    update charging system help needed

    Carl Allison's wiring diagrams can be found here (on this site - Edit). The standard reg on my LM 1000 (I think the charging system is the same, Bosch type) should have a DF, D+, D- DF is field the wire from it goes to the brushes on the alternator, purple D+ is sensing, comes from D+ on the...

    Battery light on

    Ok Thanks Phil, thinking about I can see how this might happen, if the wiring is sized too small up to the sensing line take off, then the current pulled would cause a volts drop along the cable up to the sensing point which would cause the effect you describe. What I would be tempted to do is...

    Battery light on

    It may be a moot point & I could have it wrong but from what I have seen by a quick glance at the wiring diagram, the voltage sensing is taken from the "headlight relay" but that relay is a misnomer. It is energized the entire time the ignition is on and the starter is not, it supplies power for...

    Are Deep Sumps Available for Spine Framed Bikes

    Guzzigray, thanks for the compliment and the words of wisdom. The avatar is the 1000 refurb'd around 4 year back. I thought I'd post up a bigger pic to let you see it, as it more or less looks now. Unfortunately due to bad judgement I took to a mate's place where the roads are poorly...

    Are Deep Sumps Available for Spine Framed Bikes

    Thanks guzzigray That seems to more or less settle the issue for me. If I read that right then the issues that the deep sumps addressed on the 1000 bikes, were addressed via the broad sump with its stat and cooler. John

    Are Deep Sumps Available for Spine Framed Bikes

    So just asking a question, the bike is Sport 1100i The bike is getting rebuild/refurbished and I wondered what are the pros and cons of the broad sump motor over the standard 1000 lump. Do these motors benefit from a deep sump? Are deep sumps available? I already have a sloppage/splash plate...

    Quick question for the Illuminati

    I'm sticking my neck out here & contradicting Todd (& will most likely end up looking an ass) BUT That sump to me looks like the filter is at the back of the sump & not the front like the MG cycle one, which in itself deeply resembles a Moto Spezial sump, which I have on mine. Its a bit...

    95 Sport Shifter seal

    I wrote a little missive on the 5 speed box a while back when tearing down a 1000, the 1100s are not much different, I know I've done a sport 1100 box too. Anyway for what its worth and if it helps take a look here. Also download the shimming the box article by Prof Roper, a far more able and...

    Clutch Cable Adjuster Length & Diameter LM 1000

    Hi Groundhog No that lever is not stock, its from ISR & is an "extra pull" item with an adjustable lever When I rebuilt the Sfida about 4 years back, I installed ISR series 32, 6 pot calipers and master cylinders. going to hydro on the clutch. ISR are a Swedish company and I just love the...

    LMIII Swingarm for T3

    I've never sampled them but I've been told the Tonti's had 3 different swingarm lengths with Cali being the longest. The only thing I'd be thinking about is would a longer arm not slow the steering making the bike more stable but less prone to turn in? Which I wouldn't have thought would be a...

    Clutch Cable Adjuster Length & Diameter LM 1000

    Hi John Yeah I'll lube it well when I get more time. The lever can be reversed either way, so I can have the slot on the top or bottom. I don't think it will make much odds as the bike rarely sees rain John

    Looking for Brake Disc Dimensions T3/SP LM spoke

    Plenty feel John But yes at the MOT test they check braking capability and it will lock up the front. That said the rear can also lock when pushed hard. I normally brake with 2 fingers on the lever and this makes it real easy, however I hear ya, with the 300s I could get the front tyre howling...

    Looking for Brake Disc Dimensions T3/SP LM spoke

    So its done when the bike is out the shed I'll take some pictures and post up the drawing of the caliper carrier. That should at least serve as a starter for anybody going from 300 to 320 rotors. Although these are ISR calipers the centers are Brembo 40mm so the drawing should also be good for...

    Clutch Cable Adjuster Length & Diameter LM 1000

    Went with the SD cable for now, after it was cut & new nipple installed the fit was pretty tight, the cable runs a lot closer to the engine than I'd like BUT I've had it out for its MOT (road worthiness inspection that's annually required and a PIA) and it was fine, nothing melted. The cables...

    Clutch Cable Adjuster Length & Diameter LM 1000

    Thanks John for the information and the link I actually checked Stein Dinse as I'm in the UK, they have a cable for about 8 Euro, which is ridiculously cheap (if their website is correct), cost me a little more for shipping but I could probably shorten the cable then it would just be a ferrule...
