Yes, that's like mine, and it shows the filter attached with a zip tie like John said. Now it all makes sense. Unfortunately I can also see that it will be much harder to get everything in and out with it all bundled together.
Thanks for posting the picture Scott. As John says, mine is somewhat different from that, with the pump going the opposite direction.
John, I did replace the brownish clear hose with a blue plastic hose. Everywhere I asked for a submersible hose I got a blank stare, so I grabbed a piece of this...
Here's my question. When I opened up my tank, the filter was floating free, anchored only by the hoses that connected to either end. However, I noticed that the plastic bracket that holds the fuel pump in place also has some tabs that the original filter nestles into, but it doesn't snap into...
Last week I found myself stranded (not far from home luckily) when my Stone conked out on me. Some hunting around on Guzzi Tech and other sites pointed to a disconnected fuel hose inside the tank. The threads dealing with that issue don't have a lot of pictures, so when I opened up my tank I...
Indeed, WTF do I know? It's pretty hard for a newbie researching how to do something to know what sources are reliable. So I'll try what you recommend and see how it goes. Thanks for replying quickly.
I followed BradtheBikeBoy's instructions which, if I read correctly, say to adjust the idle balance with the RH throttle stop screw. You're saying that's not right?
I've had a chance to go for a ride now, and the dead spot seems to be gone. Idle is noticeably smoother too, so I think I'll leave...
Well, riding season is here again, so I finally got the Stone hooked up to GuzziDiag and a manometer of my own making. I'm grateful to those here and on other forums for explaining which end is up. Anyway, the throttle bodies were way out of balance both at idle and at higher rpms, so I started...
Wow Norm, you've really been studying up on this. Sounds like the Mayo can show up with any oil. I only saw it once, coming out of the air box hose, so I guess it's nothing to be too worried about. Is there a sign there's Mayo in the rocker boxes, or do you have to remove them to see?
Yep...
Thanks Mr. R, that how-to article is perfect. I have ECU connector cables on order, so when they arrive I'll give it a go. Did you use a home-made manometer or store-bought gauges for balancing?
I've had my '04 Stone for about 3 months now. The engine starts and runs flawlessly, except for one niggly thing. When I'm riding along at a steady 50 km/h (30 mph) in 2nd gear, I often feel the bike hesitate and then surge forward. The engine doesn't miss or backfire or anything, so you don't...
Tire performance does diminish around the freezing point, but not enough to leave the bike at home IMO. You just have to adjust your riding style, just as you do on wet or sandy roads: gentle cornering and acceleration, allow larger following distances, etc. I do draw the line at ice and snow...
I went with 10W40 rather than the 20W50 recommended in the owners manual because a) it's much easier to find, and b) this chart in the Guzzi workshop manual suggests it's better suited to my temperature range.
I've done several starts at around freezing the last couple of weeks and it seems to...
I've had my '04 Stone for about 3 months now, and I've observed a couple of things that I'd like opinions on. First, my engine seems to like the oil level to be just above the lower line on the dipstick. If I add any oil above that level, it just seems to come out the blow-by hose and I end up...

2004 Stone, charcoal gray with tan dorsal stripe on the tank (what's that color called in the marketing lingo?). I'm in Edmonton, Alberta. I believe I'm about the 3rd owner; bought it in the Calgary area 24/07/2016.
