Re: Grey GP new owner

Congratulations, I had my eye on that myself!
I found an owners manual and parts list, but could not find a workshop manual anywhere.
Personally, I would stick to E5. The tanks will swell out of shape the best of times, I think E10 will just make it worse.

Re: Swing arm failure

Thats not good reading. I am 12 months in of ownership of my GP, and after repairing bodge after bodge after bodge, this is concerning.
My mates constantly take the pis* and joke that will kill me one day. After reading this, its probably not a joke after all.

Re: Fork axle sliders

They are exactly the same size.
I have previously used 6/8mm stainless stud, nuts and washers with some bobbins you can get anywhere to make axle sliders.

Re: Should both headlights be on for full beam?

Few things, High beam will only come on if the engine is running. Low beam will switch itself off after about 30 sec if you dont start the engine ( side lights in both stay on). Low beam switched off when High is selected.

Re: Rectifier

Last year I pulled my Corsaro out of winter hibernation. It had sat in the garage with a CTek charger connected. On the way to the MOT, I noticed the volts dropping. By the time I got there it was 8.5V. To cut a long story short, the rectifier was dead. No sign whatsoever of any damage, smell etc. I...

Re: High mileage

Glynn, I can say that I looked at this bike a few years ago. I turned up and the guy was at work and his wife was annoyed as she did not know it was for sale. She said it was a very comfortable bike. In my opinion, the bike was very well maintained. The oil is the same as I use. The barrels are Gil...

Re: Rear axle nut

For future reference, the nut is 25mm 2mm thread pitch. In an emergency, a 25mm electrical steel conduit nut will fit. They are thin, so a few of them together will get you back on the road.

Re: anyone out there

There is a pretty active Corsaro section in the club (Corsaro not obligatory) and quite a few of us have both air and watercooled Morini in the garage. If you fancy an amble out this coming weekend, the club has a day at the Triumph factory planned. Factory tour places are sold out but you can stil...

Re: anyone out there

I have been away from the forum for a while, and came back on after dragging the Corsaro out to prep it prior to the TT. The forum seems to be quite ref any 'newer' MM.
Nice GP, and local ( to me) I am on the look out for one.

Regulator/rectifier

Hi everyone, its been a while.
The reg on my Veloce has gone pop. Any suggestions to source a new one quickly? The TT is coming up fast and I want to get sorted ASAP.
Thanks!
