    Aircooled Engines Overheat at Long Idle?

    FYI: About ten years ago I had a '84 BMW R100RS I had restored with dual plugged heads. I installed an engine heat sensor on it that worked well. Can't remember the exact temperature readings, but relatively speaking, when I pulled up to a stop / idle, the cylinder heads noticeably cooled (up to...

    2008 1200 Sport Fork Seal Replacement

    Another quest for advice. I went ahead and ordered a Traxxion fork spring compressor. I found that all the examples of spring compression tools show a plastic collar "over" the top of the fork spring which the compression tool tapered bolts fit into. Without the collar I am unable to compress...

    2008 1200 Sport Fork Seal Replacement

    Thanks John. I did buy a 45mm bullet and variable sized seal installer. So with this method I don't have to remove the spring-right? Your advice above implies the spring is removed (slide the seals "down the tube). Just remove the bottom bolt, take everything out and clean it, put the tube (with...

    2008 1200 Sport Fork Seal Replacement

    Am replacing fork seals for first time on '08 1200 Sport. The MG manual does not show the fork spring under the top cap. Although I went ahead and ordered a spring compressor in order to remove that top cap, is it appropriate (and reasonable) to simply remove the bottom bolt (above the axle...

    Fuel filter in Breva 1100

    Thank you both for your replies. If you ever need any parts info about a BMW airhead I'm your man..... As i said before, these forums are more confusing to me than my bikes. I can't even find my original post!

    Fuel filter in Breva 1100

    Am new to the Guzzi world. Have a new-to-me '08 1200 Sport. Plan to replace the fuel and air filters this fall when it gets cold. I can find no gasket for the fuel pump assembly on the bottom of the tank; not even a part number in the official parts book. Would like to have one on hand. Any...

    Evap Line removal

    I'm new to the Guzzi world. Wanting to take the fuel tank off my new-to-me 08 1200 Sport. Apparently it's never been off. I don't want to cut the factory hose clamps for the evap system until I know I can just replace them with regular hose clamps. Are these two lines under low pressure? Also...

    Ha! The bike starts normally now, but I didn't do anything to fix it. I tried to install a new starter relay but gave up trying to access it. Oh well.

    Actually, I don't think venting matters with fuel injection does it? A pressure pump inside the tank......

    1. A wrench appeared on the dashboard. Neither the Owners Manual or the service Manual say anything about it (that I can find). 2. No error codes at present. 3. Used to be you didn't have to hold the starter button down to start the engine, just push it and walk away. Now you have to hold it...

    Well it did not cure the problem John. There are now no error codes yet the problem persists, intermittently.

    Norge Starts and Quits

    John: Yes, I just did that and I have the original diagnostic code. After 1/2 hour of figuring out how to access the menu I found no ECU code errors, but three dashboard code errors: (DSB 05 M (fuel sensor), DSB 07 M Oil sensor, and DSB 08 Oil pressure). Reading the service manual I decided to...

    Norge Starts and Quits

    After decades with BMW's, I bought a 2007 Norge last summer. Love it. But this morning an intermittent electrical problem cropped up. I rode it into town, then when I tried to start it to come home, the engine would start but immediately quit. After several attempts it started and I got home...
