    Fuel injection or carburetor

    Thanks for that guys. I just wanted to be sure. Taking the bike for a test ride at the weekend, so, fingers crossed. I could be the owner of a baby Breva this time next week! I'll let you know how I get on.

    Fuel injection or carburetor

    Maybe this is a stupid question but I can't seem to find a definite answer. I'm thinking of buying a 2003 breva which is for sale locally. Does the 2003 model have fuel injection or carburetor? I've googled the spec and get varying answers. Did a search here but could find nothing. Any breva...

    Breva 1100 with skittish steering

    Everything's back to normal! :D It turned out that the head bearings were knackered after all. Still can't understand it - they were changed 14,000 miles ago with tapered bearings. Totally rusted up. The bike is kept in a shed. I never power wash it and generally don't ride in the rain...

    Breva 1100 with skittish steering

    Well, I've checked the rear wheel for play - everything is fine there. Also took the rear suspension linkages apart. The bearings actually had grease! I must be one of the lucky ones. I packed in a bit extra anyway. But I think I may have found the problem. Or at least the guy who runs a local...

    Breva 1100 with skittish steering

    Thanks for the comments so far guys. I've just had a look at the Dunlop website. They actually recommend Sportmax Roadsmarts for the Breva 1100, which is what I have on my bike - recommended size as well. Their recommended pressure front and back is the same as the Guzzi recommendation. I've...

    Breva 1100 with skittish steering

    Front wheel bearings seem fine. No violent shaking of bars. It's just that the front wheel seems to want to follow any imperfections in the road surface. The whole front of the bike seems be to lighter than before and less stable. It reminds me a bit of the way the bike behaved when I had well...

    Breva 1100 with skittish steering

    Don't know if ''skittish'' is a technical term but it describes the way my front wheel is behaving recently. It's not too bad on good roads - it feels very light and unplanted, but on bad road surfaces it seem to have a mind of it's own. After a 150 mile run yesterday it was particularly bad -...

    Breva 11 - Norge 12 & 1200 Sport Registry and picture thread

    Thanks Chris. I might keep my eye out for one of those. Like you say, it suits the bike. The larger touring screens don't work for me. Cheers, Tom.

    Breva 11 - Norge 12 & 1200 Sport Registry and picture thread

    Hi there crswa. Nice looking screen you have on your Breva - suits the bike really well. What make is it? How well does it work? Still searching for the perfect screen for mine!

    Breva windshield- HELP!

    Thanks for that davem. You are a good 5'' taller than I am so the 755n might not be as effective. Also, I've decided not to spend any more money on new screens. [I'm afraid to add up what I've already spent :cry: :cry: :cry: ] On the other hand, if I came across a cheap second hand one on Ebay...

    Breva windshield- HELP!

    Best of luck with your search for a screen that works. I've ben experimenting with different options since I got my Breva a year ago with little sucess. I've tried the Guzzi screen - useless! Then same with Laminar Lip - worse! Screen tilted back as suggested by Geordie on this and other sites -...

    ECU Communication fault - Breva 1100

    I appreciate that Pete. We can all feel like lashing out from time to time, and you would appear to have more cause than most. Lets hope that huge, sweaty, fascist lady sorts you out. [I can't get that image out of my head.] Cheers, Tom.

    ECU Communication fault - Breva 1100

    Thanks for the help guys. I had cleaned the battery terminals but hadn't thought about the ground connection - will check. Also, I imagine the battery is the original, which would make it over three years old - so probably due a change. And thanks for the links - I had spotted some of them...

    ECU Communication fault - Breva 1100

    Thanks Pete - that was helpfull. And yes, I did a search before I posted my query, but couldn't find anything which could help. Perhaps you could point me in the right direction? Hope your day improves.

    ECU Communication fault - Breva 1100

    I think I may have a problem. About a month ago, when I attempted to start the bike, the dash showed ECU Communication fault and the speedo needle oscillated up and down about half way up the dial. I switched off the ignition and then back on again. The error message had disappeared but the...

    Steering head bearings

    Thanks Pete for all your help. Using your information and measurements from the old bearings, our local bearing supplier has come up with a tapered roller bearing which fits perfectly. [ bearing no. 32907 JR3]. Mind you, I can't really take any credit for any of this. Waterford Honda, a small...

    Steering head bearings

    Urgently need to replace the steering head bearings on my 2008 Breva 1100. I'm sure this has been done by lots of people here. [I've done a search but can find no specific info on bearing type etc.] Did you replace them with Guzzi supplied bearings or did you use something more modern? Any...

    Breva V1100 fork oil change

    Thanks for that John. I'll do the oil change over the next couple of weeks and let you know how I get on. The back suspension is fine. I have it adjusted more or less as you described - I actually read the manual! Tom.

    Breva V1100 fork oil change

    This may be a silly question, but here goes- My 1100 Breva is two years old with 20,000km It handles beautifully on good surfaces, but on rougher surfaces [most of the roads around here],I get quite a bit of juddering through the bars which can be a bit unnerving on corners. My question is -...

    New Goose with screen question

    Many thanks for the advice and messages of welcome. And apologies for starting another screen thread! Was really wondering if any members had any experience of Daes Mototec screens. I know screens are a very individual thing. On my last bike I tried over a dozen different combinations before I...
