bad Guzzista

[francesco]

I know I am a bad guzzista, my Tenni has only 1100 miles on and is almost 2 years that I bought it.

I'm bringing the bike to Big Twin Cycle (closest dealer 380 miles away), before the warranty expires for oil leak and electrical problems (I hit the start botton and nothing happen).

I would like any suggestions on all the that a 2002 model should have fixed.

Es: gearbox spring problem: change the Boss with a 15mm one (Ballabio 2004).

If the Tenni has the single plate clutch, should I change it with a dual plate?

Also what the warranty should cover of the that you suggest?

Please help me here, I know zero about mechanic and I have no time to learn it right now.

ciao.

The spacer in rear wheel, between bearings, could be too short. Seems to have been a common 2002 problem. You could at least check the rear wheel bearings (or get mechanic to check them) to see it there is too much wear – a sign of the spacer being too short.

Ciao Francesco,

try to change the ignition relay under the seat (I had the same trouble and after changing the stock Siemens relay with another one the problem was fixed)!

 

Ciao

Francesco, I think you have a single plate.

But I think yuo know this, but you like to hear you have that right, don't you?

You bought that Tenni in Italy to bring him in Montana and to do nothing with him?

Francesco, che cazzo!!!

[francesco]

Antonio, you are so right, I'm a bad guzzista bad, too busy working,

vota antonio, vota antonio.

Wow you have nearly 5.8 miles per post!

At this rate, by the time you hit 100,000 miles you will have made over 17,000 posts!

Regarding warranty items, I would just check that everything works.

No flopping tachometer or speedometer needle.

All the lights work.

Bike does not ping.

No leaks, etc.

Since you have to go so far to the dealer, I think you should have nothing special done as you need to visit the dealer more often, just to put some miles on your baby.

But seriously, it is a long way, so get the most out of the service.

And if you are not a do it yourselfer, now is the opportunity.

A good tune up is in order.

Make sure they grease the rear wheel splines and shaft drive.

Checking the rear bearing spacer, as someone said, is an excellent idea.

Rear brake noise would be something to be aware of.

It is low miles, but having them change the fork oil and adjusting the sag could help make you want to ride the bike even more.

Check for deteriorated rubber hoses, etc.

Check the battery.

Be sure to test ride for a few miles after they deliver the serviced bike to you.

Thats all i can think of.

They do like to toot their own horn.

 

Francesco, you might also have your dealer put some dielectric grease in all the accessible electrical (molex) connections. Also, remove and replace the electric fuel petcock with a manual piece (might already be done).

See that, Frenchbob – even JR thinks that your petcock should be removed

 

and put some dialectric in your accessible molex while you're at it
