    Fishtailing on hard braking

    Bill, I appreciate your comments. I'm glad you know where I'm coming from. I'd guess mardi gras beads are a local hazard, but I suspect Freaknik causes some similar issues in the ATL. My plan is to pull the rear wheel and swingarm off this weekend and check the wheel and swingarm bearings. I...

    Fishtailing on hard braking

    First thanks for the concern about my riding abilities, but don't misunderstand what I am saying. I have, but do not routinely do it, experienced the joy of locking up my rear wheel when someone threatened to or actually pulled out in front of me. I don't routinely come sliding up to stop...

    Fishtailing on hard braking

    Re: Fishtailing on hard breaking I agree that locking the rear wheel is not ideal. That does not happen every time I brake hard, but it does happen on occasion. I guess what I was trying to convey that I have experienced the spectrum of needing to slow down quickly up to the point of locking...

    Fishtailing on hard braking

    Re: Fishtailing on hard breaking I'd like to do the trouble shooting, but as I am somewhat limited on tools and knowledge it may wind up with a local shop. I don't understand what you mean by a change in how I apply pressure. here is a little more info though. I noticed this last time I...

    Fishtailing on hard braking

    My breva has recently decided this is a fun behavior. I don't agree. It scares the crap out of me. My tires are good, and properly inflated, so they should not be to blame. What is the most likely culprit here?

    Breva 750 leaking rear main bearing

    +1 I just left one mounting bolt to use as a shelf then put a large flat head screw driver in the ring gear to hold it steady while loosening the nuts. Does your leak smell like gear oil or engine oil?

    correct idling for a nevada classic

    Joe, I don't use the bypass screws to synch the throttle bodies. I do follow the procedure in the training video found here http://www.thisoldtractor.com/guzzi_tra ... deo/d3.mov basically this: close both bypass screws and bring the revs up to 2000-3000 and adjust balance with the adjustment...

    No spark Nevada

    I'd also check that the spark plug caps are making good contact with the plug wire core if you have not already done so. 0.65mm gap works for me. Good luck.

    2007 B750 EFI/mapping ?? Poor running below 4,000

    The O2 sensor has a heater built in. If it is in good working order it should get up to temp quickly.

    V7Classic oil level check

    Sump capacity is 1.8L not quarts. 1.8 quarts = 1.7 or so L. You would be under filling to begin with. Maybe 100 ml makes no difference but I figure that oil is good to have. Remember to pull both sump drains when you change the oil, drain out everything, put in the correct measured amount...

    nevada 750 clutch / flywheel

    Sorry scotto I could only offer conjecture at this point as I only know a little about my specific bike. Hopefully someone else will chime in. I will be curious how you get this figured out. Surely someone else has gone through the same thing. Good Luck!

    nevada 750 clutch / flywheel

    What year is the Nevada? If it has the same flywheel as a 04 Breva these pics may help. One of the brackets on the flywheel that the ring gear bolts to has a notch in it (indicated with drumstick) that gets lined up with the yellow mark on the crank face. The crankface is hidden from view...

    BREVA V7 CLASSIC TIMING COVER OIL SEAL

    It is pretty easy to pull one of the oil breather pipes loose from the top of the valve covers too. I have waterproofed my boots this way after adjusting the valves.

    v7 classic - starting problems

    I used the Patrick Hayes solution outlined here https://www.guzzitech.com/forum/160/4908.html on my breva a while back, it has fixed the hard starting completely for me. You may want to check and see if you are getting a big voltage drop at the starter. Also if I leave my bike sitting for more...

    Modern "No Start" issue solution

    Re: Modern "No Crank" Starting issue solution Yes it is a new wire from the positive battery terminal to the relay. BUT the fix outlined here by Mr. Hayes is for the smallblocks. I think the big blocks require something different.

    2005 V7 Breva Odometer stuck on 99999

    I wonder if the problem lies in the ECU and not the instrument cluster. The instruments, I assume, are dumb. That is they don't have a memory. I am curious, So hypothetically lets say that I bought a used instrument cluster from a bike with 25 miles on it and put it on my bike, I would still...

    catalytic converter

    Cats are in the silencers. I don't know if re-chroming will damage anything.

    nevada drive sharft rattle

    My breva makes noises too at idle. They differ when on the side stand, center stand, or with me holding the bike up. If there is an air leak you can get a big vibration. Since the TB's were off recently I'd check all three of the clamps on the throttle body air intakes to make sure they are...
