Now finished most of the cosmetic improvements and done a full service with all oils, filters, plugs etc replaced. Thanks to Paul in helping with tracking and camber, all front end set up too! I still struggle to start it cold if left for more than a few days. Is there a technique to start an 1100 E...

The brief manual I have is clear on camber and tracking but it specifies a starting caster setting of 7 degrees but doesn't say if this is positive or negative caster.

Also my chassis is lower on the driver's side. I assume the only way to adjust this is shock tension?

Help please.....

No, leaks stopped with PTFE tape!!!!!

I don't want to take it out till I have all the stuff to do the oil change. Alan sent a few used washers with my last order of bits but they look too big.

For the next phase of work I need the car higher up so want to put it on four axle stands.

Proposing to use the front chassis members just behind the exhaust and at the back use the two beams that run under the floor pan - are they strong enough or are there better points to use.

Thanks

Andy

Looking at the Guzzi workshop manual and the Triking manual I was helpfully sent, the gearbox has a bolt to check the level, a drain bolt under the box and a filler bolt. Mine has a rubber plug for the filler I think. It looks to be in the right place but just want to be sure. Photo attached. Thanks...

Thanks all!

All stuff ordered ready except I want to put new crush washers on the sump plugs. Can't find anywhere what size they are. Told M10, but looks much bigger to me Any ideas on a California injected 1999?

Sorry, me again! Almost finished the long list of cosmetic repairs and improvements so on to the mechanical..... Staring with a general service. Whilst the car has only done 1000 miles since build and oils look very clean, I am assuming the 2 previous owners have not changed anything so will start f...

Thanks, another project on the list!!

Wow, looks very professional!

I'll try the wood and hammer idea first, thanks Tony.

"Under seat tool kit"? My seats just sit on the floor! I did wonder if they would be more comfortable slightly raised and if they should be fixed to be safe?

I am about to remove the front wheels to re-grease the wheel bearings. To remove the wheel nut cover - is there a specialist tool? It is soft aluminium and in a bit of a dish, so difficult to fit an adjustable spanner to. I don't want to damage it. Looks about 55mm? Is there a box spanner available?...
