    earth wire

    Hi all, I've been experiencing a no start problem on my B11 where it only occurs on a cold morning if I leave the bike outside. I did the wiring mod as recommended here a few years ago and that fixed the odd non start. This time it only happens when cold and for the first start of the day...

    panniers

    Good folks, I have hard cases on my B11. I was wandering if there was a product I can apply for protection. I use Amor All for my car dash, Glycerine for the exterior rubber on the car, is there a product for hard cases. I keep washing them with car wash detergent/wax, so surely they'll dry...

    How long will the alternator belt survive before it fails?

    Answer: 140,000kms and 14 years. Call me crazy, but this was an ongoing experiment. I do all the usual maintenance but when I originally forgot to replace the belt the first time it was due, I thought "I wander how long....". BTW it's an '06 Breva 1100. Another thing to note is that I did...

    rocker gasket

    Folks, I have an '06 B11, and the left side rocker gasket keeps blowing. The right side is still the original at 150,000kms (not bad me thinks), but the left only lasts 2-3000kms before it starts to leak. It perishes at the bottom end just above where the spark plug is. Always the same...

    seniors moment

    I'm about to do a service on my Breva 100, a task I've done many times. I use Motul Oils, 7100 10w 60 for the engine and 75w 90 for the gearbox and shaft. These are also what my dealer used when the bike was new. I decided to read the manual to see what else I could play with while I'm there...

    valve clearances

    Hi all. I have a 2006 B11 2 valve. I've had it since new. The last time the valves were done were by the dealer that sold me this bike (embarasingly, this was a long time ago). I thought I'd check and adjust the clearances while doing some other maintenance. This is not rocket science and...

    headlight bulbs

    Gents, I've just replaced the headlight on my 06 B11 with a standard 55w H7 bulb. Now that was my spare and I'm going to replace it (I always keep a spare). I have no desire to change to higher wattage or LED. My intention is to replace with the same 55w H7. In my search, I've found so many...

    pannier brace

    I have 2006 B11. The little rubber braces that hold the panniers from swinging need replacing. Any one have a part number or know where to go. They are original Guzzi panniers. thanks Robert

    top box

    I have a Moto Guzzi top box. The clear plastic cover that goes over the emblem on the top of the box has fallen off. The logo is still intact so I've cut out a new cover from some hard clear plastic I have lying around. My question is, what do I attach it with so that it remains waterproof...

    Do a little dance.......

    After much dramas with the dash, only 6 hours to go before I ride onto the canoe that will take us across the Tasman to a week of glorious riding. No I'm not excited, I just keep running to the WC. Robert

    lesson learned

    After the last bath-time, I noticed the drain tube at the filler cap (B11) wasn't draining and a little water got into the fuel tank. No prob, I poured a metho down to absorb and burn it off. I wouldn't have time to fix it for a few days so the metho was necessary. Well it's drain the tank...

    Winton Historics

    I had a great weekend away. Five of us rode from Melbourne to the Winton Raceway without seeing a single highway. It was excellent. This time it was only an over nighter, but the destination was a lolly shop for tinkerers. Once again the Austin Seven car club put on a magnificent show of...

    dashboard interference

    In the Ride Report thread, I wrote about a ride during searing heat. During that ride, my dash LCD began to lose parts of the numbers, show lines through it, go blank etc. Since returning, I've ridden in cooler temps,, had the dash cover off and sprayed WD40 into the connections and tried to...

    filler cap

    Hi all, mine is an 06 B11. I've noticed after washing it the last few times, water remains in the fuel filler cap. The drain hole is obviously blocked. My question is, do I unbolt the filler cap itself or remove the tank and work from underneath? The parts manual doesn't show the drain line...

    bathurst 12 hour

    A Guzzi, a Bonnie, a Monster and a Victory set out on an adventure to watch the Bathurst 12 hour race. It was 6 days of searing heat. The coolest day was race day at around 35C, while we rode in temps between 38C and 44C. Now this is a car race, not motorcycles so don't get too excited even...

    Oxford heated grips

    Hi all, I have oxfords fitted to my B11. Now they're a few years old, they are wearing down and getting sticky on warmish days as low as 20C. Has anyone had any luck covering them? I've thought about tennis racket grip tape (don't know if it's waterproof), or maybe a piece of bicycle inner...

    battery issue

    Tuesday morning last week, the last day of our 7 day adventure, I went to start the B11 and "click". Nothing else. I cleaned the terminals and the earth at the starter motor, but still nothing. We got the bike to an auto mechanic who checked the battery and said it was dead. This after not...

    service time

    I thought I'd share what 70,000km plugs look like on my B11. I have changed them. Here is the alt belt with the same km's. It looks fine, not cracks, but I'm thinking change it. Thoughts? edit: Also, I've had a stripped gearbox drain plug for the last 50,000km (no probs with plumbers...

    flashing fuel light

    Went for a blat yesterday up through the twin Spur's (for those of you in Victoria) . The bike ran like a dream all day. However, when I went to fill up in the morning, instead of the fuel gauge going to 3/4 full and then finally to full after a few km's, it went to empty and the low fuel...

    PI classic and redback

    If the planets line up and the the leader of the opposition doesn't arc up, I plan on going to the Phillip Island Classic on Jan 28 & 29 and then to the Redback Rally in Feb (11 & 12 I think) with some mates. Any one else from here going? Robert
