    Front Wheel Shenanigans

    Thank you! Yes, I am very happy I got it fixed and the cost was very reasonable. I really didn't want to ride the bike with one less bolt on the disc. So, worst case scenario, I was going to get the cast wheels that you got which, imho, make the bike look a lot better!

    Front Wheel Shenanigans

    The shop I found was really good with beyond reasonable pricing! He charged $45 total which included removal of all the broken bits (using EDM equipment) and then inserting an oversize plug due to enlarged/elongated hole (my handy work). Then, as planned before, I replaced all the bolts even...

    Centauro chat

    Scott, I noticed you were riding a Centauro in that photo of yours which I had never seen one up close. Today I stopped by at this guy's MG shop to see if he had a wheel for sale, anyhow, he had a really cool, Griso like bike sitting in front of his shop that I really liked. Turns out, it was a...

    Front Wheel Shenanigans

    Symmetrically positioned, I'd think even 4 would work. Naturally not as ideal or strong as having all 6 but I seriously doubt the engineers would use barely adequate number of bolts, especially for such a vital component, am I wrong? I'd be shocked to see 5 couldn't do the job but not trying to...

    Front Wheel Shenanigans

    Shop stated the actual bolt somehow got pushed at an angle and into the aluminum wheel so it is no longer possible to just extract and plug it. He said he would have to enlarge it in the other direction as well then be able to align and plug the hole. Of course the bill doubled. I decided to...

    Front Wheel Shenanigans

    The first one came off normal so I continued on to the rest. When the next bolt seemed to start slipping, I applied PBBlaster to all bolts and waited like 30-40 minutes. Then cleaned the tips with Simple Green and went at it again but each bolt stripped so easily I couldn't believe it! I did...

    Front Wheel Shenanigans

    Hello all, I was not too crazy about spoke wheels and due to salty air, the disc bolts got corroded (along with other bits and parts on the bike), and appeared to be seized. All but one stripped when I was trying to take them off. Using an extractor bit, I was able to get the rest but one...

    Missing fastener/nuts on the side panel

    Update: I had to swap the M6 for the correct size which is M5 for anyone interested.

    Electrical - Installing a DVR system

    Hello all, I have installed the DV988 DVR system on my Stelvio and even made a video on it if anyone is interested. I also have the 20% discount code in the notes section if anyone was actually in the market for getting one. I did a bit of a research between different makes and even different...

    Valve Clearance for Roller Tappets

    Interesting. The bike is currently at 6100 miles, it was checked around 800 miles (for the 600-mile service). The engine seemed a little noisier recently and I was suspecting the valve clearance might be off. You might be right and it might be a waste of time but I am kinda of curious and do not...

    Valve Clearance for Roller Tappets

    Were you serious? Wasn't that way too tight? My service is due and valve clearance is one of the maintenance items on the list. As I was trying to decide whether I want to try the 10mm-15mm settings, I saw your post and got even more confused! Has anyone checked between valve jobs to see if the...

    Missing fastener/nuts on the side panel

    Actually, someone replied last night and informed me what they were called but I don't see that post any more for some reason? Anyhow, as kiwi dave also mentioned, they are called "rubber well nut" and it goes thru the hole on the side panel not the gas tank. I was able to check the other one...

    Missing fastener/nuts on the side panel

    Hi everyone, I have no idea what this part is called but I seem to have lost it on one of the side panels. This is where the bottom bolt of the plastic wind deflector things screws into. To be honest, I could leave without those things installed but wanted to check here to see if it can be...

    Electrical - Installing a DVR system

    Thank you! I had to edit this post once I realized what was missing; the always on (red) power connection. The cigarette lighter on the instrument cluster was providing me the ACC power and the ground connections but NOT the always on power which is why the unit was shutting off after a short...

    Electrical - Installing a DVR system

    Hello everyone, I have a new DVR system to install on my '17 Stelvio but wasn't sure about how to go about installing the permanent power harness to bike as electrical systems are a bit daunting to me. I was going to connect to the front cigarette lighter outlet which I never used but the...

    Charcoal Canister Removal - Detailed with Pictures

    This is a shot of my '17 Stelvio gas tank connections. I believe I ended up holding and slightly twisting the gray-ish circular retainer thing as i push down the line connector then pulling gently to pop it off. Barely a drop or two of fuel came out! No burping or farting, at least not from the...

    Charcoal Canister Removal - Detailed with Pictures

    Thank you, Scott. That is what I indeed ended up doing! =) I removed the plumbing for the canister and instead of reusing the existing hoses, I cut about 6' fresh fuel line with 1/4" ID and it seemed to be same to the stock hose and it did fit the nipple on the fuel tank snug enough but I will...

    Charcoal Canister Removal - Detailed with Pictures

    Thank you. So, it is like PowerCommander? Does the tool come with a software to create the maps? If not, where do you get them from? I am relatively new to MG and to this forum so please excuse me if my questions seem silly or redundant.

    Charcoal Canister Removal - Detailed with Pictures

    Curious, what exactly is the reflash tool for? Also, after removing the canister, is the TBS Sync really needed?
