I hate to burst your bubble but the bolt broke first then the rod cap........ This is evident by looking at the pictures.

It's not me, I use another brand of fluid..... Docc (I think) & others have had problems w/the Redline fluid.....

Some members have experienced unrepairable oil leaks w/Redline so consider this when you decide..............

The connecting rod broke causing the connecting rod failure....................

There are way too many factors (tire condition, miles, riding style,etc.)to tell you what you need to do........ Each is an individual case that only you can decide what is best for you .

A Griso............... Wow !

I don't think Hylomar is made for your intended purpose. New 0-rings & silicone sealant I think is what you need.Make SURE there are no cracks or warped surfaces. Can you post pics?

I think they do not want the battery charged at that rate provided there was no load or discharge being applied to the battery......

If you got it , flaunt it !

Buy a new neutral indicator switch and sidestand switch. Order them from your normal MotoGuzzi dealer.

You would have to understand the need for the alignment.......... Google it for a thorough understanding..........

I am thinking you need to stake the insert with a punch. Take a tap & chase the threads where the screw will go in w/o binding.

A "near death experience" ........... Yes.

Do replace both of them.

You need to find a PowerCommander dealer/installer that can use a laptop to "adjust" the map a bit !

Are you running PREMIUM fuel ? If not, use it. I don't care how much it costs, use it ! Use fuel with the least alchohol content and do not use convenience store fuel either. Name brand only !

If you are not sure, concentrate on ONE cylinder at a time. One revolution @ TDC will have the exhaust valve closing while the intake valve is opening. Rotate the crankshaft one revolution until that cylinder is @ TDC again. This will give you the position you want to adjust the valves on that particular cylinder. After adjusting the valves on that side, go to the other side and repeat the procedure. Good luck.

You will have to obtain the motorcycles for free to in order to make a profit on the amount of charges/expenses that will pile up on you before you sell each bike.

605 euro. Then frieght. I did the currency convertor y/day. $795 I think...........

Why does Agostini always sell such beauty ?

Reinstall it to it's original location. Too many people think they know something they don't.

Absolute top dead center is not critical......Being within 25 degrees or so is fine. Savagehenry's advice is as plain and simple as it can get.

The picture Slav has indicates trouble with the lifter foot (the part that rides against the cam lobe). This pitting is the beginning of failure. When you see this it is time for a new cam and all lifters ! Anyone who removes the lifters and does NOT reinstall them in the same bores will have failure for sure. By the way. This convex of the lifter foot is so small you can't see it.

I saw a Scura in Louisville a few years ago. Looked great except for the paint blistering (just like mine)on the engine block.. Do all Scura models do this ?

WOW !
