Welcome aboard !

No , you can pick it up by the oil pan . I am not sure I would buy it unless I had some $$$ laying around

Some times my lights work , some time they don't . All that matters to me : will it start & not leave me stranded ! My low fuel indicator does NOT work . I've ran out twice this year . Come to think of it , that's the same amount of times I've ridden this *#$%^@@)((&& . At least I've learned to lay the bike over and run it until I have to repeat the procedure . Hopefully I find a gas station and refuel .

Buddy , I know too . I rode 40 miles with a bad / leaking valve cover gasket . The incident ruined a brand new l.h. boot !

That is good. I went back to uninsulated terminals a few years ago. Uninsulated crimp w/heatshrink tubing .The only way to go .

The easiest test , remove the oil pressure switch . Start the engine and oil should spray out & I mean spray out . If it doesn't , remove the oil filter and look for a damaged or too many oil filter o-rings . Look up into the cavity to be sure no o-rings are up in the housing . Let us know what you have found .

All the airhead bikes are a "safe" motorcycle for the old fart's club . Good looking ,reliable , a good membership network . Just like this one , it is divided between professionals and non-professionals . It would be a nice bike to have .

Good advice !

You want the best connection possible . You decide

Japanese metric use 12 and 14 on their bolts and Euro use 13 and 15 on theirs . There are other #s for the other sizes , but I can't remember them . Fun Fact .

But , he is a happy prole !

Please.......

I looked at my red frame ( I am pretty hard headed ) a long time & short of enlarging the shield , you will have to remove the shaft . Now , I am more than ready to be proved wrong .

I know this much , the people that use nitrogen in tires , will continue this process . The ones that scoff at it , will continue to scoff at it .

It could be different ..........

I hear ya !

You could get in trouble for owning a scale like that !

The way it goes with this crankcase shit , as with most MG , they sure have a screwed up concept going on . The way I see it , the frame rusts inside , cheap-ass rubber hoses , and a special place for all the rust to go : THE oil pan . Oh , did I forget , I don't remember a vent to atmosphere ?

The quality of rubber used making the hose . You will notice there is not even thread woven into the hose ! You can blame MG , the vendor that makes the hose , whoever you want . It is NOT Japanese (QUALITY) rubber .

They will fail if you keep the bike PARKED

You will probably find the return tube the culprit . It will be easy or a MF to change . The easiest and best purchase will be MG Cycle . When you install , make sure you clock the hose clamps where they will be easy to tighten .

I am going to Murray for my first meeting to schedule everything . I want them both fixed a the same time . Be in prayer for me this goes PERFECTLY ! I can hardly walk as it is .

IF my knees are fixed & I am not working.........

Plymouth Duster ?

MMmm . I would fix a wooden crate that would hold it at it's journals ad keep it WELL oiled or covered in grease .
