Blimey! What a palaver but glad you got to the bottom of it. She really is a beautiful looking bike and so glad you've got her running well.......I wonder if she'd have made Biaritz? I'm not sure the Guzzi would've as she recently shat her battery around the time we would've been there.
Out of interest, how did you cure the issue, did you revert to standard followers?
Andres
I reckon the old girl would have made it I’m sure the Guzzi would have too. When you say “shat her battery “ was it just the battery or a nasty leccy issue?
I’m up for trying W&W again next year, all being well
................
Yup, defo up for next year
It literally did 'shat' the battery; press the starter and click, click, click, Then the battery whistled (loudly), then smoke started coming from it and it got VERY hot VERY quickly. You've never seen me disconnect and throw a battery in the garden so quickly Of course, I made it more complicated than it needed to be and also bought a recon starter/solenoid as I assumed that was the culprit, it wasn't Anyway, new battery & new starter/solenoid and she now starts better than ever.........

Regarding the followers, yes he reverted to a set of std ones. He had to change the cam too. He said it looked fine but couldn’t take the risk.
She does have an oil leak but again, annoyingly, this is down to poor quality replacement part. The leak is coming from the neutral switch,not from where it screws into the gearbox, but from the bloody electrical terminal on the end of the switch Easy job to fix though, as long as new switch is better than the last one.....
