Cruisin' Guzzisti
Greeting all. It seems the Guzzi god has decided to give me an early Christmas headache and I'd be very grateful for some advice.
The story so far....
I dropped my 2007 Norge (well, it fell off its stand) and snapped the clutch lever. No big deal - replaced it. New clutch lever - everything seemed to be working OK. A 35km trip on the next day and the clutch is barely engaging. Let the bike cool down and it's ok until near home and it starts to slip again. So... I assumed the clutch was out of adjustment and I wound back the clutch activation pin.
While in the process, I started the bike on the centre stand to check when the clutch actually engaged. As soon as I engaged the clutch, a noise emanated from the gear box (maybe) that sounded like it was tearing itself apart. Clunk, clunk - not regular but it sounded a bit like the "clunk" you hear when you engage first gear.
Then I noticed the "SERVICE!" error on the dash. I've looked at at the diagnostics and the only thing I can see is dash error 02 - A is "o" and the M flashes between "o" and "x". The service manual says error 02 is "key not present or transponder not working" but the bike starts ok. I cannot removed this error message (I've even tried disconnecting and reconnecting the dash).
So - questions for the wise group are:
1. How do you know if the clutch is correctly adjusted? Trial and error or is there a critical spot where the adjustment pin should be?
2. What is the noise? I've read here on the forum that some sort of gearbox noise is "normal" when the bike is cold and it goes away after the bike has been ridden for a bit but I'm not keen to test this until I know for sure!
3. What does the error message actually mean and how do I clear it?
Many thanks in advance for your wisdom
Cheers
Rob
