Originally posted by 940V ....That's handy tone, but in the fitting notes that are sent out with the module, it's recommended to leave the idle speed at the slightly higher rpm, as you don't lose much engine braking with 10:1 comp on the over-run, and it can usually help in limiting backfiring (pops and bangs) you can get with straight through absorbtion silencers....But if that's the way you like it, well that's fine by me.

1100 rpm is about right,1300 rpm is a tad fast.
so a little twiddle and bobs your uncle.
Plus it helps with the heat in traffic ,mind you its that extra cooling from the head protectors

....Ah well Insurance time is here again chillun.
I see my good ol' friend Javaman has been having a bit o' hassle with Auo-renewal premiums, so as i had just received my renewal for this year,  i decided to do a little 'shop around' to see if i could get a better deal.

This year my regular broker quoted me £152. 60 for a fully comp Aviva policy with max n.c.d.  £225.00 excess and unlimited mileage / pillion cover

I rang around a few and couldn't match this by some margin, then i had a word with 'Charlie Chan'  (J. Carole Naish to the uninitiated)....

Blimey, it was like an inquisition by telephone by a very noice ladle on the other end of the line, sans thumbscrews....

They eventually offered me an Aviva Premium policy for £161.00 after being armwrestled down quite convincingly from £188.00(ish) even after the full wonderous package on which i was now fully briefed, was being offered in the most meticulous way, such as i was aready reaching for the biro with trembling hands...(koff koff).....

Is that steep? How about yous guy's?

I dislike Carole Nash's methods even after being a customer for 20 years (familiarity breeds contempt?) but they still offered the best deal, 150 quid fully comp for two big old Guzzis, one of which now insured for a 10 grand agreed value. The premium was apologetically reduced from quite a bit more after my skilful and vociferous moaning about being rung four times a day for 10 days by them on my mobile while on holiday. Back of the net!!

Originally posted by 940V  Ha! Lesulto! I didn't know you were familiar with mandarin too I.M. that's pretty implessive.S'funny you mention the phone technique though. Since i asked the noice ladle to confirm their quote by post (they declined to email it for some reason)...i have had two subsequent phone calls from them by different associates and the letter hasn't even arrived yet...hmmm

I'm familiar with mandarin, but prefer satsuma's

Here is a better video to watch

40,000 rpm but not much action really was there tone?

Whereas the humour appears to be lost on the underlying theme of the beer advert too....Ah well.

Anyway, with a few final 'tweaks' to my personal policy requirements, i have now paid up to switch my insurance to 'J Carole Naish' I settled for Nr#49 with flied lice and clispy noodles, and i'm looking forward to my free meat cleaver and marry happy mires on my motocyclops.

No 940V, not a Bellagisti, just a humble Guzzisti.

OK Chilun, i star in reverse chronological odour 

@Grim: forget the 'flakey',  ol' chop, you stick with us ans youm sound.
If you ever get a chance to wade through the archives of this collection of crackpot's, you will understand that your airbox is now swimming in oil because 'Ferry Tuckwit' thought it was a good idea to put a bung in the airbox drain tube a.k.a. 'breather hose'...

The Bellagio is notorious for pumping out oil from the crankcase.

I refuse to go into finer detail, as it's been written so many toimes it makes my (eye) water. So. Step #1 Look just below the frame by the gear change.

You will see a rubber hose.. trace it up with your fingers to where it exits the bottom of the airbox.

Step#2: Put some newspaper (pref MCN) under your bike while it's on the side stand, pull the pipe off the union stub and leave overnight.

Step#3:  In the morning, take a piccy on your digicam and post it up on here.  ( I''ll help you, do a pm i don't bite)
