I’ve been struggling with my Pegaso as well. So I followed Your steps diagnosing the problem. It took me about 4 hours in total and voila, I have a working bike again😊 Thank You for posting 🙏
Peggy!!!! 8-) It's good to see the ole girl out on the streets again. You know I've had problems with the wife's bike so much. I still feel like motorcycle carbs are 25% engineering, 25% luck and 50% witchcraft..... Still have some tuning/cleaning to do on that thing, but I think the new carb base boot fixed the phantom vacuum leak I think I had that was leaning it out. I'm hoping I'll get some free time soon and jump back on that little pain in my side and get it running nice. I can't tell you how bad I want to see my wife back out on her bike again.
Hey Mr Duhfactor, good job on fixing that bike! It would be great if you kept it and did a few more vids with it as there doesn’t seem to be too many Pegaso videos around
Stoked it's going. Funny, when Everide did his review I seriously thought about getting one but when it went off the radar I figured, maybe it's not so good after all. Ended up buying a Suzuki freewind which I don't think made it to the states. That's a good bike but I always loved that Italian styling on the Pegaso. Maybe one day... anyway, love your work Mr Duhfactor :)
Thanks brother!! I actually love the italian styling, and this bike is very good... Im actually thinking about keeping it and riding it in bad weather, and just for fun..... I think EveRide is forging into more dirt bike trail riding, where this bike is more of a light adventure style bike... beats the snot out of a KLR, but its no KTM990 either.....It's kind of odd, so I like it...lol
Hi there! Same peggy, same year, SAME PROBLEM! Also water pump shaft and seals were bad, so water got mixed with the oil, I did replace them yesterday. Now working on carbs, and I’ve found same problem you did, plus, acceleration pump was leaking gasoline as well, so I decided to take it off and leave carbs with no pump at all (saw some videos from those mikuni and they didn’t have that pulse pump) Carbs already cleaned. Going to change spark plug and see what it does. THANK YOU for sharing this info! Peggys are not common at all here in USA! Lucas.
The final result with our Peggy was plugged pikot jets (make sure the hole in the small end of the jets are clear) and the air leak jets in the front intake parts of the carb need to spray through clean too. Good luck!!
Hi man Ok, carbs on already. Bike has improved a lot, but, it turns off while idling at almost 2000 RPM ! Going to check valve clearance now. Do you know what’s the clearance rating on both, exhaust and intake? Thanks!!
@@lucasfernandez1751 Hi Lucas, there are two sources of the info :) The Rotax manual says 0,1 - 0,19 mm for both - intake and exhaust. Except for the adjustable intake one, which should be 0,07-0,1 mm. In the bike manual, you will find 0,1 for intake, 0,15 - for exhaust. The truth is somewhere in the middle, however, I adjust the play following the Rotax manual, as I believe, it is more precise, as Rotax is the engine manufacturer )
Does she still run well? Spring is around the corner and I'm looking to buy a Pegaso soon but with injectors instead of carbs. Same model, just EFI. It will be my second bike after selling my current one and it will be a commuter and light tourer or adventure bike. Do you think the Pegaso will do? It's quirky but I like that, I see it as kind of an underdog. Any other things I should be keeping in mind when browsing? I enjoyed watching every Pegaso video you did.
Thanks Tim! This bike still runs great.... it is a hardy bike with great components from the factory, a great commuter in my opinion..... if I didnt have my KTM 990. Id be totally content with the pegaso.... like you, I enjoy something a little more unique.....
@@vageliskoios1062 I haven't bought one yet but I did go for a test ride on a 2004 Pegaso which was sadly sold to another the day after. The ride was very very smooth and the bike felt really light and nimble. I have an 850 twin tourer but on this Pegaso I felt much more sentation of speed and fun even though I was well within the speed limit. It's just a really enjoyable bike but I can't tell you anything about reliability.
@@dietzness thanks for the answer :) i really think that is a great bike!I will buy her..About reliability a made a 'research' and i found that the engine is bulletproof.Some small problems are aceptable..Like almost all the motorbikes..Just i bought a z1000 for fun and i want an all around fir eveything.I think that she is a good choice..Dont worry if you really want her you will found another one :)
Put NGK ix iridium sparkplugs for these engines BTW I have an 03 BMW f650gs that suddenly decided to not go into first gear what would cause that and fix any ideas??
I had just the same issue,on the inside of the left hand carb(looking towards the front)there’s a round casting that sticks out (there’s also one one the right one)the one on the left should have a rubber cap on it as it goes straight into the carb,the right one is a sealed casting,go to this chaps RU-vid channel he explains it very well,he pointed me in the right direction,RU-vid channel is mrpete222,it sorted my pergaso with the same problem,hope this helps,pete
I had the 2009 version. Turns out the wiring loom was made to short aswell causing the wires to pull tight and cause starting issues. A new wiring loom was made for the new owner problems solved
@@MrDuhfactor yeah a well known problem with them. They bought the package from Yamaha and made their own electronics...... well Italians and electronics never mix. Lol
Hey Mr Duhfactor any updates on the Pegaso? Will you be keeping it? Hope you do as it would be nice for someone to do adventure videos that don’t have KLR DR KTM etc 🙂
I’ve been looking at a 2003 EFI Pegaso, but it will be my 1st bike after a long time out so am a bit nervous it will be too heavy. Anyway I hope you do keep it and will be able to show off what it’s capable of ! One last thing, I know it takes time and effort to make these videos and I just wanted to say I appreciate it.
Let me know if you need any help or mechanical advice I have about 6 or 7 hammers, all kind of sizes, one will work I promise.... Haha btw dial carb it's always a nighmare
