So I'm back on two after my ingition coil got rusted out ...

[DarthRider]

...on the way to Turkey Day dinner at my aunt's house. After that I dumped half a bottle of salad dressing all over her kitchen. I think I washed the bike with too much Motorex bike cleaner in the wrong places. Phil Albutt from the BSA parts distributor in England got me my coil in less than 5 days and made my weekend. Unfortunately my engine check light is there to stay because I don't have the diagnostic tool to get rid of it. I wonder how much it costs. Anyways the MZ is now running like a champion again. I need to get the diagnostic tool to get rid of the engine check light. Anyone know how I can reset it? I have a few chapters of the MZ diagnostical manual and electrical diagrams if someone needs them e-mail me @ dirtbikemike21@hotmail.com.

power commander makes a unit for tuning the 1000s

they may be able to supply you with reset info or tools to do the reset
they do make a module for the 1000s also

tell them if they know a simple way to reset the check engine lamp
all the us owners would love to know it

a ducati or moto guzzi dealer may be able to reset it if it uses a brain
that is used on one ot those models
mike at mph in huston tx has guzzi ???? and may know

Thanks for the information! I'll definitely look into that. I didn't think they would offer Power Commander for MZ1000S!! I'm thinking also about ordering some clear turn signal lenses. I think they look pretty cool.

I have a pair of clear lenses left from the four I ordered. I did not put them on the rear because I had already installed the soft saddlebag mounts and what a deal it was reinstalling the rear turn signals. I was thinking about taking them to a local dealer and see if he could match them up with other stock. They do look cool on the silver 1000S.

I think they look cool on the silver or the black 1000S. I never installed my soft bag mounts. I use a backpack most of the time and haven't taken any super long rides yet. Farthest I ever went in one trip was to St. Lucie from Boca Raton. Only a few hours but never got back problems and it was really enjoyable. Funny you live near a bunch of relatives I hardly ever talk to in Ormond Beach on my father's side. I been there a few times.

The engine check light went off by itself after the new coil was put in ....whew!
