    1996 1100 Sport Transmission Whine

    Andy, I think that the gear whine is normal in any of the gearboxes with the straight cut gears, which I believe the 1100 Sports come with. We ran an 850 LeMans back in the 70's with the factory close ratio, straight cut gears in some endurance races and it would whine in the lower gears...

    Howdy from Texas

    Howdy Steve, I am up in Spur, about 420 miles as the crow flies. Congrats on your Guzzi's, they are really good bikes to ride, and relatively easy to work on! Been riding a Guzzi since 1978, and have several. Lots of info on this site and a lot of good folks, along with a couple of old...

    And so it (frustratingly) begins…

    Sounds like Piaggio hired a Haaavad MBA to "improve" their bottom line!! It is always the same, some MBA star shows up and "re-arranges" business to make all of the investors happy for a couple of years, pushes the fancy facilities and the boutique shops, cuts off all of the grass roots support...

    Geeezzzz! Doesn't sound like much has changed since Berliner had the importer license back in the 70's.

    How far do you ride ?

    Yeah Scott, been there too! The old sayin' about the cobblers kids going barefoot is true! I went to work at a BMW, Guzzi, Laverda, Ducati, Munch dealership back in the 70's and thought that I had died an gone to Heaven, only to find out that when I finally got off work late on Saturday...

    Small block Registry & Picture thread

    Current photo if the pocket rocket in its current state! Modified Lario engine and tranny, 18" wheels, makes it feel like an old V7 Sport, gearing wise. It really gets on down the road!

    rear wheel failure

    Yeah, it white eyed us too, but one bike in particular was owned by a former Harley rider who was also a welder. He fabricated ALL of the bag mounts, trunk mounts, ball hitch mount for a trailer etc. from 1/4" x 1" strap, and 3/8" bolts! That guy weighed about 260, and his wife was not far...

    rear wheel failure

    Howdy All, I have read through this entire thread and it brought to mind some issues I had to deal with back in the 70's with BMW's. Yes, BMW's. The shop I worked at was a dealer for BMW, Moto Guzzi, Munch, Laverda and Ducati. When the BMW R90's came out, they sold like hotcakes. Many...

    Brake caliper shims for V65

    Another easy way to perfectly center your caliper over the center of the disc, is take out the mounting bolts and squeeze your brake lever. If the caliper is not centered, it will move to one side of the disc or the other, either moving over against the mounting lugs, or away and leaving a...

    Yamaha Champions Riding School

    Howdy All, I had the opportunity to ride at the Yamaha Champions Riding School back in March! I would have never sprung for the fees myself, but my older brother had signed up and wound up not being able to go, so I was his fill in, since the fee was not refundable. Long story, but I and...

    1981 CX100 Breather Box-excess oil blow out

    Just curious, do the valve cover breather lines attach to the front of the cover or the back? They were originally set up to come off of the front of the valve cover, and if they come off of the back, the valve covers have been swapped side to side at some point. We had an 850 LeMans endurance...

    Over revved '80 1000 SP... What Is Likely Damaged?

    The Liquid test is the quickest way to tell if you have a valve that is not sealing, you will not know why it is not sealing without removing the valve. You can chuck it in a drill to see if the head wobbles, if it does, you need a new valve. Looking at the pictures of your cylinder heads, it...
