    Motoplat Ignition Boxes

    I wonder if any of you can help me out with a bit of a problems. I am trying to get my recently rebuilt V75 4-valve (1986) working. I have had a mystery problem where the engine wont rev properly and misfires when pulling away. I initially thought that it was an air leak or a carb problem but I...

    V75 4 Valve - Misfire

    Gents I am just putting the finishing touches to a V75 4 Valve Tourer that i am building for my wife to tour round France this summer. It is fully restored and has a Spada fairing which looks smart. The French Blue paintwork takes a bit of getting used to but it was her decision, I had a few...

    Goodbye Chaps

    It was with extreme regret that I sold my Stelvio this week. Unfortunately my employment situation means that I cannot justify having a bike of this value not being used. It is a real shame I had just got the feeling that I had got all the little niggles sorted out. It's been a pleasure and...

    Advice Needed V75 4 Valve Forks

    I am well on with my restoration of my V75 4 Valve (1986) but have come across a bit of a problem. The bike has 38mm air assisted forks as standard with Sebac dampers. One of the dampers has blown and I cant source a replacement. I am aware that the V75SP and the Targa also had 38mm dampers but...

    V75 Four Valve

    Gents I am just renovating a 4 valve V75 (1986 vintage) to act as my wife's touring steed. The Koni Dial a Rides that are fitted look too long as the centre stand only just reaches the floor and doesn't lift the rear wheel at all. Does anyone know what the 'eye to eye' measurement should be...

    Hepco Crash-bars

    Just to report that I fitted the new improved (gussetted) Hepco and Becker Crash Bars to my Stelvio. Eventually found that the annoying rev related buzz/rattle was from a clean shear on the right hand unit. The break was rusty so it wasn't new. Not sure these items are up to it. It is probably...

    Stelvio REGISTRY & Pics thread -- ADD YOUR BIKE

    Re: Stelvio out and about pics here... The boys and myself had a quick jaunt over to Normandy last weekend. 31 Degree C and not a cloud in the sky.

    Well oil be blowed!

    Robinsons and Millenium are part of the KJM group that originated in Wrightington between Wigan and Chorley. A bunch of secondhand car dealers if you ask me! I have just picked up my Stelvio from Shorrocks in Preston after the cams and followers were replaced due to wearing out after 6600...

    Why so many for sale?

    Even though my Stelvio is still ensconsed in the dealers having its camshafts and followers replaced I still intend to keep it. I find the riding position, power delivery and handling of this kind of bike ideal for the types of roads I like to ride i.e. scratty single track B-roads especially in...

    Expert Required Please

    Well - it looks like the issue of the worn cams and followers is going to be resolved without much of a fight. After a lot of phonecalls and e-mails, Guzzi have accepted the warranty claim and wll carry out the works free of charge. I just need to make sure that the full engine flush is carried...

    Expert Required Please

    Pete The bike is an early 09 model and has done 6600 miles and supposedly had the recall done before it ever ran. However I did not trust the dealer who sold it me and I would not be surprised if he claimed the money but didn't do the work. The plug caps that were supposed to be changed at the...

    Expert Required Please

    Dear Stelvoids Piaggio UK phoned me today asking for photos of the wear found by my local dealer in the top end of my 6600 mile Stelvio (As referenced in my previous post "Rattle Rattle"). The dealer had sent the photos before but Piaggio had lost them . So i asked the dealer to send them to...

    Rattle Rattle

    Re: Rattle Rattle - UPDATE Good Afternoon Stelviophants The bike went into Shorrocks in Preston today for exploratory works on the mysterious knocking/rattling noise. Surprise surprise - they have traced the problems to worn cams and followers. So it now looks like All Bikes (the original...

    Rattle Rattle

    The bike is going into the local dealer tomorrow for exploratory works on the noisy top end. In the meantime I have posted a video on You Tube. Anyone got any comments? The rattle isn't as pronounced on the recording but I think you will be able to hear the knock...

    Rattle Rattle

    I rode the bike to work this morning and did a little experiment before I switched it off. I left it ticking over and started to walk away from the bike. As I have refitted the standard silencer (dont want any warranty killing issues) the exhaust note is now quite quiet. After getting about 40...

    Rattle Rattle

    Pete Once again you may have come to the rescue. I have measured the end float on the rocker shafts and three are 12 thou and the right hand side inlet is 11 thou. What is considered excessive? The noise that the rockers make when you move then up and down is really similar to the noise I can...

    Heated Grips

    On a trip through Cumbria and the Scottish Borders yesterday the temperature dipped to about 9 degrees C. I was wearing my summer gloves with silk liners and behind KTM handguards. With the factory Guzzi heated grips turned up to 3 bars I could hardly feel them at all and I was frozen from the...

    Rattle Rattle

    Yes - definitely a metallic rattle/knock. It sounds like one of the tappets is running at a gap of about 1/4"!! But I have checked many times and it is not that!!

    Rattle Rattle

    Good Evening Fellow Stelviomites; The rattle emanating from the left hand cylinder head has now got to a volume where I cannot ignore it as advised by many on the forum. I checked the tappets and 'got on and rode' about 5,000 miles ago. Since then I have noticed that the noise only develops...

    Ideas for rear mudguard

    I have two mates with BMW GS's and one with a Tiger 955 who have used a cleverly cut piece of UPVC plastic guttering attached to the bottom of the numberplate to stop the spray going all over the back of the bike. I think I will give it a go on my Stelvio and will post pictures when complete...
