  1. It is only a matter of taking things off and putting things back together. Be sure to get a rotor removal tool to get the alternator off .
  2. FWIW....eBay has some EBR 1190s for sale . some with 0 miles & some w/less than 1000 miles.
  3. Yep !
  4. I think you need the starter that has the correct # of teeth .
  5. Please explain your last sentence ... I lost something in the intrepretation
  6. My 2 cents ....you will want both idle speed screws to be holding the throttle plates off the bores of the throttle bodies . This keeps unwanted wear from the plates and bores . When I remember my procedure and adjustments I will report it . Getting old is NOT fun.
  7. If it were me , I would contact euromotoelectrics and see if they could sell you the housing with magnets in place or just another starter .
  8. Whew....
  9. You do not need to pull the head . The small leak is the O-rings at the base of the rocker arm mounts .
  10. I know they make slow blow fuses for glass tube type fuses . Does anyone know if they make them for ATO { blade type } fuses ?
  11. This will work until it stops working. That relay is not in this circuit just for entertainment . A relay is there to handle the current the other components shouldn't .
  12. p.s. These magnets must be placed exactly where they were .
  13. Measure the thread pitch and substitute a capscrew that has a head on it you can tighten and loosen . Those things are used as a theft deterrent or tamper proof screws. In this case it is for the ignition switch .
  14. You find a good painter and pay him cash money to do the job . It cost me $150 to have a front fender and bikini fairing painted.
  15. I would say that is what is .
  16. Sometimes the rotor can come loose and make a knocking sound . This is a very small chance though .
  17. Which ones ? The answer will be probably not . To answer your fist question , the only thing you could do is pack a small amount of hi-temp wheel bearing grease into the roller bearing and run w / it . See my post above .
  18. On the front wheels there are a combination of two of the same size or two different sizes .
  19. If I were installing new wheel bearings , I would pop ( practice on the old ones ) the dust seal off and add a small amount of hi-temp wheel bearing grease to the cage/roller assy. and install the dust seal . When you install it , make sure the disturbed dust seal portion goes inside so it will be sure to leave the undisturbed portion to the elements.
  20. You find a proper tool the size of the bearing o.d. and does not touch the dust seal . TAP the bearing into the bore until it is properly seated against the spacer or bottom of the bore .
  21. I like the ish part..

    WTF

    Were these OEM parts ? Who makes the charging systems for Moto Guzzi ? There is www.euromotoelectrics.com in Denver , Co. You could buy parts and I mean parts from them .
  23. It was a harangue....I should have included a disclaimer .
  24. All ( well most ) motorcycle manufacturers produce what the consumer " wants " . These bikes are just like automobiles , take off the decals and you cannot discern the brand . Up until the early 80's you knew who built what ....You rode this bike for the way it made you feel with or without it's quirks . YOU were the one that owned , rode & worked on it . MG is still like that . Good or bad . Now people are posers who own a 180 hp crotch rocket , a dual purpose $15k bike that will never get off the road or a $25k bagger you ride on a road trip and park it til next year. These are the customers manufacturers are targeting for now.
