    sport 12 brake questions

    Thanks, all done in 20 mins including putting tools away. Once I started it really was very easy, the clip wasn't completely circular just a normal circlip. The outer pad was worn more than the inner as you said, that was what prompted the investigation. After 8700 miles the outer looked half...

    sport 12 brake questions

    How thick is new brake pad material on the rear pads? mine look low but I`d like to know how low. Does the small circular clip that fits over the end of the pin that locates the pads in the rear caliper just pull off and then can be reused? assuming I don`t wreck it whilst removing it. I`ve...

    noise originating from strut above Cardo Shaft

    The part you refer to is a silentbloc bush. Its a composite metal rubber bush designed to cushion shock loads. Later stelvio models had them fitted as standard as an upgrade to the standard metal bush you have now. They have to be pressed in to the torque arm. Get them from a guzzi part...

    CARC transmission clonk update

    I`ve been trying to understand why my 1200 sport makes such a godawful clonk noise when I release the clutch lever at walking pace. I complained about this to the tech director of Piaggio here in uk . I met him and he tested the bike himself concluding that it was noisy and could be reduced by...

    Courtesy Wave

    I`ve just returned from a recent trip to the Austrian Alps, the many european riders we came across wave if coming toward you and stick a leg out if passing you in the same direction. Looks like a kick but its a wave with the foot

    Exhaust Lowering bracket dimensions?

    I`ve just got some secondhand Guzzi panniers and a Staintune silencer. I want to fit the panniers but need to lower the exhaust. I know Guzzi sell a lowering bracket but I`d rather make my own, question is, how long does the bracket need to be? A dimension between hole centres would be great. I...

    How best to run in my new 4v 1200 sport?

    You`re right Hairybiker, I could hear him `warmimg up` an aprilia outside the shop when I went to look at a 1200 before I bought one. I also noticed when I went to look at my bike in the shop after it was delivered from Italy that the exhaust had some black soot down the pipe even though the...

    How best to run in my new 4v 1200 sport?

    Thanks guys for your advice. i`ve just read an article written by Kevin Ash that explains `running in` as two processes, `conforming``, where all moving, touching surfaces wear to fit each other better and `surface finishing`, where surfaces flatten at a microscopic level. Interestingly, at the...
