had a thought,i replaced the headlight in january so i'm wondering if i've maybe disturbed something,will be trying alllllll the sugestions at the weekend will report back on what i hopefully find kenny

any more ideas ????????please!!!!!!!

she's got a new battery last august,new relays in november,even tried the old relays but no difference,batterys kept upto charge with an optimate charger (cos thats how i lost my last battery through going flat) seems strange that she will run ok if i turn ign off for 10 secs then restart and she will run ok for about 10-15 mins???? thanks for the ideas/replys though,please keep them coming as i'm sure someone will have the answer kenny

thanks for the reply bike will be running ok but then starts to fell like its running out of fuel and starts to miss/splutter when you try to accelerate untill it just wont pull at all what i ended up doing today to get homew was to pull into slow lane pull clutch in and turn ign off,coast for count to 10 then turn back on and bike would run ok for about ten mins and i would have to do the same again i was thinking that ecu was maybe resetting it self (if thats the term) and had some sort of default setting untill a senser or something changes something i'm sure that some one has an answer for me (please!!!!!!! ) if it was the temp senser what would the symtoms likely to be???

HELP!!!!!!!! my tenni has started to cut out,start bike up and go for a run,travel about 10 mins and then feels like its running out of fuel,have to pull over before she cuts out ran with tank cap open to discount vapour lock tried playing with cut out switch no difference changed plugs no difference then found if i turn ign off,wait till count of 10 then turn back on bike will run ok for about 10 mins then do same again i think i may have a duff ecu but hope that someone will know better thanks in advance kenny

been reading this thread with intrest,lots of moaning and groaning but also a lot of common sense being spoken now this email has really stired up a hornets nest so heres my two'penneth worth 1 lifes too short,people are worrying about this email too much and reading too much into it 2 i think jaap was trying to let everyone know that the site sometimes go's way off topic and trying to pull it back into the line it was meant to follow 3 people are taking it personally when its clearly not meant that way (read the email calmly and think what jaaps trying to say) 4 we cant always like other peoples points of view,look at football,religion,politics etc to name but a few,but thats what makes us individual i hope this kinda makes sense to everyone,theres bound to be people who will disagree with me but hey thats life,disagree with me in a way thats polite and dont resort to back handed,down right nasty personal emails as some people have said they have experianced hey jaap(dont know you personally) but keep this site going,i know how hard it can be,how much time it can take up and i definatly know that point you must have reached "is it worth all this hassle" but in a few weeks time, weather will be warmer,people will get on with things and we'll be back to enjoying this site but most emportantly people may think about what they are posting and wether it's this site it should be posted on ride safe griff got me body armour on

just bought a lens and it won't fit in my headlight (its luxor type) any one needs it you can have it for £20 +p+P give me a ring on 07903051750 cheers kenny

Any one going,i'm going to be there along with my brother (me on my v11 tenni and him on v11 lemans)and a few friends see you there

don't know about that one but mines number 13 whats yours griff

i've had my tenni(0013) for nearly 2 years and no spring needed (yet) had a couple of small problems though all sorted under warranty ,had 2 sets of clocks due to misting in rain(they still do but can't be bothered anymore) and my forks changed due to gold coming off,bonus was they couldnt get any marzocci forks so fitted a full set of ohlins goldline forks and new carbon mudguard so i'm a very happy bunny cheers griff

lots of complaining and speaking direct to the man at the top and not accepting being fobbed off!!!,basicaly being a pain in the ass ,i spoke to simon hern (one of the top dogs in aprillia) and told him i would ring him every day till i got it sorted and it worked,only problems were marz forks not in stock and when ohlins fitted old mudguard wouldn't fit so he arranged for a carbon fibre one to be fitted free and under warranty what a top bloke !!!

just got the phone call ,my bikes ready,new ohlins forks and a new carbon fibre wheel guard all free and under warranty thanks to cobb and jagger (no longer guzzi dealers ) but good enough to see my problems through to the end,also thanks to simon hern at motoguzzi for finally sorting it out must get on to him again cos now my engine paint is starting to bubble the joys of owning motoguzzi!!! wouldnt have it any other way griff

yes its the master cylinder not the caliper, i just thought it was strange because my brothers lemans did the same about 6mths ago and now mine has failed,striped it and there is no sign of corrosion or anything to indicate a fault but the piston is jammed in the housing fitted a new master cylinder and its now all ok thanks to everyone for their input

CHECKED ALL THAT BUT FOUND PISTON HAD SEIZED IN MASTER CYLINDER ITSELF,IT SEEMED UNUSUAL TO SEIZE WITH OUT ANY WARNING,THANKS FOR THE IMPUT THO

ANY ONE HERE GOING TO THE VEE TWIN AT ITS NEW SITE IN FORDINGBRIDGE INSTEAD OF SHAFTSBURY IF SO SEE YOU THERE IF YOU WANT TO GET TICKETS(ANY VTWIN WELCOM) VISIT THE MGOCGB WEB SITE AND GET BOB SMITHS DETAILS OR EMAIL VIA (socialsec@motoguzziclub.co.uk) HE'S THE TICKET MASTER!!! I'LL BE THE ON MY TENNI WITH IT'S NEW OHLINS FRONT SUSPENSION

JUST A QUICK QUESTION ??? HAS ANYONE ELSE SUFFERED WITH THEIR REAR BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER SEIZING,MINE FAILED ON SUNDAY (V11 TENNI) AND LOCKED THE REAR WHEEL,ONLY GOING SLOW AT THE TIME MY BROTHERS FAILED ABOUT 6MTHS AGO IN THE SAME WAY (V11 LEMANS) BUT THEN HE,S HAD MORE REPAIRS TO HIS GUZZI THAN I CARE TO MENTION,4 GEAR BOX SPRINGS,ENGINE PAINTED,ETC ANY IDEAS????, BIKE IS USED MAINLY IN THE DRY ( I'M A WIMP )BUT FOR NO REASON AND WITH NO WARNING IT SEIZED,ONLY DONE 3000 MILES WAS THINKING ABOUT PACKING WITH SILICON GREASE BUT ANY IDEAS WOULD BE GREATFULLY RECEIVED CHEERS GRIFF

i would not hold your breath if you want to replace them with the originals fitted i've been waiting since sept 04 to get mine replaced under warranty along with my clocks as the gold is coming off and the clocks mist up in the rain
