    Crazy electrical design.

    Norge GT8v belonging to a friend. Suddenly realised there was no charge going into the battery. On checking the 20 Amp fuse supplying the lights had blown, and continued to blow when replaced. The fault was traced to the spring catch on one of the dip bulbs having come loose and was shorting out...

    Error code 45

    This is described as start relay ground, but what does this really mean? Error is on, but everything works as it should.

    Corsa Italiana, UK

    It seems that Corsa Italiana, one of the main established Guzzi dealers in the UK has gone into liquidation. Very bad news for all concerned.

    B******y polycarbonate lenses - Norge

    Ran the bike for a few minutes while doing the TB balance etc. Had a dust sheet over the screen, which may have also covered the headlight. Now the headlight is suffering from cataracts.

    New V7 Racer with FI problem

    A guy in the UK has just bought a new V7 Racer from a very reputable dealer. He is having a problem that the bike revs up when started then stalls, no input from the owner. You can see and hear it on this Utube clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atwqPojoBz8&feature=youtu.be Bike has been...

    Is there something we have not been told?

    Just had this posted on our UK forum. Hi everyone, I became a Guzzi owner today with the purchase of a 1200 8v Griso SE. Lovely machine. I had one question though that I can't find any details about at all. After I got back from my 2 hour ride home from the dealer, I noticed that there was...

    Rear suspension wishbone bolt

    I decided to strip down the suspension linkages on the Norge to grease the needle roller bearings. The good news was that they were not dry. The really bad news is that I cannot remove the front wishbone bolt. It turns freely, but won't come out. I can only assume it's rusted into the needle...

    Extra transmission clonk

    Not my Norge, but a fellow club member's here in UK. It's an 06 model, but had a replacement CARC fitted last August due to the tab washer on the input shaft being mis-fitted. Riding a couple of weeks ago, a sudden extra loud clonk was heard when pulling away. Owner also thought there was a...

    Limp home mode

    I have recently hear of a case where the owner of a new Guzzi (sorry don't know the model) claims his bike went into a limp home mode because one of the indicator bulbs failed. Anyone ever heard of this? Trouble is, he is using this story to work up opposition to the proposed new European...

    Plastic fuel filters in tank.

    Anyone know when Guzzi stopped using those half plastic fuel filters in the tank? About 2008 perhaps? Those part plastic ones were less than reliable, and I wanted to get an idea of they started fitting the all metal ones. There is more to this story yet, but I need the above information before...

    That fuel pipe in the tank

    The fuel pipe between the pump and filter has been known to come off. Had to rescue a mate with this problem a couple of weeks ago in France. Subsequently a couple of others said they had also experienced this. Point being, one wrote to Guzzi UK about it, and they said they had never heard of...

    Starter fuse B blowing

    There have been several reports of the 15 Amp fuse supplying the starter solenoid blowing, resulting in nothing happening when the start button is pressed. Happened to me yesterday on the Norge, but at least I was aware of the issue and fitted a new fuse straight away. So I did a couple of...

    Side stand and gear change

    There was a road test of the stelvio NTX published in the UK very recently. I don't know if the writer was a complete cretin, but he complained of what he called a serious problem. Several times when riding, when trying to change down to a lower gear he managed to push the side stand down...

    What might cause poor fuel consumption, Norge

    When I got my Norge last August, I was getting a readout of 46mpg (US) average. Then it went in for a service. Since I have almost never got it over 36mpg average. Last weekend I went to the Pioneer run in Brighton, and came back on the motorway, steady 70mph, no hard accelleration etc, and a...
