I have GM200282 and it just got a new engine, under warranty (which runs out in about 3 weeks).
Unfortunately, I did not get the original engine number before it was replaced.
The bike had about 340 miles on it when it ran out of clutch adjustment, so it went to visit my local dealer (I'm...
I have suddenly developed a deep interest in this topic. My V7 II, which I bought used (i.e., no warranty) had the lock nut on the clutch lever loosen up. No big deal, but while trying to re-adjust it, I realized that the adjusting threads are out almost completely. Hopefully cable stretched...
I purchased a $125 Breva tank off of ebay, which should appear any day. This way I will have a tank to practice the sealing. I understand that Caswell's Gas Tank Sealer is a decent product to start with - any other recommendations?
Well, at least I'm not alone. And misery loves company. I almost bought a Multistrada, but decided that I did not want to deal with the Amazing Expanding Ducati tank. Instead I bought the Amazing Expanding Guzzi tank. I'm starting to wish that I had held out for a Tonti-framed model with a steel...
I guess that it's either a new tank or a Bagster cover. I tried to pull the tank to the rear, but it will not go back any farther. Maybe I can slot the hole just a bit with my dremel or a file.
I pulled the tank and re-seated it. The rubber locaters are firmly in the slots on the tank and the rear is bolted down. If I lay a piece of paper on the front of the tank and turn the forks to full lock, the forks will pinch the paper against the tank on both sides. I'm stumped.
I was trying to be careful when I lifted the tank, but the first time for any procedure is always interesting (and sometimes more educational than anticipated). I'll pull the tank off (first time for that also) and take a look.
Thanks.
Last November I purchased a 2006 Breva 1100, my first non-Tonti Guzzi. The past year has been a learning experience, mostly positive but with a few WTF's. I have two questions that fall into the WTF category, but are nothing major.
1. The constrictor in the fuel cap is barely larger than a...
The importer did send me a different bracket set to try. While not a perfect fit, this set was persuaded to bolt on to the Breva. Once I get out the blue Loctite and remount them, I will be good to go.
Back in the day (before I had a child), I used to come to the Junction for the Guzzi...
After years of riding Morinis and Guzzis (plus a few Ducatis), I have learned to expect this level of accuracy from the Italian after market companies, but not the Geman ones.
I am discussing the issues with the US Hepco Becker importer. At lease they should be aware of the problems. However...
I purchased a new-to-me 2006 Breva 1100 last November. Since I already own a pair of MG badged H-B Juniors, I decided that I would buy and install some H-B pannier racks and use the bags. It was finally warm in Chicagoland today, so I spent some quality time in my detached, unheated garage...
Since I managed to tip over my new to me 2006 Breva in my driveway, I decided some engine guards were a good idea. I bought a set of the Hepco Becker guards and I am in the middle of installing them. Before I do something incredibly stupid (a good way to learn, but quite expensive), I though...
2006 Breva ZGULPC00X6M113687 - Alan James - Glen Ellyn, IL - DOP 11/02/14 - My fourth Guzzi, but the first one in 20 years! It is also the first non-Tonti framed bike for me - certainly a different breed of beast.
Thanks. I did get the pin out, but it did not drop out I had to mess with it a bit. So maybe the lever got twisted when the bike went down. I'll give the sandpaper a shot.
Rear Brake Lever Pin, part #AP8121223. It gets installed with a rubber O-ring on each side of the brake lever and, of course, I also managed to lose one. I would guess that the bolt (pin) should slide right into the hole in the brake lever, but it has too large a diameter to fit.
I knocked my Breva over in the driveway (I hate when that happens). No real damage, but I sheared the pivot bolt to the rear brake lever. I ordered a replacement from Harpers. That took a few weeks since it had to come from Italy. In the meantime I grew inpatient so I ordered titanium version...
