John in Leeds Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Saw these bikes when browsing for a comfortable trailey as a second bike. Hope to try one next week if the weather is dry. Power to weight is really good and if the motor is not a grenade could it be an interesting MG project? Has anyone any experience of these bikes or engines – seems intriguing?

DeBenGuzzi Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 would make a great kitbike engine. From the looks of it I think It'd look nice in just about anything I love minimalist designs like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John in Leeds Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 So, you think of a Folan ...good luck , you're going to need it I think. So what do you know? Please tell. There seems to be a lack of any info in English and I have no Swedish translator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Corsa Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 So what do you know? Please tell. There seems to be a lack of any info in English and I have no Swedish translator. My friendly Guzzi workshop mechanic had one once in his shop .That "superenduro" (or whatever is called)is without any modifications direct factory one.Well, it runs too lean in low RPM and idle in it's fuel injection. But the problem is the ECU it's in it , not only it'S an unknown unit but the way the component plate it is mounted on the box is also impossible to see the chip inside . Since the component plate is mounted in reverse from the point that the box is openned and I mean really mounted ,one had to take out even some electr. component of the plate of to get to see where what the chip was.Chip was also soldered into the plate(no numbers on it seen) so I would suppose it is an EEPROM that can be flashed through the OBD,IF........ Now ,go figure. If there's something going wrong how you'll fix it (or who's going to), in a custom made ECU unit wihout any dianotic stuff around , ect.ect.ect. (no his isn't like a MY ECU well made-supportive situation) Furthermore , dunno what other problems it may have and how one can find support and spare parts.

Orson Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I see the Highlander bikes are from Lancashire... would that be the resurrected CCM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
