I get it. "Special Edition" and not "Special." Parsing semantics. The SE has a canister looking muffler (welded bracket). My new Special has conventional pipes with the brackets bolted to the mufflers. My bad. The stand should be compatible with my stock pipes. Looks like any aftermarket...
Having originally joined in 2011, I confess to not being active, so this is more of a re-introduction.
I really haven't ridden in the last couple of years. In fact I thought my riding days were over, not an easy thing to accept, having ridden since I was fifteen and now 73! Thanks to modern...
That got my attention. I was about to order a centerstand for my newly purchased '23 E5 SE when I came across this post. Do you know if the Guzzi CS can be ordered with the correct stop for the SE? Any part numbers or description of the differences would be appreciated. TIA!
I should add...
FWIW, my canister came out easily on the right side without removing the frame cross member that is secured by the long bolt. Just tip it down and slide it under the right pipe. I would suggest removing the hoses from the Bosch valve and the plastic vent valve first. Then the canister can be...
I'm attempting to remove the fork caps on my '08 Norge. Preload backed off all the way. Forks still on the bike, but upper fork bridge bolts backed off the eliminate possibility of the tube threads binding on the fork cap. The cap turns a few degrees and comes to a stop. I'm afraid to apply...
My wife's good with it. Neither one of us are spring chickens, I'm 62, she's 54. She got on pretty well with our Speed Triple too, but the Griso's much better. She's only 5'3" and the ergos fit her well. We do 200 mile days frequently. We also have an '06 Tiger 955 which is better for both...
Thanks gents.
Kevin, I probably read that in the manual but the lucidity of the convoluted parsology obstructed my ability to mentate the significance of the deeper implications. Or something. I'm hip to the LED thing, just using the generic term there.
Pete, too bad you dint 'ave time to...
Can someone verify if my oil light operation is normal?
Upon switching on the ignition, the oil light winks on as the the tach needle is sweeping to redline and back to zero. This verifies the bulb is OK.
The light then goes out even if there is no oil pressure with the engine off (ignition...
Well, just returned from a 175 mile loop sans charcoal cansiter and with the forks adjusted in their clamps. Altitude varied rom 9000 ft ASL down as low as 6000. Hot day, temperature inversely proportional to altitude, from 80° to 99° F.
First the canister. Note that the one-way valve in the...
Spent an hour today removing the charcoal canister. The instructions at
https://www.guzzitech.com/forum/topic.html?f=163&t=1485&hilit=canister
are good. Fortunately I had all the bolts necessary for the deed in the junkbox (one 8mm and two 6mm). The canister itself isn't particularly...
Great comments, thanks.
Other than sitting on one at Erico, the Denver dealer, no. We still have an '06 Triumph Tiger 955 which not only is similar to the Stelvio, but really hard to beat for fuctionality. It's a bit of a stretch to call the Tiger an adventure bike, but it has to be one of...
Breva Sport owners, how does your seat work out for pillion riders?
My wife and I are considering a 1200 Sport, but she hasn't had a chance to try out the pillion seating position. We'd have to do this deal by phone, so it's taking a chance that everything would be ergonomically correct for...
I had exactly the same symptoms on my 2006 Triumph Tiger. Fortunately I did get an error code that made diagnosis a bit easier. The code was low voltage to the TPS. In the case of my Tiger, the ignition switch had been replaced and apparantly one of the the pins in the Molex style connectors...
I have a family. Four Guzzis and a Triumph. Oh, and a wife who loves to ride and hates kids.
Currently, that is. We're always open to the possibility of a future adoption, possibly another Triumph.
Nice thread. Fun reading other's experiences and first exposure to Guzzis.
At the risk of dating myself, here's mine:
My first three bikes were a Sears (Puch) moped, year unknown, a 1964 Honda S-90 and then a '66 Honda CB160. My best friend also had a 160. The 160s were just large enough to...
Yeah, Pete, I've done 50 from Cali back to Colorado. Officially "America's loneliest highway." 50 Is a great way to get across Colorado.
If you're doing Rocky Mtn NP, a good plan would be to head south after exiting the west side of the park on the famous "Peak to Peak" highway 40. Work your...
