    BC, Did Moto International take over the Chilliwack shop?

    Cruising Kijiji today for bikes I can't afford :(, it looks like there is "something going on" in Chilliwack (I assume Matt and Gord's shop). Any intel??

    Road salt and winter riding

    I am fortunate to live in a Canadian climate where I can ride most of the winter (about 150 miles north of Seattle by air). For years I used a 50% solution of Vinegar and water to hopefully reduce the effects of road salt. A little research a few years ago netted the following: There are 3 types...

    New dealer coming in British Columbia??

    From an insider with many years in the industry: Ignition Motorsport in Duncan, BC may become a MG dealer. Not much going on here on Vancouver Island since SG Power in Victoria quit. Hope it works out for them, and I wish them luck.

    EBC brake pad issues

    Last fall my Griso 11 needed brake pads, and with 100K km there was obvious wear on the discs (Sunstar, 4.5mm thick). I fitted EBC pads, as they are commonly available. After an hour it was obvious that the pads (HH) would not bed into the discs. Spongy lever feel and excessive lever travel. I...

    Oil pressure sending unit

    When I bought my 07 Griso 5 years ago, I picked up a spare oil pressure sender. This was the one that needed an adapter between the block and the unit, as the original was no longer available. The other day my Breva's unit failed, and I installed this combo as a replacement. An awkward task to...

    Merry Christmas to all of us wearing frozen mucklucks!

    These are my nephews and two daughters in Norway a few years ago. That is a Norton 16H from the war years, with a rope wrapped around the rear wheel for traction. Sounded like an old machine gun coming down the road from their place a km away. You gotta love the enthusiasm and that big grin from...

    Real Gaskets Tennessee

    I have used their rocker cover silicone gaskets for a couple of years with no problem, having been real careful when tightening the fasteners. I would like to hear from anyone using them on their Cali oil sump regarding thread locker etc. as I am a little uneasy about the low torque on the...

    What's up in Calgary?

    A quick check on line.....Did Blackfoot cycle drop Moto Guzzi?? I visit from the Island once a year, and enjoyed dropping in in the past. Another one bites the dust??

    Early Griso airbox was not ready for prime time.

    G-11, built Sept. '06. 80K+km. Throttle stop "sacred screw" turned down a long time ago, causing wear, and prompting "new" throttle bodies (e-bay) with only 12K miles. Like new, wit all yellow paint intact. (See "Ask The Wrench" recently) I measured the throttle plate at 5.7 mm, quite high...

    Carc swing arm color

    Has anyone come up with a color match for the carc swing arm and reaction rod? Something from the automotive spray can selection would be nice. Could use a touch-up.

    Griso speed sensor or speedo (dash) problem?

    I have searched the forum in vain. Sorry for re-hashing an old problem. Test riding an '07 G the speed indication was fluctuating at slow speed, numbers bouncing up and down in numerical value, till you reach about 40 km/h or so. Then it settles down, and reads normal at higher speeds. When you...

    Need a good PC3 map for '01 Jackal

    My Jackal is modified as follows: K&N air cleaner/front of air box opened like a mail box with snorkels and most forward facing material removed/a 1" hole cutter used to remove the blanking plug in the mufflers. They are now 1" straight through. Looking at Dynojet's offerings, the 708-004 map...

    Rear-sets for Jackal/Stone

    I have been approached by a member wanting to see the rear-sets on my Jackal. May as well post here. They are based on a hi grade alloy bar from the local Metal Mart, measuring 10x1.5x3/8" ($5 worth+$15 for powder coat). Uses many existing parts. I have used them for almost 10 years with no...

    Throttle shaft wear

    During my recent replacement of my TPS, I discovered play in the throttle shafts. The bike ('01 Jackal, 97K km) runs better than ever, but I can actually move the top of the throttle shafts slightly with the engine running. What wears? The shaft, or is there a replaceable bushing in the throttle...

    Goodbye Harley TPS

    When my TPS ('01 Jackal) failed in 2011, it was a blessing in disguise. It had been faulty all along (bought the bike second hand), and running was much improved after the replacement. The HD unit was shipped to me with the assurance that the only difference was in the purchase price. Not so. I...

    TPS replacement question

    I have run the Harley TPS for a few years, and am reverting to the FP3C unit, as it has turned out the two are not identical. '01 Jackal with the PC3. When installing the new unit and setting the fully closed value at 150 mV, there are 3 options: 1: Gently closing the throttle valve till it...

    Una Storia Steppermotoria...

    Much has been posted about this item. I would like to share my own experience, based on an '06/'07 B11. With the tank, and airbox off, you have access to this little bundle of hate and frustration (for some). If it has acted up, pull the electrical connector off, and remove the motor from it's...

    2013 G12 question

    One of these is available within my reach. Low mileage, good price. it would be my MG #6 over the years so I am used to some idiosyncrasies. The lifter problems are scary, but surely that was taken care of by then? If there are still possible issues, I will walk away, and look for a G11, as my...

    Injector issue.

    My B11 has been with me for two years. It had a badly fouled injector from long term storage, giving me problems, as posted elsewhere. Still it stumbles on start-up, and though the t/b's balance nicely @ 3K rpm with air screws closed, I need to open the left air bypass screw 210 degrees for a...

    B11 fuel line.

    Replacing the fuel filter in the tank (Thnx Grisoguzzi), I discovered the fitting that connects the fuel line to the pump assembly was breaking up. New line in hand. At the injector end it looks like the injector is a press fit with O-rings at both ends, into the manifold, and into the bracket...
