Won’t fire up after valve check

Hi. Just wondering if someone could give me a lead. I have just finished checking the valve clearances which I was happy they were still in tolerance after 26000 kilos if on the minimum. I decided to leave as is but check a little sooner down the track. To do the job I removed the air box with throt...

Re: Recommend plugs

Cheers mate, my thoughts also but always good to have another opinion. Thanks for your reply. I am really enjoying setting everything up to check the valves. I purchased the bike about 4 years ago and only done about 14000 klms on it myself that has been absolutely trouble free. Thought it was about...

Un be known to me they had put in CR8EK s which looks ok on removal but maybe a little white on the electrode and the recommended heat range in the manual is a 9. Do you think I...

Linkage bushes

Hi I have an early 1200 Corsaro and am changing the Sachs for a new unit and when I removed the bolt that connects the linkage to the engine the left side did not have a metal bush between the outer caps. The right side had a bush and a cap on the linkage side with not one under the nut. Before I sl...

Re: Parts

Just did a search on the forum which answered my question. If the engine is sounding ok, cam chains are ok up to 40,000 klms plus.

Re: Parts

I forgot to mention that I met a guy only last week who lives in WA and has a 9 1/2and he mentioned Phil's name as someone who might be able to assist with parts. I know Motocicclio still have oil filters and a few bits but it is getting thin on the ground. Even though I have been a nurse most of my...

Re: Parts

Thanks for the info. I have been put in touch with the UK importer who states he can assist with parts including cam chain kits. I am at work at present but will post his details. The all up cost for 2 kits will be just over $1000 delivered to Oz. In fact the UK dealers put me in touch with him. I i...

High Country ride

It’s been awhile since I have had the time to do a solo ride up into the Victoria high country. What a great 3 days on my 1200. A new set of tyres and some work on the front end gave the bike a great feel and with unending corners through the mountains up around Mita Mita it was the best fun on a bi...

I live in Geelong in Victoria Oz and have had a long friendship with a local bike mechanic who I asked to do some recent work on my Corsaro. His name is Justin Willman and his small self ...
