after destroying some bolts on my front mudguard i'm firmly in the 'if it aint broke' camp

thanks have ordered some bits from ebay that i hope will fit

Hi decided to fit a fender extender today, been riding in some serious rain recently, all was well except for those 3 stupid tiny bolts and the rubber 'captive nut' thingy that join the two halves together! having destroyed 2 of them is there a better alternative ? thanks

mine does this too! as far as I know everything is stock, I just thought it was 'character' or bloody Italian electrics

Hi Anyone got a Stucchi fairing for a V11? thanks

first technical problem in 13 years- sir I salute you

e-mailed Opie oils here in the UK and was recommended http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-6585-motul-7100-4t-10w-60-high-performance-lubricant-for-bikes-100-synthetic-ester.aspx

cue 'duelling banjo music'

any of you guys use ACF-50, pretty much put it everywhere on my last bike-not brakes! good stuff

retroman give Nigel/baldrick a ring at corsa Italia, I spoke to him recently regarding my recent purchase and he recommended a rock oil but I forget which one! or e-mail opie oils, UK based, they have been very helpful in the past- and don't forget to take some nice pics of your roper plate install-its next on my to do list! did you get it from gutsibits?

thanks great write up by the way

Hi All, Just printed off Doccs excellent 'tank off checklist' ready for when I fit a new shock and was wondering what to use to seal the spark plug wires? cheers

its the fuel pressure regulator, sorry thats the sum of my knowledge,well and that there only 30 euro http://www.stein-dinse.biz//eliste/index.php

sorry roy it was early but couldn't have been more than 2 seconds before the fuse blew, battery terminals clean and tight. Stein dinse don't list the solenoid separately however I have found this My link scroll down the solenoid is listed and in stock a £15 got to be worth a go sorry long day still can't get the linky thing to work!It did work nice

just noticed that the teeth that engage on the flywheel don't seem uniform! is that right? could that be the problem? could try an post a pic later

HI, OK did it again today then blew the starter fuse, wife wasn't too pleased about a 5 am drive to work!! so home now replaced the fuse-press starter a few times, could hear clicking under the seat(relay) then it turns over, as mznyc suggests I have pulled the starter, some dust where it engages the flywheel, looks ok any tips on removing the solenoid before I break it or is it a job for the experts? thanks

thanks guys for your help, using the bike for work duties at the mo so don't want to pull it apart- in case I break something , I'll keep you posted

pete the nipple on the left of the filler, when looking at the tank from the saddle is where the hose should fit, this is for fuel overflow-the hose exits just behind starter

thanks cliff, I will check the battery however after a run if I connect a charger it always goes to green, ie fully charged real quick- I suppose it might be not be holding a charge after afew days? what should the battery register? I have multimeter(no idea how to use it!!!!)

Hi, recently I'ved noticed that there seems to be a delay between pressing the starter button and it turning over. It seems to happen more when the bike is left overnight-its only like a second and I don't wiggle the bars to get it running. Starts easily, runs great and doesn't happen(seem to) when the bike is warm. Any ideas? would something like this be helpful? My link thanks

great looking bike-luv the exhaust- why did'nt they produce a road going version?

one thing I found- there no such thing as a five minute job on a guzzi(atleast on mine!) glad you sorted it, I think I put a spanner on the fitting and gave it alittle tap

What does the wrap do? do you have to remove the pipes to fit? was thinking of the black wrap, it beats trying to keep headers clean!!
