I'm not sure what types of auto shops or auto dealers there are where you live. I would suggest a car dealership. Go to the parts dept.and ask for a leak detector dye for engine oil or manual trans.fluid. See if you can work out something with the service mgr. or ome of the mechanics to use (borrow)the UV light and glasses to find the source of the leak.

Richard, I think the injector plug is a "Bosch" type connector. You can purchase a "noid" light to plug into the connector to check for pulse. These can be purchased at auto parts stores or tool (Snap-On) trucks. These are inexpensive and you will want to keep them around for troubleshooting. If you are getting a pulse you might be able to tap on the injector with a 3/8" extension(while the engine is running) to free up the injector pintle. Believe it or not this usually works.

You can price a t-belt job and get close on a $ amount. Can you price the same job with a few more levels of work? Bent valves, damaged head,pistons,bent rod(s) and finally throw it all away and look for another engine. This risk would be like having sex w/someone with AIDS. Why take the risk?

Take a very good flashlight and look between the seat and tailpiece. Use a long small blade regular tip screwdriver to push the lever to open. Also if you look in the forums there are pictures of what you are trying to accomplish.

Nice? They look like they belong on a chariot of the gods !

I hope you never become accustomed to living in such beauty.

It hasn't.

One of eight (rumored) dealerships in the US is in Paducah,Ky. These Indians look like aircraft carriers after riding a sport bike. It still looks good. They also have a full line of Piaggo bikes. These bikes look great too.

For the love of money is..........

Has anyone had experience with Palo Alto Speedometer Service for the speedo problems on these bikes?

I still look at it and think it is still the most beautiful bike I have EVER seen in my lifetime.

It's to remind me I waited 8 weeks for this backordered *********!!! to find out I couldn't mount it properly and if I did i would have to get within 12 in. of the face to see how fast I was traveling right before I crashed. For the digital dash: if you could properly mount it and not destroy the wiring, GO FOR IT!

Too-shay!!!!!!!

I will look in the house after work and let you know the make and model #. I put Alpina wheels on and the air gap on the pick-up and sensor (I think) is 5 mm. I could not find a good way to mount it so it is on the night stand.

Shhhh! Don't give sales secrets away.

Jami, Keep in mind: you can't run a wireless system (or so I was told) because of RFI from the ignition system and you want one that will read up to 100 mph. It is no good to have one that goes up to only 45mph. One more thing,the face on these are normally 1". You will have to practice reading at a postage stamp while you are riding. If you want I can send you this one to look at before you buy.

According to the video he doesn't look like the Ozzy Osborne or Alice Cooper type. I suppose everyone has a wild side?

I can't add much for the no-start condition... The front brake lever stoplamp switch is probably bad. Price a new one and see how much it is...

Jami, You will have to communicate with someone who has a bike speedo on their Guzzi. I bought one from Performance (bicycle) Bike. I think it was a CATEYE brand. I finally got it and it will not work because of mounting and clearance issues. Gene

That's life...what else can they do with all the "name"? The event hosts need to name a "Dakar rallye winner" not an "Argentina anything winner...

It's good to have you back online. What all was replaced on the exhaust system? I do have to tell you you started out on the best bike (if it is your first) available. p.s. this will be your first MG.........

It just worked for me..9:15 p.m. CST

If that's Roper(in the bowtie) he should be ready for the nursing home by now.

Bad to the Bone!!!!!!!!!!

2008: It was a good year for my bike ! Oberon fuel cap CRG levers New rear pads Alpina wheels/ Pirelli Diablo tires Moto Guzzi rear luggage rack & bag Roper (sloppage sheet) windage tray Aprillia mirrors FWIW If there is not a total economic collapse or nuclear annihalation I AM GOING TO BUY MORE JUNK !
