    1200 Sport, front wheel bearings

    Bent the front wheel on my 1200 Sport. I have the wheel in at the repair shop but they need to knock out the bearings in order to straighten the wheel. Does anyone have a size guide or aftermarket part number for the bearings and seals so that I can order them from some place other than the...

    U-Joint replacement on CARC bikes

    Is it possible to replace the u-joints on these? I looked through the parts breakdown and see the joint is not sold separately from the driveshaft. I've replaced u-joints in cars, if the joint is available are there any special tricks that might make me not want to tackle this myself?

    1200 Sport, Leaking shock

    I found this puddle under my 1200 Sport this morning: There's some drips off the bottom of the shock linkage, and since nothing else on the bike uses this color fluid I've decided it's the shock that's leaking since I don't know what color fluid is in there. I've been told that it may be the...

    Slip on muffler, sealant needed?

    I've had an aftermarket muffler on my 1200 Sport for a couple of years now. The kit came with two parts, muffler and connecting pipe. The connecting pipe clamps to the stock Y-pipe but does not use any sort of gasket, it is just a friction fit. On the muffler side the connecting pipe just...

    Another failed BNS12 dash

    Heading up to Springerville on Friday I met with some very hot weather. As the thermometer topped 109 degrees I noticed that the LCD portion of my dash blanked out. I pulled over and cycled the key and found the LCD came right back on, Cool! 10 minutes later and the dash craps out again. I...

    Vibration in 1200 Sport

    I have a cyclical vibration that I get at lower speeds on my 1200 Sport. I can feel a rumble in the pegs that sort of cycles on and off in a consistent manner. It doesn't seem to matter what gear I'm in. By lower speeds I'm talking about around 40 and below; once I get above that I don't...

    Mexico pics

    Since we're in the middle of buying a house in Banamichi, Sonora Mexico we've been spending quite a bit of time down there. A few weeks ago the fields really started to green up and the mustard was flowering nicely. This past weekend we went down to help out some friends who were having a...

    Changing spring on 1200 Sport shock

    I've got a spring on order and have the shock out and laying on my workbench. I've replaced springs on a couple of different shocks in the past and they were pretty straightforward, this shock appears to have a lower collar with a slot in it that the shock shaft would go through. So how do you...

    5th Annual Devil's Highway Run

    US Route 666 was first commissioned in 1926 with a northern terminus in Cortez, CO. 1965 marked the end of Rt. 66 and Route 666 was orphaned. An abundance of accidents blamed on "the Devil" due to the 666 designated helped result in the renaming of the road as US191. On May 3, 2003 Rt. 666...

    Springtime Adventure (640)

    The plan started to come together at the end of the 2011 Roosevelt Dam ride as I realized that not only am I horrible at riding on dirt but the Guzzi just exacerbates that fact so if I'm going to insist on riding on dirt roads then I need something a little more suitable. The easy answer would...

    Speed sensor diagnostics, 1200 Sport

    So I posted in another thread that I had the ECU upgraded by Todd and now my speedometer is wonky; the speed does not go over 10 mph and on a 70 mile trip my odometer reads 8 miles. So Todd said he'd reflash the ECU for me but before I took that out I wanted to give the speedo sensor a bit of a...

    Remapped ECU is awesome, but...

    So I just had Todd remap the ECU of my 1200 Sport as well as going for the airbox lid that he sells. The improvement is immense to say the least and I didn't have any real issues with how the bike was running before. One thing that's going on now however that I need some assistance with, the...

    1200 Sport Headlight Protector?

    Does anyone have a suggestion for a headlight protector for the Breva/1200 Sport? I took a pretty good sized rock in the headlight recently and there's a nice chip in the lens;if there's a way to prevent this from happening again and creating any further damage I'd be very interested.

    Tucson Vintage/Classic Motorcycle show, April 25

    Just a heads up if anyone's going to be in the area this weekend and might be interested in checking this out. I have a buddy who's involved in the planning of this shindig, they're hoping for a good turnout and making it an annual thing. Hope to see some folks out there

    Exiting the "Hassle Free Zone", riding to Banámichi

    I don't even know how the idea came up but my wife suggested that since we're 5 miles from Mexico that we should take a ride South a ways to see what it's all about. Since we had a 3-day weekend for MLK day I figured the time was right and we should just go for it. Banámichi is a small town on...

    Installing Norge Panniers on the 1200 Sport (with pics)

    Here's the bike as it sits before we start. This is for one side but it goes without saying that the steps are the same for the other side. The first step is to remove the 2 bungee hooks. Remove the bolt and the spacer from the bungee hooks, I needed to use a screwdriver to push the...

    1200 Sport, Exhaust lowering bracket?

    So I'm looking at the Norge panniers for my 1200 Sport. I'm guessing that I'll need to put the lowering bracket in for the exhaust. Where do I find this part? My local dealer had no idea what I was talking about. I tried a search but people just talk about it like it's a fact of life.

    Lunch at the Velvet Elvis

    To celebrate a new job, beautiful weather and a good life in general a few of us decided to go out for a ride this morning. When I initially asked Jesse where he wanted to go he came up with the Bisbee Breakfast Club, fine except that it's only 5 minutes from my house and doesn't give me that...
