  1. Don't worry, adjust the valves, and ride. #1 the head doesn't wear. Guides, seats, valve faces, cam lobes, etc. wear. #2 unless your bike has a burnt valve or leaks compression you have no worries. #3 I don't think M/G heads are going to give trouble except for the soft cam lobes on some bikes.
  2. I don't think I have ever heard of a Brazilian woman drowning !
  3. My best has been 40 mpg. Most of the time mine is 25-35 mpg and it all depends on how I ride which is usually not too good.

    It is November 5, 2008. We will never live (or have to waste )this day again. Make the most of it and "carpe deim"! it's 66.5 deg. and going to be 78deg. for the high today. I might close my shop today for theraputic reasons.
  5. Docc, I have a Phoenix hydraulic bleeding tool if you want to borrow (or anyone else) to finish the job. If you are thinking about buying one for yourself take a nitroglycerin tablet before pricing it.
  6. Good news....it's wheelie time!!!
  7. That's where YOU come in...
  8. Who are you ? "ghostrider" Watch this please.........and then leave a comment. GHOST RIDER - BUSA TURBO

    election

    If you are referring to the US elections. Both sides are scared the other will win. I am afraid the rigged "banana republic" voting booths will work for the third time in a row! A Democracy my ass..
  10. Good logic..Save one Ducati for wheelies,stoppies,burnouts,etc.. All the things you are too old to do. Which reminds me of a joke my aunt told me... What are the last four words you hear every redneck say? "Hey y'all watch this!"
  11. Where do you live? I would probably buy from the servicing dealer. He will be more likely to help after the sale. It will be nice to drive an hour vs 5 hours to buy though.
  12. My 2002 parts catalog shows 1 part # for all bikes. LeMans,Rosso Corsa, Sport,etc... Pt # 01 46 05 60. You need to look at Rich Maund or there is another(can't think of his name) man mentioned on this site that does good work. IMO Corbin is the WalMart of saddles.
  13. Never been into one of these. Cn you post a picture of the replacement parts in order?

    Hello!

    Aren't there cliffs , traintracks, theft or some other "acts of God" that can hurry up your need?

    Hello!

    There is NO anti-venom, you are now F****D!!! I bought mine through this site and had never touched one before.
  16. I thought I remembered the (whole)bike in the picture.It was too beautiful for words......
  17. The Stelvio ( for the market share it's after) is absolutely beautiful.. The Griso I would have to look at (the color) in person. It can be painted to suit anyone else's taste.Belfast Guzzi's sunset pic of his Griso tells me "Black is the only color" for this bike.The Griso is the sexiest bike MG has sold to date. BFGuzzi by the way, tell us about the setting where you took this picture I am referring to!

    Hello

    Of course you're in already!
  19. NoNoNo!!! Check it with the coil wire disconnected,unplugged,removed not in series,etc. You will put one test lead in the cavity where the coil wire WAS and the other test lead where (touching the wire pins) the wiring harnes was plugged in. This is where you are looking for contniuity of around 3 ohms.
  20. The primary and secondary windings share a common connection. That is why all 3 of these should read continuity. This "coil" is a transformer that steps-up voltage through induction and turn ratio in the windings. That is why you will get a reading at all 3 connections. You are testing this without the coil wire plugged in ?
  21. To mske sure we are on the same page.....measuring the resistance across the two terminals at the coil plug-in I get around 1ohm of resistance. Measuring from either of these terminals to the coil tower (plug wire connection) I get approximately 3 ohms of resistance. If any of these are open, replace the coil. p.s. 1ohm variation in the resistance is not extraordinary.....
  22. Send me $1000.00 and I'll see to it you are properly forgiven. BTW, did you get the brackets made yet?
