Much appreciated Todd! And thanks for the quick reply.GT-Rx said:It's just a dust cover to access timing marks, etc. It's not too big if deal for it to be open for a short time (old bikes often don't have them at all). They are fairly cheap, so I'd just buy a few to keep. Can you order from Agostini Italia direct? If not, I can send you some here from the States. Let us know.

That cork method will only work so long as the cork stays wet. Will require periodic replacement as the cork dries and the item falls out. However, I'm sure you have replacements on standby, just keep them wet until used on the bike.

Thanks mate. I've since replaced the cap from the local dealer - It cost me about $6 here and took about 4 weeks to receive.8VSE O-Ren Ishii said:The same thing happened to me about a month back. My local MG dealer was able to tape over the opening for the time being and order the part which is now in place and working fine. Both local dealers indicated it is not a huge problem.
FWIW - Do not push in on the new plug after the engine is hot . I put a bit of pressure on it shortly after riding and half of it went into the hole. Had to get a good set of needle nose to pull it back out and re-install it correctly. Also, I ordered a rear luggage rack and noticed that Piaggio, for whatever reason, sends you about 4 of these plugs with the rack - why, no idea but they do. Check out the AF-1 Racing website under the MG Griso 1200 accessory page. Just scroll down a bit and it's on the left. They are the same as the plug you buy separately for like 2-3 bucks or so.
Cheers
