It really should have read "Rear End Maintenance" or "Things to do with the rear wheel off" as a title.Would make it easier to find,...

Thanks for the suggestions guys,I'll take a look see in a couple days when I get home and report back.

Thanks for the suggestions Roy. 02 Scura (It is visible to others in my profile,yes?) Dont know if it blows when pressing button or just riding down the road,just go to use it and it's not there. Could I use your light bulb tester in lieu of a HL lamp? Thanks

Ive blown a couple turn signal fuses over the last several years and two in the last couple months. What would cause this,and where/how to trouble shoot the circuit.Everything else works normally. Thanks Michael

Ya I thought people had found cracks from an "x-ray" of the flywheel.Don't know what that process is called,....

How are you determining this emery?

Oh great.You have a Rosso and one of only a few MGS-01's in North America and now you'll take this from us.Your a bad man Jim,a very bad man,.....

I absolutely love the bike and other than rebuilding the rear master cylinder which was seized have had no problems. Uh-oh you just shot the clown. Sounds like normal clutch noise.Could you post a video?

Mitch Post #2 explains how to do it,give it a read.Not hard.Probably a spring.

Yup,I agree with those guys.Start with a base setting for TPS,bi-pass and balance,IF you can find no air leaks.The rubber boots are good at hiding small cracks.

Guzzirider were you a part of this group? http://www.theridersdigest.co.uk/newsite/men-and-the-art-of-motorcycle-maintenance-or-plus-ca-change/

Same here.First time in 7 years Ive heard ANYONE say anything bad about a Mistral.

This is a work of art.

I use medium thread-lock on all items that need to be removed at some point for maintenance,except spark plugs and exhausts . I'm curious why so much rust.Denver's pretty dry.Do you commute with it?Let it drip dry after a rain or wash?How many miles? I live in the Northeast(so all kinds of conditions) and on a 1/2 mile dirt road,so it can get muddy and I wash it with a hose.After disassembling last year I had very little rust.I did install an Edge-Guard that protects the shock and inner swingarm area while I had it apart,and mine looked at lot like yours when I pulled it apart.Do a search,if he still has any it would be a good time to install.

Have you see Kiwi Roy's test point diagram? Mine may not be updated but here it is. Yup,sounds like something is loose,check battery connections if you haven't already. Test Point Layout August 18 2010(2).pdf Guzzi Wiring - Simple.pdf

Cool.Can anybody translate?

Thinkin of cleaning up the rear end but haven't found a FE anywhere.Anyone buy one recently? FBF doesn't list them anymore. Thanks Michael

There's not much pressure on that seal and you may even be able to close it without using sealant(I do).You would have to have correct and even torque to do that. Once your happy gotta come up to the Hudson Valley,roads you can really get to use her like you should!

What Duc did you get? I bought an ST4s last year and gettin along with it quite well.

Oh Docc don't be modest. This is his Holy Words,to be obeyed by all,..especially V11 Newbs http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=15816

Nice find silverback. This should be moved to the "Technical Topics"
