    Who came off of an FJR??

    After doing 15,000 on my 05 Breva and loving every minute of it I've just swapped it for an 04 FJR and I love it, ooooh the power, and the wife's much more confortable on the back. She has been fine doing 350 mile days accross Europe a couple of weeks ago, where she struggled to do more than 200...

    Dry Clutch Replacement on Norge

    I've recently striped my 05 Breva due to an oil leak (turned out to be the welch plug). I replaced the clutch at the same time. The old clutch was just under 1/2 worn after 35,000 miles. As far as i'm aware the engine can not be taken out on its own, however there is a way of taking the gearbox...

    oil leak

    I got the engine and gearbox back from the dealers with a new crank seal, flange gasket and gearbox input shaft seal fitted. I've left the old welch plug in place as pete roper recomended and covered it with "JB Weld", an epoxy filler. If it works or not its not realy a problem as the leak was...

    oil leak

    I've done as John Zibell suggested and taken the engine and gearbox to my dealers to replace the gasket and seals. As a precaution while the bikes striped I've had the rear crank seal, flange gasket, gearbox input seal and a new clutch fitted. (As the old one is over half worn) The problem now...

    Haynes Manual

    I contacted Haynes to see if they have any plans to do a Guzzi Breva, Norge, Griso manuals and here's there replay below. I've allways found there manuals invaluable in the past so if enough of us ask them they might get a move on.

    oil leak

    I've just checked the engine as it’s been standing overnight and the oil is defiantly coming from the camshaft cap, how is this removed and what’s the best way to reseal it. I would be grateful for any advice, as I can't find any info in the manuals. Maybe it’s time to take the engine to a...

    oil leak

    Re: Re:oil leak I've removed the engine today and taken the gearbox off, there's a lot of dirty oil residue around the bottom third of the housing behind the flywheel. Thers also clean oil residue around the flange but the seal in the middle is totally dry. So I suspect its the flange gasket...

    oil leak

    Thanks for the advice and I will certainly ask if I get stuck. I've downloaded the manual from this site and looked through it. All seems pretty straight forward, one query I have initially is do I use thread lock on the flywheel bolts? It’s not a case of “fucking up” but more of getting stuck...

    oil leak

    Workshop? Luxury, I’ve got to do the job in the front yard. Luckily I’ve got a good shed round the back to store the bits as I go, but I can’t get the whole bike around the back. I like the wheelbarrow idea, I was trying to work out how to suspend the bike as the engine and gearbox drops out...

    oil leak

    My 2005 Breva 1100 has just started to leak as described by Nel, from the front of the bell housing. It's defiantly engine oil. Has anyone else had this problem and has anybody done the job. The cost of a dealer repair is just too much so I'm going to have a go myself. Bronco.

The brake lines are "Hel" from http://www.brake-lines.co.uk/ I went for the Full Length Race Layout at £55, you can order the standard lay out for £84. When ordering I wrote in the special instruction box "supply...

    Fuel Leak

    Alex, The only explenation I can think of is; If the overflow pipe is traped and you over fill the tank, rather than the petrol running out it stays in the pipe to leak out slowly later. Also once you get off the bike and park it,it may reduce the pressure off the pipe as your not sitting on...

    Fuel Leak

    Sorry Alex, no secrets, all I did was fiddle around a bit. I can only presume the pipe was trapped, there's not a lot of room under there and as you lower the tank you can't see the pipe's final resting place. Bronco-Breva

    Saddlebags (panniers) leaking

    I took your advice and didn't wash the bike, and guess what, we had no rain for 10 days. It was blue skies and 30 to 35 degrees every day. After the Church of Bones we headed back through Austria and rode the Grossglockner pass both ways. 2700 miles in total, the Guzzi was faultless and averaged...

    confusion over fork preload adjustment

    I've never touched the suspension settings on my Breva in the 2 years I've had it, other than the preload on the rear shock as I ride 2 up regulary. I've found the rear shock has 60 clicks total and I have it set at 45 from soft. Having read the above thread I checked the rear rebound and found...
