Thanks guys, Docc it's a '01 external pump, do you mean the domed rubber piece that is on the rear of the filler cap it self?just remove this? where is the one way valve? thanks

Hi guys I came home from a ride the other day and whilst in the garage I thought I would add some redex in the tank, I always ride with ear plugs and have never noticed this before but when I opened the gas cap there was a distinct rush of air! is normal thanks

footgoose I have the manics on my bike with stock bars no problem

sorry Roy didn't think, already recycled!

anyone tried the ram air snorkels like this

Hi guys I have not long returned from a trip to Europe, I encountered a few issues but made it back-just!- and thought I'd post some pics!we took the quickest route to Switzerland via the chunnel and France all motorway but great weather and empty roads. Day 3 and the fun began, Swiss roads in the Jura mountains were incredible! although I think that was a cycle track! we travelled south with a stop over at Lausanne,stunning! an early the next day to see the mighty Eiger the afternoon saw us tackling some big passes, the Grimsel,Furka and the st.Gottard, as soon as the the altitude rose above 6,000ft the bike was not happy! at low revs it would stutter so the Furka in particular was hard work, very tight turns, St.Gottard was the final ascent but luckily it was nice and wide with sweeping curves, with the throttle kept open we got over with no problems. We descend down to our hotel on the shore of lake Maggiore, the temperature rose to over 30 degrees and althought still in Switzerland the surroundings and language was distinctly Italian. The following day we crossed into Italy and made our way to Como, then after some scenic roads skirting the lake we arrived at Mandello. mission accomplished!! the museum was full of amazing machines, it is a must do for every enthusiast from there we travelled to Lake Garda were we meet the rest of the family for a 12 day vacation after much beer,vino and pasta we rolled north to the Dolomites with the stelvio rising to over 9,000ft I decide not to ride due to my fueling issue, Shane (my son in law) went ahead and rode it ,he said it was worse than the Furka, I will have to return and do it one day! the following day we crossed into Austria (the cleanest country in the world) and finally had a great night in southern Germany on the shores of lake Constance. We rode some epic roads in the last few days, heading west crossing the Rhine back into France the roads were amazing! the last 2 days we spent on French 'D' roads, little traffic with views for miles in each direction. We stopped at Metz which is a lovely city. More great roads the next day as we rode north to Lille and our final stop of the trip- I had an intermittent battery light on the last day, we checked what we could and stopped a few times but couldn't figure it out, We just pushed on and eventually arrived home, the whole trip was amazing, the weather was fantastic, up to 37 degrees and we covered 2596 miles in total-I will be going back! more photos here http://s1017.photobucket.com/user/v11sport/slideshow/factory%20trip%202015

thanks guys-battery @13v this morning, I have a additional ground wire-will check the the stator wires on the weekend-could my reg. be failing? I have a spare so I might change this too

Hi gents I just returned from a Euro trip, will post pics and write up soon, I encountered a few issues the first of which is that for the last few days the battery light will come on when running, I checked what I could on the road, battery and ground wires, reg. is cool to touch and puts out 13.70v @3000rpm,I travelled 300mls yesterday 50% of the time the light was on, we stopped regularly and checked the battery voltage and it was at about 13v so I assumed it was ok.Arrived home safely took some readings today key off 13.06, key on 12.79, can anyone give shed some light on this? thanks

stew the one for a fiat/alfa is a quarter of the price of a guzzi one, do a google

tdc sensor? I think there's an 'O' ring under it, maybe thats perished?

stew on my bike its stuck solid! so I have always left it in when removing the wheel, maybe the earlier ones,without the 'r' clip are shorter?

on the early models did they have manual petcock? make sure its fully open, if the tanks been off recently, air filter change perhaps, could be that its not open fully making the pump work harder?

wow some great advice many thanks, 30 amp fuse is now redundant-maxi fuse- I have a manual petcock and a spare tdc sensor!it was only £30 so I thought it wise to have, I recently inspected the alternator wires and all looked good! how is the start relay bypassed?

he may have meant that docc but sure looks like petulant to me......just saying stew

so gents off on my pilgrimage to Mandello in a little over a month I'm armed with the tools and spares from the 'fix it on the road' thread and I need to pick your brains in case the worst happens, before 'phoning the tow truck!! for instant bike turns over but won't start? what to check? etc any tips advice most welcome

good choice hope you went for the purple spring.....
