There is no one on this site that has f'd up as many threads as ME ! So , I know how to back up and punt !

To guzzijek : I suppose this practice could eventually wear out the threads of the hole and or the bolts . If it will make you feel better , install studs in place of the bolts . Use flat washers , lock washers and nuts . To LowRyter ; To stop crossthreading , push the cover against the hole and begin turning the cover in the "off" direction . When you feel a click , stop . Now start turning the cover in the "on" direction . Practice doing this with other parts and when you feel this work you will not have any problems with crossthreading .

You need to make sure the rubber and grease is compatible .

What brand battery are you using ?

It will be in your best interest to buy the Odyssey charger .

This bike sounds SO righteous !

I am a slow learner …. I don't know what I am doing

Pull the relay to the fuel pump while the noise is there . Did it stop ?

AS far as the noise with the KOEO , remove the relay that powers the fuel pump. Did it stops the buzz ? If not , keep removing them one at time to see if it stops.

Mmmmm . the fuel pump could be distracting him . When you get excited you imagine lots of things ! The other things will be evaluated as we go . Insert other media.url

I hope you own a good DVOM . Check the battery voltage , turn the switch on and check . If you own a good test light , put it on the - terminal to the + terminal of the battery . Turn the ign. switch to the on position and watch to see what the light does . Tell us what you find n we will go from there .

HMMMMM ?

If / when you decide to look , make sure the magnets are still stuck / glued to the housing . Inspect each magnet to verify they are not broken or cracked . Use a bright light to examine for cracks . Look and make sure they are indexed perfectly opposite each other . It doesn't matter where they are just that they are separated equidistant from each other . HTH .

Some]body is VERY lucky !

Could you please explain this cure a little better ? I know less than I did .

Amen to that

Hmmmmmm.

The MGS-01 has to be the most righteous motorcycle EVER to have the Guzzi emblem .

Some Of The Gear Some Of The Time ?

Hmmmmm ?

Be sure & spray white grease on the cam drive / driven gears before buttoning up the engine . The first start puts the most wear on any engine part .

Oh yeah !

Speaking from experience.....uh , just keep your mouth shut .

Uhhhh , you can Google this Valeo starter for an exploded diagram to see what is inside . EuroMotoElectrics has all the parts for these starters. YouTube should show how these or any permanent magnet starter works . FYI = any permanent magnet starter will spin with the battery hooked up backward . The starter will rotate in the opposite direction and not rotate the flywheel . TRUST ME . I found this out after a friend replaced his battery on his riding mower .
