    Front wheel spacer?

    Except someone's STILL going to ask whether it's relative to whether you're facing the bike or sitting on it. "Near side" and "Off side" have no such relationship with the vehicle ..

    Front wheel spacer?

    When I'm describing which side of a car or bike I'm talking about, I do like the British do and use "Near side" and "Off side". Those terms haven't changed since English became a language. Derived from folks driving an ox cart, walking beside the oxen. All of my Brit bike and car manuals use...

    Stelvio , Not Starting after Lay up

    I have a jump pack, but I've never tried to use it to supply all the starting current at once, just as a booster for a low battery. It may not have the capacity for what you're doing. Known good battery is next .... Lannis

    Stelvio 1200NTX help

    That's a frustrating situation. I hope you don't lose faith in the ability of your Stelvio to provide joy and happiness once this bug-in-the-fuel-line or whatever it is is fixed. Some of the world's experts on these things are reading your post, and you sound like you will be able to...

    2014 Stelvio front suspension dive

    ZClark - I'm no technical wiz, but I've had my Stelvio (2009) forks apart twice. Once when I lowered the bike when I installed a Russell Day Long seat, to go along with the Matris rear suspension that was an inch lower than stock. The mod consisted of a shorter spring spacer, and a...

    Great sensations

    Fighting your way through cancer and playing whack-a-mole with multiple bikes is a full time job, good on yer for hanging in there. The Matris shock I put on the Stelvio to replace the sacked-out original is still going strong after 40,000 miles of two-up-and-luggage use .... Lannis

    Stelvio purchase

    My spoked Alpina wheels on my 2009 are still holding air just fine despite lots of two-up loaded riding. I think I've replaces 3 spokes in the 12 years I started riding the bike from new, so unless you just like the look of cast wheels, the spoked ones will probably be just fine. Changed my...

    Michelin Pilot Road 3

    I've had at least one and sometimes two or three of each of the Michelin Pilot Roads, the originals then the 2, 3, 4, 5, and now just installed a 6. They appear to suit my 2009 very well, so I haven't gone lusting after other gods .... Lannis

    2010 Rollerized Stelvio

    My 2009 was updated by the dealer with the latest Guzzi map, and has not had any "snatchiness" in the driveline at any RPM. That was 2017, I think. There may be something newer now but I'm happy with mine. Lannis

    Yet another gear oil thread

    I've never quite understood the "available in your local area" thing, really. Since I'm in the USA (and not Canada, where I understand from this same comment on past oil threads that many oils that we can get here are not available even by mail order in Canada), I can simply punch a couple...

    Yet another gear oil thread

    In my Stelvio, I'm using the oils that the manufacturer recommended. Why? Because I don't believe that Moto Guzzi USA has made any changes to the recommendations, and I don't know of anyone who is qualified to say that "Updated Oil Type X for 2022" is any better a lubricant for my bike than...

    Yet another gear oil thread

    The specs in the shop manual are generated by the people who designed and built the motorcycle. The rest of the specs are generated by people who did NOT design and build the motorcycle, but would like very much to sell you some of their oil. I know which one I'd start from .... !! Lannis

    Rollerization

    There's a whole lot of information on that subject here: https://www.guzzitech.com/forums/threads/valve-clearance-for-roller-tappets.15711/ I don't think there's anything new since then. Good luck! Lannis

    UFI OEM Oil Filter - 80mm 8-Flute Wrench Impossible to Find

    Actually, I'm NOT doing anything yet except directing and sitting on a shop roll-around stool supervising. Not authorized to lift or handle more than 8 pounds, nor lay down on my side, for another month. Our big commercial lawnmower was due for an oil change, so I got out the tools, Fay got...

    UFI OEM Oil Filter - 80mm 8-Flute Wrench Impossible to Find

    Although there are strange dynamics going on with oil filters sometimes. I do all my own oil changes on my cars and bikes, and I follow the directions for tightening, usually expressed in something like 3/4 turn after oiled gasket contact. Or 5-8 ft/lb, which is a good hand-tight. BUT when...

    Sidecar beauty

    I'd do it. I sold my very nice RD400C Yamaha back in 1979 and bought a new 1979 Vespa P200E. It was a really high-quality machine, still the old kick-start two-smoker with a twist grip shifter. Fay got her M license and she rode it into downtown Atlanta to work each day from out in Stone...
