    Pulsing at Speed

    Another discovery is the OEM Dunlop rear tyre. I've had three now and they all go square or deform badly as I try to squeeze more life out of them but I never quite reach the wear bars. The vibration resulting in a constant shudder will extend to the handle bars. I thought my head bearings were...

    Pulsing at Speed

    At first, I simply cut the lead on the lower cap and used an aftermarket long NGK cap and modified the rubber cover from the original lead. I tried the same technique on the upper plug but the NGK cap was to big for hole and got jammed. I bit the bullet and bought four new leads from Guzzi...

    Pulsing at Speed

    Eventually found the buggers causing the vibes. The long spark plug caps were broken internally and the bike had been arcing away for some time. Explains why it was more pronounced under load. New leads installed and all good now

    Pulsing at Speed

    Turns out I'm not a total nutjob. The vibes lessoned overall with the new tighter lid but there was still an agressive resonance from around 4000 rpm. Checked tappets - all good, plugs/leads -all good. The bike itself was vibe free at speed (120) except the extremities like bars were...

    Pulsing at Speed

    Mea Culpa time - in my quest to locate where this damn vibration was coming from, I was positioning myself all over the bike at speed to find it. As I got down behind the fairing the vibration mostly went away. Put my head up and yep it was back...... Seems I've been wearing my favourite helmet...

    Ignition Switch Fail

    Same thing happened to me also with the same stupid spring stuck in the up position preventing contact. In my case it led to a hot joint which melted the insulation on the ignition wires causing a short. I replaced the switch as described by Ste and in the downtime I considered a more reliable...

    Pulsing at Speed

    Thanks for the reply. The products look to be essential for me regardless. I'll be ordering shortly. I would add that I had the bike on PADS recently to get the latest maps and clear some issues as even a Luddite such as myself are aware of the importance of s/w to maintain its citizenship...

    Pulsing at Speed

    I have done around 60000 klms on a 14 Touring and living remote to dealers means I do my own servicing so I'm looking for a reference from others on a slight pulsing that mine gets when between 3800 - 4800 rpm in any gear and more noticeable when traveling uphill. Does anyone else experience...

    OEM Touring Seat after 8000 miles

    Interestingly, I have a touring and swapped out its seat for a custom. Two reasons, one it was there and two the touring seat gave me bum burn after an hour of riding but not once did I think to put on a sheep skin . I like the custom seat but I'll give that a go to see how it compares. Cheers

    Can bus error message

    I know this post looks resolved but just for the record, if you have disconnected the dash and are getting the CAN CODE ERROR after reconnecting an original dash, try using the original key block and if still doesn't clear then double check that the connection on the back of the dash is well...

    New 1400s any known issues before I buy an elderado?

    Well I hope you get over that initial issue wasacruser as I think you've just been unlucky to have picked one with a dud Alternator. I wouldn't believe that would be a Guzzi assembled item. Anyhow I can only add that I've done around 45k on my touring and never had a problem. I commute year...
