    Wee run to Ayrshire

    Hi Ranishdogs,Nice coastal pic of your V100.Following up on you cat bolt comment which we kicked tires on earlier in the year, my fourth cat bolt has been in place now for >4,500 miles, without any rotation. This was after the dealer removed the rear wheel to install a new tire, loosened...

    Oil leak question?

    Well, best check your oil level again after they did the oil change...if they checked the level while on the side stand it is now underfilled by a a quart or more.The engine may run fine but the clutch may overheat....there is MG Mandello design history behind this comment. Google is your...

    Oil leak question?

    Per the owner manual, just be sure the bike was upright, not on the side stand, when the oil level was checked by the dealer.T2

    7,500-mile service self-completed

    I'm old school and grew up using anti-seize on spark plug threads, however, being a longtime user of NGK plugs I overlooked adding information related to avoiding use of anti-seize on the V100 NGK plugs. Per the NGK website -1. Anti-seizeNGK spark plugs feature trivalent plating. This silver...

    CHECK THIS BOLT!!

    Yep - it is the only common part between the assemblies. The bolt is still an M8 but is 50mm rather than 60mm, hence it is flush to the bushes which the hanger rides on rather than the bolt. IMO MG know the design on the Mandello is flawed and made it sturdier on the Stelvio.The hanger bushes...

    7,500-mile service self-completed

    As reported elsewhere on this form (Oil change) I elected to change the oil at 6,000 miles (5,000 miles after the first dealer service @900). My Nav reached 7,500 miles so I completed the remaining service items per the MG service manual (attached), checking every box and documenting with...

    The tweaking has begun!

    Spot on Katie.I like chocolate ice cream; I don't see the point of trying to convince someone who prefers vanilla that they should really like chocolate. Maybe they already tried it and simply prefer vanilla. Great. Do what suits you.If there is ever a short block Norge maybe I will try...

    The importance of engine bars

    Sorry to learn of your off Ranishdogs, happy you got up from it and your V100 is not too badly damaged. ATGATT works...so do crash bars (but I don't have them, I just don't like the look of them.....I hope not to regret that choice).T2

    V100S Pricing

    A quick update to my post#24 above.CalSci re-supplied corrected hardware, which I have now installed and removed the OEM hardware.From a performance standpoint it is superior to the GIVI IMO. No buffeting at all. I have since fitted a lip to the screen so I can angle air up a bit more and...

    V100 Mods thread

    No buffeting at all on my CalSci either (medium screen) - but still getting more noise, than I would have hoped for. Still fidgeting with the set-up. Having the high OEM seat option and ROX risers has put me in a much more upright position (needed for touring comfort following injuries in a moto...

    V100S Pricing

    In reference to my post above (#20) I was scanning the CalSci website again and fell victim to my 'you only live once gene'. It was delivered within 48 hours and with the sun back in Virginia mounted it up and took a 75-mile outing on it. I purchased the medium item.From an aesthetic...

    V100S Pricing

    My experience with the rider triangle and windscreens....Firstly, I needed to expand the rider triangle, added peg lowering kit, it helped, and the stock screen was great in the upper position. But I needed more room so added the OEM taller seat. Butt was nice and warm on the winter rides (;))...

    CHECK THIS BOLT!!

    Very interesting and thank you. I trust you didn't sustain too many burns/blisters in the process, it is tricky to access and measure! MG may have reached the same conclusion and redesigned the mount on the Stelvio accordingly.

    Oil Change Filler Bolt Allen Size

    I just completed my first oil change and decided to use the oil filler port as shown above. The o-ring on the plug fits into a recess and the bolt itself has a very large landing area. I found the plug to be at an awkward angle and had to resort to a breaker bar to get it loose. I figured it...

    Warranty and dealer installed OEM options

    Good plan.Me neither, especially while it is under warranty.BTW - my center stand was fitted by the dealer in August last year, nearly 6,000 miles later the fasteners are secure, and I hadn't checked them before tonight, which tells you something about the Denver tech that did your install...

    Warranty and dealer installed OEM options

    .. and if not the the replacement parts should be gratis even though the 90 days has elapsed as a good will statement on the dealers part, IMHO. An apology would be nice.Oh, and I wouldn't be using that dealer a whole lot if they can't install and tighten a center stand. If you have no...

    Warranty and dealer installed OEM options

    If you installed it, you own the problem I would think. Dealer installed, then it's their problem, most warranty their work for a period of time.My 2 cents.T2

    CHECK THIS BOLT!!

    The third cat bolt was installed under warranty today, 5,850 miles on the Nav. The tech painted the bolt and indexed it to the hanger - picture taken for MG USA. I will be repeating the pics on a frequent basis until it fails again (in all likelihood)- to counter 'your customer must be messing...

    Hazard lights.

    Alternatively, many might argue hazard lights are a safety feature rather than a nice touch and Guzzi missed the boat on it.Triumph understood what you said about closed loops and batteries, though I was a tad perplexed, and once the hazards are on the ignition can then be turned off. Imagine...
