    Advisory seals

    I live in North Carolina now. If I was still there, I would definitely go to GP.

    Thanks Todd, that answers my question.

    Advisory seals

    I was just contacted by my dealer (300 miles away) that Piaggio is advising the upgrade to some seals on the V100 Mandello S. It is not a recall but some sort of "advisory". I don't have any leaks. Does anyone know what they are talking about? They won't send the parts as they have to be...

    steering damper?

    We have very unpredictable winds here in North Carolina not like SoCal where I am from. This week the winds blew out of all points of the compass and numerous small craft advisories. Since there are very few twisties here and the 2 lane roads are very narrow, your either on the road or in the...

    V100 Mods thread

    I have done this to so many bikes it is like a broken record but there are Mistral, Agostini and Arrow cans that are in my budget. I'm sure some of you have put them on. Obviously, I am not doing this to increase power but I want a deeper tone. Any suggestions? So far, I have done a few things...

    Bought a V100

    I am not into the bike many miles yet, but it is quite good. This is my 7th Moto Guzzi. I still have two older ones. We all had been waiting for a water-cooled motor and now we have one. The bike reminds me most of my Yamaha FZ1 first generation which was a fantastic bike that I rode for many...

    Well, I made 'em work and they work great!

    Matris fork install

    One thing you will need to do is to contact Todd with the brand of forks that you have and see if the Matris will fit with not a lot of fuss. Incidentally, I went out for a lengthier ride yesterday and forks work great. I found that the difference in the Sachs and the Matris is that the Sachs...

    California 1400 Fluid Changes

    I did a test on how much oil is put in the crankcase. First, I put in just shy of 4 qts with a new Hilo filter than I took a look at the dipstick. When on the side stand it measures about 1/2-3/4" above the max line. Then I had my brother sit on the bike in an upright fashion and checked the...

    Matris fork install

    Well I did it. Replaced the Sachs shocks with the Matris. The install was difficult as the Matris fork was made for the "Kaifa" not the Sachs. One of the problems with servicing the shocks on my 2016 Eldo is that the fork nut/ fork leg will not drop through the triple clamp because of a flange...

    New Purchase - Eldorado vs Cali Touring

    Thanks for the picture of the Eldo with blackwalls as the red and black works well. I don't think it would be as effective on the black Eldo as it is almost "too much black". But the WWW are a pain to keep clean but not as bad as my former bike. My Eldo works great and Garwood that Is a lovely...

    Mileage and Issues

    Yes the tire had 12,500 miles on it as indicated by the removal of the sticky weights which had the shiny polished surface underneath.

    service and red light 2016 Eldo

    Fixed it! You have to start the motor and flip through the left hand menu and go to the "service mode " and punch in the numbers "34534" and don't be lackadaisical about entering the numbers as anticipating the next number is the way to go. Once entered, press the left handlebar switch in and...

    Got the Matris/thanks Todd!

    I am just about to take the front wheel off (replacing tire also) and was looking in both the 2016 Eldo shop manual for the correct amount of oil to put in the forks. It says capacity is 612 cm3 (ml) and 110 ml measured from fully depressed. I have never used more than a liter of oil on any of...

    service and red light 2016 Eldo

    It seems to me to be ridiculous that this can't be changed on the handlebar controls. What if someone is in an out of the way place and has the bike serviced and then down the road it goes into limp mode. This is not a Harley with a bunch of service centers around. I am trying the handlebar...

    service and red light 2016 Eldo

    I took off on the road after replacing the rear tire, oils, pads etc. and about 6 miles down the road the engine started to falter and the red light came on. Since I do all my own servicing how can I reset the "service" and take the bike out of the "limp home mode"? I have the cables and laptop...

    Guzzi technical documentation musings

    This is exactly why I do my own maintenance. Sorry to hear of your predicament, glad to hear you are all right.

    Mileage and Issues

    I am just now changing my rear tire on my 2016 Eldo. Since I purchased it with a little under 7,000 miles I am putting on a new one at 12,500. I frankly don't know if the tire has actually gone a full 12,500 as I bought the bike from a dealership. If I can get 10,000 out of a rear tire I am...

    Source for moly additive for final drive

    That product (Liqui-Moly) is for the final drive gearbox mixed with gear oil. It is too viscous for the splines so does anybody know of a moly heavy grease that is true moly for splines?
