Hello,
Is there any tightening torques table available besides the service manual ones? There are many bolts and nuts missing from the service manuals both 2005 and 2007.
One other thing. Todd wrote that the plates all "have some type of tiny marking such as this". But as you can see by this better photo it isn't that tiny.
You may call me stubborn, but I still wonder what may have caused it...
Just want to know so I can prevent other identical situations...
The part have arrived today from SD germany and I have a little problem with a seal.
I ordered the seals from a local part dealer and He couldn't find the small seal (camshaft) in viton.
My question is if it is safe to install a std seal in the camshaft ?
What is the purpose of that seal, I...
Ok, thank you for the advice, I will replace the main and the seal.
I still wonder what causes the bearing to crack like that in only 40.000Km's, could overheating or faulty lubrication been the cause?
It looks like it has been like that for some time and the fact that the seal has been leaking...
The tensioner looks to be fine, and after I removed the main bearing I found out the cause of the clearance.
Don't know how that happens.. Asked opinion to a couple of mechanics and their opinion were that It had bad lubrication, or because of the wear marks in the front and rear maybe the...
After many tries we spotted a bad sparkplug on the left cilinder, the spark was not always strong. Changed it for an old one and she works fine.
Must replace the cable plugs that go into the distributor and new sparkplugs again...
Try to post some more photos of the bike.
Thanks.
Hello,
This very pretty signora that has just been restaured by it´s proud owner developed a strange problem that has been driving us crazy these past few weeks.
After the restoration the bike started great, worked very well for 2 or 3 rides (about 150Km's) but then it just started to choke and...
Ok, thank you for fast reply, John.
I have a few questions.
How do I measure it to see if it is worn? do I need to remove the crankshaft? Is it normal to be worn in 40.000Km? What causes it? All maintenace intervals were respected (with 8000 Km´s interval) loaded with 5W40 oil in the 2 first...
Hello,
During a front crankshaft seal change procedure I noticed some endplay on the crankshaft. That clearance is only noticed on 45º angle, horizontally and vertically it has practicaly no clearance but on a 45º angle it moves enough to stretch the chain and see the tensioner moving.
Is that...
Hi,
My G11 has a small leak at that same spot, been like that for years. If the engine needs to be opened I´ll fix it with new gaskets...
Hope I won´t have to remove the cilinders because of that leak becoming bigger.
Hi,
I use Brembo RCS on both clutch and brake, and although expensive It was the best upgrade I did on my 06 1100 Griso.
The brake feeling and power are much better, and the clutch works better too.
Hello There,
I´ve had that issue too on both sides, I´m on the fourth gasket swap and it´s been 20.000Km without a problem. Also had a leg and foot full of oil twice, but I finally solved the problem.
I used thicker gasket paper that I found in an old auto part dealer and some engine joint...
Here she is with full Titanium coming from Faro 2013. Those pictures were taken in Serra do Caldeirão, Algarve. N2 road the longest Portuguese road.
Wicked mountain road, hairpin after hairpin, uphill downhill kilometers of fun..
Take some pictures this weekend and post later.
