    03 Stone Touring - Driveline Vibration?

    Hi John Thanks for your assistance, this is back together and working as it's supposed to again without the noise or vibration it had before. I removed about 1 mm from the inner face of the casing and that's given it the clearance it needs. Nothing else was required. The shift drum was...

    03 Stone Touring - Driveline Vibration?

    Thanks for the sound advice John. It'll be a few weeks before I reassemble the gearbox. I'll let you know the outcome. I haven't decided how I'm going to tighten the nut on the output shaft yet. If I sacrifice a socket and the drive shaft sleeve joint I could weld a handle to the socket and...

    03 Stone Touring - Driveline Vibration?

    Hi John In the attachment you can see the layout as it came apart. The nut is finger tight in this shot and all components are as removed. There is no play at all in the double-row output shaft bearing but its probably prudent to replace it as it's working hard. The washer (I referred to it as...

    03 Stone Touring - Driveline Vibration?

    Hi John I thought that too but its not the case. It's definitely the secondary or output shaft. The thrust bearing you refer to is fine and that's not the shaft I'm referring to. I've attached a photo looking down into the gearbox casing. I put a blob of red grease where the contact mark is...

    P8 ECU and idle trim screw info

    Cheers John That explains why I couldn't find the adjuster when looking for it last night! The atmospheric pressure sensor looks different too but the rest of the components apart from the fuel pump and filter arrangement seem to be the same or similar. Regards Ian :idea:

    03 Stone Touring - Driveline Vibration?

    I found the source of the problem. The end of the secondary shaft is bottoming on the front end of the gearbox casing when the throttle is closed, obviously load sends it in the other direction. When it's cold there is no contact but once it's hot it's grinding on the casing. It doesn't cause...

    03 Stone Touring - Driveline Vibration?

    Hi All Ive been through the drive-line from the rear spline to the clutch and cant find the source of the vibration that's been annoying me. What I've learned is that this thing isn't call an old tractor for nothing, the size of the pinions, shafts and bearings put many a modern car to shame...

    P8 ECU and idle trim screw info

    Thanks Dave This is excellent reference material, much appreciated. My California Stone is all over the workshop floor at the moment. I'll be tweaking the trim screw using a CO gas analyzer when its back in one piece. The system is the same as on many of the Fiat and Lancia vehicles I've worked...

    03 Stone Touring - Driveline Vibration?

    Appreciated! I thought that might be the case and it's the obvious place to start considering the age and mileage. Thanks

    03 Stone Touring - Driveline Vibration?

    Hi All, I'm getting a harmonic vibration through the drive-line of this bike that is apparent on over-run and very light load. The bike has always had this idiosyncrasy during my tenure with it but it used to be only just noticeable in 2nd and 3rd gear. It has recently become noticeable in all...

    Toe & heel gear lever

    Hi, does anyone know of a replacement gear lever that will work on my 03 Stone Touring. The heel section of the standard lever gets in the way and annoys me on longer trips. It seems a shame to saw the original one up. Cheers Ian

    03 California Stone Touring- throttle opening

    Hi All I've run the bike without the air box and it goes like I always suspected it could. It now feels like a 74hp bike instead of a 45hp bike and it revs crisp and clean. For anyone wondering we're all the power has gone on their California, check the throttle linkage. The previous owner...

    03 California Stone Touring- throttle opening

    Hi I knew there was a problem here! The central pivot for the throttle linkage carries the fast idle actuator. When the fast idle part seizes on the throttle linkage part the throttle works fine until the fast idle actuator tries to break the plastic links to the throttle bodies. Once this...

    03 California Stone Touring- throttle opening

    Thanks Todd I'll be talking to you about the Power Commander once Ive got the mechanical components how I want them. I bought this bike a s a project to play about with. The suspension is tired and the riding position doesnt suit me so i'll be making plenty of changes there too and I'm keen on...

    03 California Stone Touring- throttle opening

    Thanks, I understand that. I fully appreciate what you are saying but in that case why did the factory not use smaller throttle bodies and open them. The bike certainly feels like it would like a little extra breath even within the limitations of the cylinder head/camshaft architecture (the...

    03 California Stone Touring- throttle opening

    Hi all, I m trying to get my head around why this bikes throttle linkage is limiting the opening of the butterflies in the throttle bodies. There's at least 30degrees of rotation left before the butterfly reaches the positive stop cast into the throttle body. The linkage is the limiting factor...
