Re: 500 electronic ignition
That's a shame. Is the ignition still on the bike, or did you change to something else? I've not double checked mine with the strobe yet, but it does at last tick over again and when I took it out on the motorway yesterday, it's found another 10 mph from somewhere and will rev pretty much to the red...

Re: 500 electronic ignition
I can't see I'd get rid of the 250 to be honest. It's one of the sweetest things I've ridden and I have the Guzzi for big bike thrills. Rather depressingly, it's also light enough to carry on riding when the Guzzi is just too heavy for an aging body. The reason I went for an aftermarket set up, was ...

Re: 500 electronic ignition
I've just fitted an SWF ignition on my 250 2C and I'm beyond happy with it! Easy to fit, easy to adjust and the bike is transformed, pulling much better throughout the rev range. All the original wiring is still on the bike, if I wanted to go back, but I can't think of any reason I would. The kit co...

Re: Ignition timing issues
Hi Tom I didn't realise someone was doing repairs. Unfortunately, I've already ordered the SWF system and the Morini ones are built to order. Anne at SWF said it would be done this weekend, so it's too late to cancel. Having waited 5 months to find I couldn't get a pickup, I was desperate to sort it...

Re: Shop full of Spares. Stock from closed dealer in Barcelona
I'd had the transducers before and while it too a couple of gently reminders, I did get them.This time I waited months but eventually got an update after may polite requests to say no pickups. Apparently the factory making them has closed due to illness. He has said he's got some of his own design h...

Re: Ignition timing issues
I should have the SWF setup by next week and I'll do a proper report once I've fitted it. I like the fact it's a complete kit with coils etc and everything is on the pickup board, so no extra control box to mount and wire. It's also considerably cheaper than the Sachse kit, when you factor in the co...

Re: Ignition timing issues
Hi Dave. I did get transducers from Alex some time ago and they did cure my timing issues. Unfortunately, it then transpired I had a dodgy pickup on the front cylinder as well. I ordered a pickup months ago and Alex finally got back to me this week to say the last one in stock had damaged wiring and...

Re: Shop full of Spares. Stock from closed dealer in Barcelona
That's the email I used. I sent several polite reminders over a period of a few weeks and he eventually asked me to send the money via PayPal 29th October. I have sent several more polite enquiries but nothing. I asked for a refund a few weeks ago, but still no response so sadly, it looks like the m...

Re: Shop full of Spares. Stock from closed dealer in Barcelona
Hi Ian Can I ask where you managed to get one? Stien Dinse say they have them on order but I can't find them anywhere else. Having had transducers off Alessandro Luzzi in Italy before, he was supposed to be sending me one 3 months ago, but once I sent the money, he vanished off the face of the earth...

Hi there. I don't suppose you have a black pickup available?
Thanks, Barry

Re: 250 2C Seat
Thanks all for your input. I was told the 350 seat was wider. A chap very local to me has a 250 2c off the road at the moment (and owes me quite a big favour) so I might see if I can borrow his saddle to look at. As my fittings seems correct, it could be my seat pan could have an extension welded an...

Re: 2023 AGM
Thanks to both the Committee who organised the rally and everyone else who made me feel so welcome as a new member. A great weekend and as a bonus, I learnt more about the bike in the space of a couple of beers than I have in the previous 12 months of ownership. Thanks also for the good advice regar...

250 2C Seat
I'm after a seat to replace the one on my 250. Inspection by those at the Rally failed to determine what's on it at the moment, but what ever it is, it's spoiling the look of the bike. Condition doesn't matter and even the seat pan would be great, as I we have someone local who could make up the foa...

Re: Ignition timing issues
These are the photo's I sent to Alex. IMG_20230612_081932157.png IMG_20230612_082104015.png Until I looked at the potos, I'd not really nticed the chock block is actualy holding a componant, rahter than just joining wires. It's not got any markings, but I suspect it's a diode, which would make sense...

Re: Ignition timing issues
Hi Mark Thanks for the advice! I'd actually contacted Alex yesterday and he's put a couple of transducers in the post for me. He did ask me to check the pick up colour first (black) , so at least everything will be matched. The bike's currently fitted with the red transducers shown on the Dutch site...
