Never seen one Ken. Have you? What are they like? With a name like that it sounds ponderous. But I'm used to a Tiger 955i which is really challenging - weight wise (at least when the tank is full). So The Cagiva is probably a lightweight wee thing by comparison.wornsprokets wrote:The cagiva.... elephant...

There are lots of similar clock/voltage gauges on ebay, but this one has the advantage that the setting buttons are on the front. I weather proofed it (I hope) by smearing silicone electrical grease across them to prevent water being able to get in at all.ZekeVal wrote:Wow, that's a luxurious piece of kit! Is it weather proof?
I'm looking to change mine very soon. I think it mentions in the haynes to remove the exhaust or muffler ...is that necessary? How did you take the weight off the suspension? I was thinking about jacking it or something?Crash- Elmit wrote:changed my rear shocks for the TEC ones due to a bloody oil leak from the left rear. bit of a pity really as I liked the gas shocks and their adjustability

I did have to remove the end can as you cannot get the bottom bolt out otherwise and my bike just sits down on the front end when on the centrestand so i did not need to raise the rear off the ground but I just did one shock at a time.
good tip for anyone when you remove the rear can, especially on motads, the metal from a soup tin or tin of spuds makes a great gasket for the joint
