    New Norge 8V owner here. Concern about flat tappets!

    New Norge 8V owner here. Concern about flat tappets!

    I think I will too! The Moto Guzzi Le Mans Mk1 was the very first "big bike" I ever rode, back in the late 70s. I always said I'd own a MG one day, after that ride.

    New Norge 8V owner here. Concern about flat tappets!

    Hi All I've been searching but not found the answer yet, to the question I have.....is there a VIN serial number that indicates when they switched to roller tappets from the flats, on the Norge 8v?
