    Modern "No Start" issue solution

    ??? I don't know what sounds testy to you. I was only expressing frustration with the ever-recurring starting problem "enjoyed" by so many. Try being stranded somewhere very inconvenient due to this problem and let us hear from you.

    Modern "No Start" issue solution

    I think I know what you mean, but not starting isn't a small thing. I've had the problem suddenly recur when I was far away in the hot desert. My enjoyment was greatly reduced. I have twice "fixed" the problem. The 1st time using the MPHCycles kit, the 2nd adding my own jury-rigged workaround...

    Aux Brake Light on B11

    I've searched here for a complete answer to this with no luck. I'm trying to add aux brake lights but running into the CAN bus (or whatever MG uses in their harness) problems. There are 3 wires going to the MG talight: a ground, a brake light wire and one for the taillight. I tapped into the...

    Non-startus iterruptus starting problem

    Sorry not to have replied sooner. I usually get emails telling me someone has replied to my posts, but not this time. Short story: it is starting again. I made changes but I cannot explain why they made a difference. I reinstalled the MPH startus interruptus wiring. Previously I had attached...

    Non-startus iterruptus starting problem

    Be forewarned this is a long & tedious description of an as yet unsolved starting problem with my '06 Breva 1100. I'm letting those know who aren't knowledgable or interested in (electrical) things so I don't waste their time. Speaking of being knowledgeable, I know enough about electrics of...

    CARC Leak

    Brian UK wrote: Brian, I did the above then looked more closely at the old seal. I found a sort of spring collar in it that I could pull out with my fingers. Egad -- was I supposed to transfer that to the new seal before installation? Maybe the new one had one, too, and I just didn't look...

    CARC Leak

    I find the MG part on Harper's for same price. On MG Cycle for $29.80. At Cadre Cycle (Cincinnati) for $20.51. https://cadrecycle.com/product/gasket-ring-85x110x8-basl/ All those + ~$9-10 shipping.

    Thanks, Ron! Most didn't get the gist of the OP: I was looking for detailed instructions.

    CARC Leak

    At 450 for 90 minutes, turning once when browned. :D Never having this problem before I don't know what a "good" vs. "baked" seal looks like.

    CARC Leak

    I've got crud flipped on the right side of the rear wheel of my Breva 1100 again. First time it happened I thought it was just some "extra" grease that flew out after some higher speed hwy riding. This time it looked very wet at the bottom of the final drive. I removed the rear wheel and took...

    breva 1100 seat and tank not matching up

    I also had trouble getting the bolt hole to line up at the back of the tank. Many have told me it's the effect that ethanol has on the tank. It's very likely causing the bad fit for the saddle as well. Ron

    B11 Leaky Valve Cover

    Have to tell "the rest of the story:" The problem was not the valve cover gasket after all. When the leak began again, and even worse, I removed the gas tank and valve cover to replace the gasket yet again. That's when I noticed the rubber tubing at the back front of the cylinder head which...

    B11 Worth Replacing Fuel Tank Insulation?

    Recent repairs called for removing tank and air box so I took the opportunity to check the air filter. Inside I found several large, thin, black flakes which I found were coming from the underside of the fuel tank. The material was the outer layer of the insulation. So much of it was already...

    rear flashers with braking light?

    Maybe we should make this sub-topic a separate thread? Seb, I'm running into the same problem adding a 3rd brake light. Tapping into the brake light wire, I get full brightness when the brake is applied, but releasing the brake leaves the light on at half brightness instead of turning off...

    B11 Leaky Valve Cover

    SUCCESS!! -- so far. That is, I took it out for a bit to include higher speeds, higher revs, downshifting, and just cruising for a bit. No leaking I can discern. The key for me was probably better cleaning of the cover and head surfaces before installation. I noticed there were still black...

    B11 Leaky Valve Cover

    Good explanation, as the shapes are definitely different. Still seems counterintuitive that oil could "wick" out if the cover were properly torqued down, provided the gasket itself weren't compromised. But I bow to experience. Oh well, I've already ordered some of the "newer" replacements in...

    They don't look like matches to me.
