Distilled Waters Run Deep

-the ethanol in fuel issue would worry me, too. Sorry to those who've had these beautiful tanks made up!

I've seen on previous posts that the Cali fuel sensor is a simple on/off affair, does anyone know of a better replacement or if it will be feasible to fit the acewell sensor?

Cheers Craig -I gather they do overseas shipping at reasonable cost. I'll copy to the tech section, as you suggest. BW Phil

I'm almost certain to go for an Acewell pod (70 or 85mm diameter) http://www.acewell.co.uk/Uses/Motorcycle%20-%20Road/index.htm -they do adaptors for Guzzis, lots of options...

New to this, looks likely I'll fit an Acewell single pod I'm having trouble inserting images & links to their site, sorry... They make an electronic speedo cable adaptor for Guzzis...

Hwyl Cymro! Have you become so refined in case the new UFIs are made of recycled cola cans & need a more perspicacious approach, or just for the joy of such precision?

That easily puts me off the hassle of changing my filter this time... thanks Pete. When I do, it will be easily spun off as usual, noting whether the jubilee clip has moved the 1/4" to the pressure valve/stop this time... Whenever I find one I can't remove (usually on my car) I bang an old screwdriver through it with a rubber hammer & use that as a lever. Hey, 350$ tools for something you're going to throw away?!?!

Sorry if this has been covered already -can't find anything with a search -I've heard that UFI are now getting the filters manufactured somewhere else. Does anyone know if the quality still holds?

I think (not sure) that all V10/V11 bikes (from Centauro, California to Lemans) have the same dash, so there is quite an "applicability range". If the screw spins then the stud, or better, the plastic around it is already broken and you can pull the lid off together with all the screws. No need to drill, just give it a good yank and finish the corpo portaspie off. Yoda: "Broken it already is." In that case, if you can find a glue to fix the plastic with, on reassembly you'll have the same ridiculous situation with screw through dash through steel ferrule into plastic, jigging it all together as you go. I found some tiny o rings to hold the ferrules from gravity's evil mocking cruelty while I put mine back together.

my charging light hasn't worked for 6 mos. or so,(although the bike charges just fine)lately the light works *some* of the time. haven't been able to get the cover off to try to change bulb, as the top 2 little allen screws come out, bottom one just spins. i think this is what you're talking about, i don't think i want to change the bulb bad enough to get the hammer out. any other way? thanks, stef I'm not sure which bike this is for, but it sounds from your description as if one option is to drill the cap off the screw that spins. Maybe superglue it in place if it spins with the drill bit!?

Ta -but those 3 came out ok & the black lozenge-shaped cover seems ok -the 2 blocks of three bulbs were only held in by one screw each though (2 mounting holes),& one of the mounts of those had cracked apart Ho hum, used a bit of plastic glue, left to set til later. A bit of a daft design with screws through dashplate into ferrules into plastic. Requires 3 hands & antigravity field to reassemble. Maybe some tiny o rings to lock ferrules into place. Noticed the earth wire to the speedo bulb (too short!) was hanging by a few bare threads, plastic sheath obviously pinched. Now soldered together, heatshrink sleeved & taped. Some previous criminal has rounded out the allen bolts which hold the chrome cover onto the speedo, so let's hope that doesn't want any attention. While at it all had planned to grease the speedo cable, will have to do so from the other end

Thanks mate -all that tugging from the rubber side, it's amazing the bulb is still intact! Easy now Thanks also for all the useful information here. I know what a diode is. I've got an old zener diode somewhere with a heat sink on it, wonder what it would look like wired into the indicator dashlight & strapped to the side of the dash?

I'm trying to do this to my Jackal -any clues on best way to remove the light covers? I assume you mean the coloured plastic lenses... Phil
