Slug Is that the right way to put on your mg stand, I always thought it had to go the other way, in your pic it looks as though it lifts the back wheel (which i want to do) and is a 2 person job. Nice by the way. Gary

My ti pipes have "for racing only" stamped on the underside of the st/steel band. Gary

I had the same thing, it was the fairing vibrating against the headlamp, see if its that next time you are out on the bike by holding the fairing screen when you hear it. Some one posted a couple of pictures on here using thin rubber between the fairing/headlamp in 2 or 3 points, cured it for me Gary

Having re assembled the front end , I have tightened the front wheel spindle to 100nm, Is the standard values for screws and nuts in the chart ok, for the triple clamp bolts ,brake caliper bolts and the fork pinch bolts. Dont want to strip anything over tightening Gary

Well i got my bearings off easy peasy, went back to work and was going to make something up along the lines of badmotorgoozers drawing , but then searching the rig from top to bottom i came across a box of internal bearing pullers made by "xukko" purely for research purposes i took the bits home i needed and 2 mins later bearings are out no hammers in sight . i would post a pic if my wife never gave my camera out on loan, as an aside £170 to service the ohlins and are now at man. specs, mechanic said the oil was in reasonable nick and the seals were ok (changed them anyway) not bad after 11000 miles. any way have to try and get 1 generator cover screw off all the rest were loose, this one will have to be drilled out or left and the cover painted in situ. the joys.

Hi I wouldnt ride the bike with the shock in that condition , this has happened a couple of times now, I think it happened on Martin Barret,s bike, do a search and see what comes up (Is it a sachs boge shock) Gary

The more i look at the 1200 sport the more i like it ( Hard luggage is an mg extra), I used to think the greaso looked cool as f%"k but now think it looks like a bike a pimp would ride . If i change my bike i will be waiting for the new 4v engine. Gary

I am not a definite for may but i am hoping for the time off, I think the next issue will have the definite dates for all the mg runs. Gary

Hi Bertie Welcome to the forum, Maybe see you in may at the v11/buell meeting , if not there is a few scottish guzzi club meetings ( Ullapool, findhorn meetings and scottish rally in perthshire) this year. Gary Oh and just remembered there is a plan to have a guzzi weekend in orkney in june, its in gambalunga.

Thinking of going now, Have just booked a 2 week break in may, just have to see if the head honcho onshore passes it. gary

wish i lived close enough to pick up a free bmw Couple of weeks from now you wont even know there was a shipwreck

Took off the front forks for a service and checked the front wheel bearings while it was off theres a bit of play so got new ones to replace them, trouble is cant get them out, am using pin punches and am getting no purchase on the bearing to whack the f"%^*(r off , any tips/tools i can use Cheers Gary
