    V100 throttle question

    Id be checking for an OBD code for a Lamda probe issue. A "slight" pop on deceleration with a closed throttle around the 1800-2000 rpm mark is typical of a lot of EFI engines. It occurs because the EFI shuts fuel off completely on decell above the above mentioned rpm and the pop occurs as it...

    V100 Tech Talk

    No it won't be. You remove the finger follower pivot pin and the follower and replace the shim. The follower pivot pin is retained by a circlip so it's pretty easy to do by the looks of it. Phil

    Sounds about right for the servicing. Be interesting to see the valve checking intervals although as I mentioned it doesn't look like it will be a big deal to service them anyway. Phil

    V100 Tech Talk

    In images of the crankcases and other major engine components there is a separate sump bolted onto the lower crankcase. So it appears that you can simply remove the lower sump assembly and rotate the crank big end to the six o clock position and the rod big ends will be about 4 inches up in the...

    V100 Tech Talk

    Another thought on the engine construction and maintenance triggered by a poster on another forum. The pistons should be able to be removed by dropping the sump plate and removing the big end caps and removing the pistons and rods from the top after the head has been removed, same as an...

    V100 Tech Talk

    No but they'd be pretty long I'd imagine. I'd be disappointed if they didn't go 25,000klm between checks and should do more. The engine in my 2.3 litre twin cam turbo car with adjustment via varying the thickness of the valve buckets has no scheduled valve adjustment interval for the life of the...

    V100 Tech Talk

    Well a Guzzi now is a different beast to 20 years ago, same as a Ducati. I walk into a Ducati showroom now as an owner of 40 years and many many Ducatis and I dont belong, and my newest one is a 2009 model. The demographic has changed for both. Oh you'll obviously be overjoyed that there is 3...

    V100 Tech Talk

    Well if you want to remove the pistons and sleeves then yes it's an engine strip. Yes the days of rod up rebuilds with the engine in the frame are somewhat gone but it's the modern world and engines are basically designed for ease of production line assembly and minimum machining processes not...

    This is true ( well one piece as in head screwed onto the cylinder) and yes the new Guzzi engine is a wet sleeve. Phil

    V100 Tech Talk

    I don't see what the OP's issue with this is. It's a wet sleeve engine with removeable sleeves and cylinders formed integral with the crankcases. Great design, superior rigidity and replaceable liners which will be a slip fit and retained by the cylinder head. Similar system to the that of the...

    Looks nice except for one MAJOR thing. You can't ride it around with the mufflers sloping down like that, it looks atrocious. Ciao

    Battery light on

    What I dont understand with all this is that as far as I'm aware and Odyssey batter is simply an AGM battery is it not? Is it somehow different from other AGM batteries. Mine look to be identical to the original Spark brand battery the bike came with new even down to the casting marks in the...

    Battery light on

    Exactly John, and fit the mini relays (same as the std control ones under the seat) inside the headlight shell as I and others have done. Ciao

    Battery light on

    Upstream doesn't matter John, when the lights are turned on there is a voltage drop in the circuit due to the inadequate size of the wiring and then the reg thinks the battery voltage is low. Its a known issue. Ciao

    Battery light on

    Just covering their arse. AGM and Lithium batteries are very sensitive to overcharging. I also have a 2000 V11 s and due to the way it senses system voltage via the headlight circuit there is a good chance it will be overcharging the battery. If the battery is an AGM like an Odyssey then they...
