OJ , where did you get those little wheel encased 90 degree fittings for the top of you flat tops ? Ghezzi , I rang this morning and left a message for Tommy to get back...

    Dellorto PHM 40 conversion to pull-push.

    Hya Ghezzi, iI take your point regarding EFI . My TL 1000 is precisely that which you describe . BUT , have you any info about the conversion to pull-push rods inside a Dellorto PHM40, or Flat Top conversion for my Lemans ? I'll be in Brizzy sometome late this month , or early next month...

    Dellorto PHM 40 conversion to pull-push.

    My wrist is still aching from last weekend's ride on my 1993 Lemans Ultima Edizione V1000. I love the bike , hate the throttle . I've heard numerous comments about converting the carbs to Flat Tops , instead of the as produced "Crank" mechanism. Seriously , what is the reduction in wrist...

    Valve Height on LM 1000

    Hello there OJ and JZ . I see that together , you've kicked this valve stack theory around a fair bit. Knowing the collective knowledge applied , I'd say it'll need to be an unsolvable problem to beat you two. I see something in the pics that makes me think straight away , the head gasket...

    What did you do to your Moto Guzzi today?

    As I hadnt had the Mk V out for a run recently , the opportunity presented itself yesterday. I connected the Battery Charger , an "Optimate " , and left it overnight . In the morning , after Id checked the tyre pressures and oil level ,she fired up well , as it always does anyway . The planned...

    What did you do to your Moto Guzzi today?

    Today I moved my 1993 Lemans Mk V across in the shed and parked a 1942 Indian 741/ 500cc beside it , just to keep it company . I figured a nice little companion for the Guzzi and the V Rod would be happy with a "Little Indian" in there as well. Supaflee

    Top speed hit on your Guzzi

    Thanks JZ . Now it really makes sense . I wish I knew the piece of road , it sounds like fun . Just like music, when you practice it and know it well it's beautiful , but dont ever play a wrong note . Regards Supaflee

    Missing and spluttering at 4800-5500 1993 Lemans V1000

    Thanks for that Will. So , not altogether an unfamiliar problem by the sounds of your feedback. With this info in hand , I'm going for some trial runs later today , using the 98 Octane BP fuel. Im wondering now if , maybe its a combination of too much throttle along with an...

    Missing and spluttering at 4800-5500 1993 Lemans V1000

    Hhhhmmmmmm, ok . It looks to me as though another test run is required . Goody !! I'll just wait for the right moment , and until I know there's a conference or a meeting of some sort to otherwise occupy the patrolling police , then , zooooooooooooom. I'll report again later . Thanks for the...

    Missing and spluttering at 4800-5500 1993 Lemans V1000

    JZ , Ive just found out that the 98 Octane fuel I'd put in the tank contained 10% Ethanol. Here's a little background , When I bought the bike recently it had very little fuel in it and it pinked like hell, even under slight excelleration . I filled the tank , 20litres , with BP 98 Octane . No...

    Top speed hit on your Guzzi

    Yesterday while out riding I had the opportunity to give my 1993 Lemans V 1000 a bit of a handful . Lovely long straight of about 3 K's , no police , warm afternoon , no traffic , just me and Mrs Guzzi . At one stage the speedo clock was showing 210 KPH , from memory the rev counter was 6500 ...

    Missing and spluttering at 4800-5500 1993 Lemans V1000

    Ah ha , I think you may have a good point there John. At the time the missing was most noticeable , I'd hauled the throttle wide open in one single movement , thinking I'll just wind her up a bit from 4000 with wide open throttle all the way . Never for one moment recognising what may be...

    Missing and spluttering at 4800-5500 1993 Lemans V1000

    Today I went for a ride on my 1993 Ultima Edizione Lemans . Wow what a buzz . After about 100 Ks , when I'd settled into it a bit and gave her a handful in 3rd , 4th , and 5th , I noticed surging and missing in each gear , when at wide open throttle she reached about 4800 through to 5500 Rpm...

    Dogleg brake and clutch levers for Le Mans II

    Stevex , Im going to assume that you have some metallurgic knowlege. Take the levers off the bike . IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD TRAINING , AND ARE NOT EXPERIENCED IN THE SAFE USE OF OXY ACETYLENE EQUIPMENT , DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS . Hold the lever in a vice , close to the zone at which you require the...

    What did you do to your Moto Guzzi today?

    And since then , I've lowered the brake lever 10mm, and the gearshift lever 12mm . Scrubbed the timing chest and got the crap off it . Reset each of the carbs so she idles at 1050 and adjusted the idle mixture screws as well , at that rev setting to the optimum smoothness. ( which...

Im real grateful to all of you . Today I'll be speaking with a local Guzzi nut , Ill ask him if he's got any springs I can try , I...
