    stripped crankcase drain

    In an emergency, I once used plumbers tape to hold a sump plug in place just to keep it snug. I used it for several years with no leak - although I wouldn't recommend it (if it fails your back wheel hits the oil first). This is how I learned you don't need to over tighten.

    Modern "No Start" issue solution

    I'd like to chime in here. I don't have a mechanical back ground and I am self taught on the repairs I do thanks to sites like this. Big repairs I use a mechanic because I know my limits.The reason I bought a Guzzi (B11) is because I wanted something with character when I ride it and look at...

    earth wire

    Update.I've had the chance to leave the bike outside for a couple of cold nights when the no start problem usually occurs. It has started perfectly each morning so it appears, thus far, that this fix has helped.I also noted that other problems have disappeared. First, the revs no longer...

    Battery Tenders - Yes/No and What size to get?

    Interesting read. Scott, can you leave those chargers permanently connected? I often leave the bike long periods without riding (tender connected) and don't wish to cook the battery.

    earth wire

    Thanks Gents. I have added the extra wire exactly as John suggested. While doing the work, I found the original earth wire is damaged - nicked by rubbing on the frame. I wonder if this caused the issue. Anyway, I've added the extra wire so hopefully now it should be good...

    earth wire

    I have the same set up as Nordicnorm. I'm aware of all the ground wires that need cleaning as I've done them before. I'll try grounding to the bell housing. Out of curiosity, is it safe to run an earth direct from the battery to the starter where the 6mm bolt is?thanksRobert

    earth wire

    Hi all,I've been experiencing a no start problem on my B11 where it only occurs on a cold morning if I leave the bike outside. I did the wiring mod as recommended here a few years ago and that fixed the odd non start. This time it only happens when cold and for the first start of the day...

    panniers

    Thanks for the replies. I do have the OEM hard plastic cases. I'm not looking for a magic bullet, just wondered if there was a general rule for the cases. I've got the Maguires 3M spray so I'll just use that.Bill I wash my bike regularly. I find it's a good way to check it over and see if...

    panniers

    Good folks,I have hard cases on my B11. I was wandering if there was a product I can apply for protection. I use Amor All for my car dash, Glycerine for the exterior rubber on the car, is there a product for hard cases. I keep washing them with car wash detergent/wax, so surely they'll dry...

    BNS12 Dash Repair

    Gazdok,Once the dash is in pieces, I found there was foam/silicone in the channels around the perimeter of the dash as well as the rubber seal. This blocked all the air vents so I carefully picked it all clean and did away with the rubber seal. This creates a lot of airflow as I found when I...

    BNS12 Dash Repair

    Carmo did repair mine with a failed lcd. however now the lcd's are no longer available so they just return the dash. Many folks had to buy a new dash/used dash for this reason.I wonder what it would take to have a manufacturer make a run of these.
