  1. Another option is to glue it. We use ABS in 3D printing. It dissolves with acetone. You can make a slurry of ABS shavings and acetone and use that to glue it together. Once the acetone evaporates you have... ABS...
  2. I don't think it's driveline as it always at the same revs regardless of speed. Mine's just enough to be annoying so I may go in and rebalance the TBs. They were pretty close but I'll try harder.
  3. Start with the easiest stuff to access. Relays. Coils rarely fail in pairs.
  4. No spark on either side mean you should be looking at the ignition and not the coils.
  5. Let's be clear that because mine does it doesn't mean it's right!
  6. Mine certainly does that. Doesn't mean it should although most reviews of the bike when it was released mentioned the vibration. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. So much for the hidden color code theory.
  8. That's why there's safety wire in the tool kit! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  9. That reminds me I need to ride up to Moto International. See, saving on shipping already! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  10. While this was actually a left/front or right/rear (note the drain hole) it will still work just fine. Thanks again BigBlock! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  11. Well, yes but being a proper Guzzi owner (i.e. Cheap, er, thrifty) maybe a button head for $.20 is the same thing? Besides shipping will be 8x the price of the part! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  12. Not the one he has circled. The one that pushes the switch. This looks like a hex head but the one one mine is rounded. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  13. something I looked at last year and posted... It got me thinking about a color change. Researching the vin breakdown, every number or letter is accounted for except the 9th. KR is the model (Sport?) and AKR is the variant (LM?) The 9th is described as undefined, or free. It has a range of 0 to 9. Anyone have any idea what that is for? None of the rest are reserved for color. The vin on both my bikes are the same but for the 9th (the LM is a 4 and the Tenni is a 6) and the last five (serial) Anyone have a green bike with a 9th character other than 2?

  15. It looks pretty thin. I have a thicker black wire I can add.
  16. The bolt on my bike almost looks like a standard button head. The one docc posted looks like a hex that has been ground so the head is rounded?
  17. Remember, silver bikes are just green ones they forgot to add the green tint to...
  18. The photo was pretty dark which made it more difficult. And that red is a tough color to match on a good day. But this should be close:
  19. I tried to but it's crowded up there. But I also didn't try very hard. I'll look again.
  20. I believe one of mine has been replaced and the needles don't match. There are markings on the back on the instrument that says something like "Used Checked Good" or something.
  21. There's a ground wire on the regulator. Is this stock or did someone add it? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  22. I got the new Michelin Pilot Road 4 on the front. Extremely sticky. Can't wait to try it in the wet. Actually I can wait... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Are new bezels not available? For Smiths they use an elaborate contraption to roll the crimp back on. You can also do it if you have a lathe.
  24. Paint them orange and then a UV resistant clear.
