Re: Kwackys MV Agusta F3 800 ongoing review
I looked into wrapping the D600 when i rebuilt it, it's not the cheaper option to painting, just a tank was going to be AU$350-400. The prep is just the same as painting, any imperfections will show through.
For the price Kwacky has been quoted for a paint repair which will keep the bike original, that would be my choice as well. The exes brother is a talented automotive spray painter and I've seen him blend in a paint repair on a car bonnet and you could't pick it at all.

Re: Kwackys MV Agusta F3 800 ongoing review
Shame to hear your tank is bubbling up. I wonder what is making that happen. Whatever you decide as long as you are happy with the result that is all that matters in my opinion

Re: Kwackys MV Agusta F3 800 ongoing review
Just thinking what are you doing to stop it happening again after the repair?

Re: Kwackys MV Agusta F3 800 ongoing review
It was probably poor prep to start with. But anything causing paint bubbling would cause wrap to bubble as well.Blade wrote:Just thinking what are you doing to stop it happening again after the repair?

Re: Kwackys MV Agusta F3 800 ongoing review
One step at a time.
First off see if this guy can do a repair. If so I'll see how long it lasts.
Long term I need to remove the tank and have the interior sealed.

Re: Kwackys MV Agusta F3 800 ongoing review
Is the first step,
not best to fix the cause?
My logic was no point repairing a defect until you have eliminated the cause, otherwise you will be paying for a second repair.
Just trying to save you coin

Wrap was just a suggestion for the final finish as a different option to paint, its not suggested as a fix for bubbling paint.kiwikrasher wrote:It was probably poor prep to start with.

I think the cause is ethanol in a plastic tank so wrapping or painting will most likely bubble again until the the tank is sealed first.

Seems the consensus on here is that its caused by poor prep when the tank was painted. Seems a common issue with MVs on that era.

Re: Kwackys MV Agusta F3 800 ongoing review
Heating warning on the dash when wet got stuck at lights.
Later on I got a "malfunction" warning on the dash. Pulled over again and got an exhaust valve warning. Turns out it's not uncommon. Either the servo needs lubing, a cable needs adjusting or a cable needs replacing.
It's due a service so I'll get it in.

Other option is ditch the bulky servo motor and associated cables all together, which is what I did on my zx10r when I fitted the arrow end can.Kwacky wrote:Heating warning on the dash when wet got stuck at lights.

To remove the "malfunction " warning fit this

The heal Tec doesn't work on the MV.
Didn't you have a load of problems with your zx10r?

They list one and they have a guarantee and decent store to buy from if you fancied trying.
Maybe blag a free one as you offer to do a trail for him

Several people on the MV forum have tried the heal Tech and the results are hit and miss
