It would seem that the ribs reinforce the case laterally as well as longitudinally. If shaft end play was noticed as a problem I wonder why they didn't reinforce the rear cover? Adding some ribs there would have increased the section modulus of the cover and make it more resistant to bending. Easy f...

Are you sure you have the right switch? I believe the early switches had tapered threads and the later ones had straight threads...orz it the other way round? In either case the switch threads may not match your case threading.

A lot of people like the Odyssey:

As do I.

I use an Odyssey PC680 on my R100. Bought it in 2008. Still very good condition.

BTW, can you post a link to the place you bought the Hall sensor?

I haven't had to go into mine yet but I saved this link.

I'm not saying that this is the way to do it but I ran about 5 years with vinyl "thread protectors" ( the black ones) from Home Depot slipped over the old hose connections that remained after I removed the old emissions crap from my 82 R100. Gas didn't affect them and never had a vacuum le...

Its an 82 R100

Starter was getting sluggish even with very good battery conditions....found a cracked brush and nose bushing pretty well worn

After getting advice from several Moto Guzzi and airhead people that have actually replaced the brushes using solderand having the starter still operate reliably, I'll just solder the new brushes in. Here was my area of concern. It was soldering the field coil connections. Look at picture # 27 here....

Will be easy to prevent wicking solder. Just tin both parts and position solder parts to work with gravity then use hemostats or needle nose pliers to be a heat sink on the braid near teh connection point. My problem is solder, silver solder, crimp, or crimp and solder. If solder what blend Bb/Sn Th...

Yeah I know.
