Hi all,
I have a 1978 V50 (not II, III, or Monza) that needs new rubber. What does everyone else use.
I had a set of Michelin Pilot Activ but they are now discontinued and the replacement, the Road Classic, seems to be heard to get.
I know tire/tyre threads cause eye-rolls all round. I'm not...
I have had the Rapid Bike Evo for about 18 months. When I first installed it the Check Engine light seemed to come on at random then go off equally randomly. I can't prove this but I think the bike does that every time the module changes a setting. Once the ECU is happy that the new setting is...
I have the Rabid Bike Evo on my V85 (before Guzzitech had them, sorry, Todd). It truly is plug and play, although it did take me several hours to do so. I completely lost the flat spot between 3000 and 4000 rpm, and the bike feels to pull quite a bit harder. The fuel consumption did not alter...
Mystery solved. You were right. It was the dealer. I remembered last evening that I had asked the dealer to change the tyres prior to my taking delivery. Thus, they had the front wheel out and the calipers off. The guy rang me this morning, full of chagrin, and volunteered that they had...
Yep, there are yellow paint marks. I don't understand, however, if the factory put them together properly, how they managed to loosen and fall out after only 220km, when the bike hadn't turned a wheel prior to my getting it. Interestingly, when I removed the remaining bolts, Loctited them, and...
I would like to get my hands on the guy that assembled mine. March 2020 manufacture. I have had it a week and done 220km. Last night the front brake went soft. Found the left hand caliper flapping in the breeze! Both bolts had come out, one was missing. There was no Loctite on any of the...
Hi Y'all,
I've followed this thread with interest. I have no loyalty to any "major brand", but I do need an exhaust system that will be legal in Australia, or at least able to convince the average walloper that it is. Todd, if I understand correctly, your systems are not homolagated for street...
So it turned out to be a dirty connection at the starter solenoid, on the cable that runs from there to the starter. Maintenance tip: check these connections regularly and smear them with petroleum jelly or similar.
Further to this issue:
My 2012 NTX stalled on me while taking off (it had started from cold perfectly fine and travelled about 300 metres), then when I tried to restart it I just got the ominous click from the relay. The dash lights up and seems to function fine, although all my settings were...
Struck a snag. The oil cooler is in the way as it is not on the side like it is on the Griso, but directly under the steering head. Oh well, may have to use the brain after all.
Has anyone fitted a steering damper to a Stelvio NTX? I have a 2012 model that really needs something to control front end movement in loose gravel, sand, etc.
Hi Auris, and welcome to the dark side. The small block Guzzis are about the easiest engines you will ever work on. Do yourself a huge favour- download the workshop manual for it and get a copy of Guzziology.
My advice here comes from having lived with a V50, a V65TT and now a V65NTX. YMMV.
On...
I had a TT once and currently have a V65 NTX (in pieces). People bag the TT because it's not really an adventure tourer. And it's not, but I put 185,000km on mine, tar and dirt, and enjoyed every minute of it. The main drawbacks are the small tank and diabolical seat- fine around town but a...
I've been reading all the other posts about electrical problems and feeling glad it wasn't me. Well, now it is. I have no headlights (high or low), fog lights, horn, heated grips or brake lights on the 2012 NTX. The parking lights work and all the dash displays seem to be normal. It starts...
...a newer Stelvio!
After doing all that work on the NTX, including Power Commander and Auto Tune, K&N air filter, YSS shock, CalSci screen, etc, etc, the ABS went west. For the THIRD time.
The dealer offered me a good trade on a new NTX so in I went.
Oh man!!! This is the bike the first one...
OK, so I got the good oil from the man himself.
One does not need to use the old nut (which was part of the top bearing race) as the chromed nut with the eagle on it will pretension the bearings adequately. This nut is itself held in place by the top triple clamp once tightened.
I figure if it...
