    07 Norge 1200 Engine Power Loss at Speed

    Thanks all, I'll give it a shot and see what happens when the line pressurizes. I did lube the connector slightly as kiwi dave suggested before reattaching so that may have made it extra easy to slip on and off. For some reason I was expecting the white collar to have something like a spring...

    07 Norge 1200 Engine Power Loss at Speed

    Another update, and apologies for being so verbose but these postings are also a reference for the future me trying to figure out what/how I did things. I managed to replace both inner spark plugs. It appears the PO had a tough time with this as the R side plug was only in halfway and the...

    I hear you, I'm already dreading shoving the air box back in there, now with the added bonus of hose-management. I will make sure that the TB Gaskets are properly lubed so they hopefully just slide on nicely. Jax is about 5-6 hours drive from me, but better than nothing if I really have...

    Thanks for that Kev, I was scratching my head at an oil outlet near the tire. I'll take some of the extra hose from under the seat and fashion a new one, drop it down, attach and plug it with something. I wonder what the purpose of Pipe B was.. Regarding the stepper, I suppose the PO had the...

    07 Norge 1200 Engine Power Loss at Speed

    So I successfully removed the air box and despite the fact that it was a royal pain in the a$$ to squeeze the assembly out, I'm really glad I did. Quick tip: after loosening the gasket rings and sliding the gaskets off the throttle bodies, I kind of squeezed these gaskets inwards and...

    07 Norge 1200 Engine Power Loss at Speed

    A bypassed stepper would explain why I had to give it a little extra throttle with a totally cold engine to keep it from stalling out. It seems the PO was already "in the know" about quite a few of the popular mods on this bike. It's a long shot, but if you're a forum member and recognize...

    07 Norge 1200 Engine Power Loss at Speed

    Time for an update, on the (still new to me) Norge that just shut off on me twice at highway speeds... It's taken me a while to get a chance to work on the bike since the last post as I've been traveling and just haven't had the time. Last week all ordered parts and tools had finally arrived...

    07 Norge 1200 Engine Power Loss at Speed

    Oh boy did I make a silly mistake. After siphoning the tank I discovered the milky yellow color was actually not the fuel at all, it appears the entire inside of gas tank on the 07 Norge is this yellow color, that is to say yellow plastic! With a nearly full tank it just appeared as if the gas...

    Appreciate the welcome Dave! The amount of helpful information I've already received is really encouraging. I'm still searching for a local shop to do things I can't such as mounting new tires and other more specialized tasks, but I may have found one in the area and will be sure to update...

    Thanks for all of your helpful suggestions. Just so I have everything in one place, it's worth noting that on another thread on this forum I also found at least one user confirmed that this tool works for the inner plugs without having to grind anything (Motion Pro 5/8" thin-walled Spark Plug...

    So before siphoning out my tank I decide to take a peak inside the tank with my flashlight, so what did I find? Is this cloudy mixture of urine and milk what passes for high grade or do I have bigger problems...

    07 Norge 1200 Engine Power Loss at Speed

    Once I've managed to take the tank off does anyone have suggestions of basic maintenance things that I ought to check or replace while I have access to this area? No need for a detailed description, just basic keywords so I can do the research. I'm going off the worst-case assumption that...

    Thanks for the tips, I had planned on cleaning the battery terminals but I had no idea about the rest. I have a feeling I'll be visiting these forums quite often in the future :whew:

    Wish I would have known about the trick with the filler cap when it happened! I fueled up shortly after the first time it happened but I had earplugs in so I wouldn't have noticed a hiss. I'm a bit hesitant to go any distance at this point, but if I don't find any obvious kinks under the tank...

    Thanks for your response Geezer. Going by your profile picture, I've even got the same silver color! Despite the issues I feel a pride of ownership when I look at it in the garage and it's exciting to ride. I think you're absolutely right, a package like this is worth bringing back to into...

    07 Norge 1200 Engine Power Loss at Speed

    Thanks for the suggestions, I'll drain the tank and have a look, hopefully I'll spot something obvious. I don't know how difficult is it to source Guzzi parts or equivalents for things like replacement hoses and connectors. I did notice minor things like rubber protective gaskets around some...

    07 Norge 1200 Engine Power Loss at Speed

    Hi all, I recently bought my first Guzzi, a 07 Norge 1200 with about 32000 miles. It seemed like the perfect long-distance sport touring machine with great looks, shaft drive, hydraulic clutch, Brembos, ABS, luggage, heated grips, adjustable screen and large tank. Just what I was looking for...
