    Help-I'm Falling

    Just a general chat topic here. I am considering a new bike. 56,000 + miles on my 08 Sport. It has been a pure joy despite the learning curve on MG electronics and worrisome no start issues. Something that has always lurked strongly was the dreaded dash failure and big $ fix. So far, no...

    B11 START ISSUE

    Just back from a overnight camping trip. My 08 Sport failed to start at a gas stop. All too random occurrence! It finally did after numerous attempts and about 15 seconds depressing start button. I was afraid to turn it off or do more riding. New battery this year, had just cleaned ground...

    No Brake light/Headlight

    A couple of days ago I finally had some time to spend on this. Yea Chippy. I was pleasantly surprised that the connector to harness was culprit. My bad on normal maintenance I'm afraid. Electrical spray cleaner restored bike to normal brake/headlight operation. I went ahead and sprayed all...

    No Brake light/Headlight

    Wow, thanks chippy. Will do. I have always been leary about spraying electronic contact cleaner into main switch as I assumed it used a dielectric gel lube. I did try it with no positive result. Has anyone ever tried a disable of switch? I removed bottom of switch for a continuity/voltage...

    No Brake light/Headlight

    About 30 minutes into a trip to Arkansas my riding partner flagged me down. No brake light. Pulled off, checked fuses, all good and found out no headlight either. Troubleshooting problem appeared to be main ignition switch not suppling voltage to relay 4. Had continuity but no voltage. I put...

    Service - Red Triangle Query

    Yip Yip. This forum is awesome. From reading old post that lead me to oil sensor I managed to pop the cap from side of bike and see that the connector was lose and corroded. I hit it with some electrical cleaner and tightened it as well as i could and service lite/dashboard error went away...

    Breva brake pedal

    So simple yet just the perfect solution. Springs have always been a mystery/aggravation to me. Followed your suggestions and I now have a straightened brake pedal. Thank you Fiat500 and to this forum. You folks have been a tremendous help and answered many questions for this still learning...

    Breva brake pedal

    Thanks for the above reply Fiat500. After looking at it it seems pretty straightforward but I didn't get very far. How does one remove the spring? If I take the screw out how will I ever get the spring and screw back in? Is there a tool I need?

    Breva brake pedal

    Would like to replace or possible just straighten out my brake pedal on a 08 Breva Sport. Has anyone tackled this and what is involved with removal? Looks somewhat involved. Mine is slightly bent inward and I thought I would like to correct this before full on riding season. The bent part is...

    Bliss

    Sorry Tony. The Red 1200 Sport is really faster. Here in Central USA, mid-Illinois, it was 70 degrees last Saturday. Whoa! 5 hour ride was pure bliss. Okay 45 minutes for a fresh catfish dinner at a favorite riverfront dive was included in trip. It is picnic tables outside and well worth the...

    Buying a BREVA 1200 - Tips for servicing at 20,000k

    Hi Don, Welcome back to the Italian bug again. I highly recommend Todd's PC5/ECU flash as a minimum. Serious dollars but worth every penny. Also upgraded to HyperPro suspension front/rears. Happy with them although better is out there just more $$. Do the simple starter relay mode. Normal...

    You folks are wonderful. Was going to search for "gland nut" tool (thanks John) and did not find it offered on Guzzitech. I was going to try and lubricate and adjust 1st, then order bearings (thanks again John) if that did not cure, I would then take to a shop to replace bearings as I don't...

    Breva head stem query

    First off, thanks for all the replies. Well no play in front end that I can detect. I hoisted front end of bike this morning. Was going to try to tighten steering nut but looking at Breva service manual they say to replace safety washer and it looks like you need a special tool to adjust...
