes colour. Besides , have in mind that: depending on sun exposure , proper care,and time factors, the paint color can desaturate.So ordering a fixed code solor it may have some difference (from quite small virtually unseen by eye to a more recognizable one) -
Well things can go bad ,or good anytime.Actually there is no rule of the thumb if playing it safe or not fur such.You have to know that luck is a factor that cannot be changed, playied,manipulated or controled by none,and actually good luck is the best one can have.We can only do our best and then there is luck (and God of cource) Just have both by your side and then you're safe for sure. :thumbsup:

Well to tell you the truth 6 are not many in how many pieces made with single plate clutch??Maybe there is a some short of minor problem there or wrong maintainance, wrong mechanic service and so on. But personally I belive that 6 occations doesn't make it a rule. The Breva engine has been tested on full throtle on the rolling ramp for 60,000miles , no problem reported, I think that's a serious point.

How much performance are you thinking about or willing to invest. A 2 valve engine can reach a full 125bhp with big bore and other expert modifications i.e.Dynotecbut it will cost just about the value of the bike and perhaps a bit more. A 4V engine can reach even more PS and sure Paul knows more about it. Fast By ferracciOne of the many sites with Guzzi performance parts IMHO Guzzi can be raised a bit on performance and that's all If you're looking for a high performance bike you can either hang on a Ducati or invest big$$$ on a Guzzi and then again is not the same thing.If you know what I mean THe cafe racer is a heck of a good quality Guzzi if you like it go for it
-
First on the right has a 4Valve engine with bigger "blocks" and the second has a 2Valve 1100.( My favorite engine), the rest seem to me like a 850cc and a V50 at the end left.

2002+ V11 Sport Models *DO* Have The Diode
Alex-Corsa replied to al_roethlisberger's topic in Technical Topics
AFAIK why not using the right fuse instead of a diode.? -
I never got over 131 Mp/h with the bike fully unloaded..ROTFLMAO
-
Yep! P.S.edit. Look he sold a 18K bike for just the half price ZX-10 Why doesn't he do the same with the MGS ??. I I would buy it then ...LOL I may just have to waitso he changes his mind.

Alex-Corsa replied to al_roethlisberger's topic in Technical Topics
In plain English??? . Is it working protection or not?.. -
I am aware if that ,the only thing that made me suspisious is that the manual says for the shaft to be replaced every 15,000km (did they forget to add a 0 at the end, os should I worry?)...LOL . OK I maintain the shaft by replacing oil regularly Gearbox and transmission(8,000km - instead of 10,000) also I use the nessesary additive there(back drive) the MOTOREX HPLS and that's all. Any other??

Bought my Guzzi 1200 miles from home, floght to another contry where I have lockation, form this lockation flown againt to the bike location ,bought the bike and rode back to "base" at an 850km tha same day.Then I rode home after some days.Have done touring and is OK max per day 700-800km.My full story here That's on a 1100i Sport,A rosso Mandello vs the Sport is a touring motorcycle, actually that is what it is actually, a sport tourer.It has lots of tourgue and that makes it easy to travel. It also comes to riding experience ,and how the bike fits you in order to ride some miles per day.No matter what the bike is made for or called. I can get for breakfast 200-300km with my bike and anytime a 500km is a joy (assuming the bike and me in fit condition) Now any more info about the built quality of the Mandelo or the condition of the bike I don't have.Perhaps you should consoder some other's comments here that are having relative experiences woth this model.
-
They are waterproof to apoint because if in heavy rain there will always be water passing from the zips so there are these extra black waterproof covers ypu can always use. Quality is excellent with thick long lasting material.

Yoou clould own a knife, it's definatelly more effective in close distances that any (or anyone with) a gun if you expert it.....hhmmm errrr.. Back to the topic , I wish you get your machine back fixed soon and no more s**t like these. I would also suggest to add a pair of good motor block protectors like these,MototSchmitzor even others that are a bit wider.I have installet these replacing the factory ones and they have offered me 100% protection one time that the bike has droped of me (at 0 km/h).A bit wider would be defianatelly even better.
