Hi Peter, I have a MG 1400 Cali and have had some dramas with batteries and my key fob no longer engages with the immobiliser. I have started the bike using the loop provided when new, ( this bypasses the immobiliser) however I would prefer to have the key fobs operating as they are designed. My keys start the bike when the bypass loop is in place, but hoping you may have a hint as to how to program the fobs, I am guessing this is different to the keys. Normally I would have to press the key fob for about a second prior to starting the bike, but at this stage I can’t start the bike without the bypass loop. Any ideas?

@@peterroper617 thanks for your reply Peter, yes I have changed the batteries and replaced the fuse on the immobiliser with no success. I just can’t work out why this has failed and if it has something to do with the battery problem. I have a brand new battery now,, but still stumped as to why it no longer functions.

Hi Peter, great explanation of the MG throttle bodies. I have a problem with my 2012 Stelvio NTX missing and popping at idle, gets worse when warms up. I found my airbox cracked and letting dirt in, I have cleaned the throttle bodies and found quite a bit of wear in the bores so that the plates do not close completely, it looks like in your video the plates were completely closed. I am thinking this is allowing too much air through at idle and the stepper is adding more. Have you had a situation like this that you were able to remedy by adjusting the throttle plate adjusting screws then doing the synch and tps reset? thanks from west coast Canada
@peterroper6175 ай бұрын
Do NOT touch the plate adjusting screws. Doing so will mean that the interpretation of the entire map will be bolloxed. The only real fix, after fixing the airbox of course and making sure the drains are intact and plugged, is new throttlebodies. If you run an open loop map though you may be able to get it to idle almost reasonably by upping the CO trim to an extreme level. You will pay a price though in engine wear and fuel economy. Is your Stelvio a roller tappet model or has it been rollerised? If it's still running flat tappets the TB's are pretty unimportant to worry about until the tappets are fixed.

@peterroper61711 ай бұрын
If you're asking do you have to unhook the top sprocket to remove the cambox from the head the answer is yes. If you'd like to see how that's done I've got another video there where I remove the left hand cambox from a Griso. The procedure is identical to the Cali 14 as, apart from the extra spark plug, the engines are almost identical.

I bought the same bike and is asking for the code won’t start . I don’t have access to the code what can I do
@peterroper617 Жыл бұрын
Well, sadly, you're a bit stuck. Without the code you can't access the 'Code Recovery' function which, if you have two keys, you can then use to re-set the user code. To the best of my knowledge you currently have two options. Either send the Dash to Carmo in Europe and they can clear the code and when you get the dash back you can program it with your own code. OR, you can buy a new dashboard. Neither option is cheap. If you only have one factory key the first thing I would advise you do, whichever way you choose to go, is get another factory key cut and when you have a working dashboard train the dash to recognise it using the 'Change the Key' function. Also, before you despair try using the last five numerals of the VIN number as this was often used by shops as the code. Also the Service Code was used by some people. If your bike is a Griso the service code is 12425. After that? Try simple combinations. 12345, 54321, 11111. If none of those easy guesses work you're back to 'Plan A'

what if I have one key that works, a user code that I entered/ made up, and 2 newly cut moto guzzi keys that I am trying to add to the dash? Is this function through the diagnosis section?
@peterroper617 Жыл бұрын
If you know your user code go to 'Change the key'. It will ask you to enter the code after which it will say 'Insert second key'. Remove the first key and insert the second, new, key and turn the ignition back on. After a second or so it will say something like 'Key saved, insert third key'. You repeat the removal and insertion with the third key. I think you can store up to four keys in the dash, it might be six. Not sure. When you have memorised your last key just remove it and let the dashboard count down to zero and go dead. Leave it for twenty seconds and then when you use any of the keys from then on they should all work.

Hi🙂 ...and if I haven't the code and I have one original key only..?
@peterroper617 Жыл бұрын
If you only have one key and don't know the code you're basically up shit creek. To use the 'Code Recovery' feature you need two, working, factory keys. There is a company called Carmo in Europe who can read the current user code if you send them the dash and I believe clear it. It isn't a cheap service but it is doable. Once you have a known code, or it has been reset to the default of five zeroes you can get another FACTORY key, (It must be a factory Zadi key, not an aftermarket replacement.) and then train it to the dashboard using the 'Change the key' function. This will then give you two working factory keys. My own 'Insurance' mechanism for my bikes is to have two working 'Factory' keys which I generally keep stored safely at home and I use a cheaper 'Cloned' replacement for my everyday key. That way if I loose my key or it is stolen I can simply get another one cloned while keeping the security of having two 'Factory' keys so if anything happens to me the next owner will be able to reset the user code using the 'Code Recovery' function even if they don't know my user code.

Hello . I have a problem since returning from Estonia. I thought they were old style camshafts. I was in the garage on Saturday and found time to look at the bike. It is good because the timing gear is of a new type, and the entire keyboard seems to be in very good condition. I ruled out a problem with the roller and pushers. Unfortunately, I don't know what else could be the problem. It makes noise like a timing chain, but these metallic, knocking I don't know what generates them.

Probably the gasket between the sump spacer and the block has blown out around the delivery gallery to the front main bearing. Drop the sump, remove the oil pick ups and then remove the sump spacer. The damage is usually obvious. The blown gasket doesn't produce any external leaking as the oil simply bleeds back into the sump. When you replace the gasket do not use the stock factory gasket as these are the source of the problem as they are lousy quality and made of a very thin frangible material. You can use a thicker aftermarket gasket with much greater compressibility which allows better clamping and won't blow out. If you are getting a knocking noise along with the camchain rattle, (The chain rattle is caused by the tensioner plungers not getting sufficient oil due to the blown gasket.) it would be wise to drop off the big end caps and inspect the big end bearings while the sump and spacer are off. It is most likely that you will find the shells damaged and in need of replacement. Do it now while the sump is off otherwise you'll be going back in in a few months time.

Thank you very much for your willingness to help. The problem for me is also winter, I have a cold garage;) and I'm waiting for spring. I live in Wrocław and my beloved motorcycle has a garage at my parents' place 100 km away. No service wanted to help, not even the Warsaw Ducati dealer. I have always serviced all the motorcycles I have had myself because it is far from a service station. Yamaha Super Tenere 750, Fazer fzs 1000, crf 250l, cz 350 are simple motorcycles. But to Stelvio a bit of Italian heart. I also recorded a video of firing on a cold and warm engine. Only I have no way to send you a link to KZbin, unless priv to the e-mail address.

Can't really help much with that. Since I'm no longer an *Official* service agent I don't have access to any new model info really. We've had a couple of V85's through the shop but since my PADS is no longer current I can't re-set the service icon so most people stick with the dealership network. That's one reason why it's a very good idea to think carefully about where you buy and not just go for the lowest price offered or available.

If that drill mark is there it's a 'B' kit bike. If the paint is unsullied then it is a 'C' kit bike and requires the head pulling to insert shims under the inlet valve spring seats.
