    backfiring on over-run

    up north we just shoot barking dogs LOL - bad valve sets can add to the barking dog issue adding to the confused 02 sensors and at one point it came out of the dealership after the 15000km doing such that it blew out a exhaust gasket on the crossover pipe. Take Todds advice.

    Bank Angle (tip over) sensor

    my 2012 either didn't have one or it didn't work - once my foot slipped on wet mud and lost blance onto the grass no engine shut down - 2nd time slipped of the 4 inch garage apron while backing the bike, engine running over I went slowly holding with all my old muscles - no engine cutoff had to...

    How-To, check swingarm and linkage bearings on NTX

    good job on the post - would there be a proper torgue pattern on the bolting up the swingarm to the CARC. I did a search in the torgue settings in the PDF service manual and couldn't put my finger on the required amount for those bolts. Anyone know off hand?

    Everything a Stelvio owner needs to know in one post

    Great idea - good to have on hand - just a added note re: oil grades -- pending on the time of year and cilmate the bike is in regarding cold starts - 10w-60 is like syrup this time of year in northern BC so I use a full syn 5w-50. Besides 10w-60 is special order in any brand. Mid summer or...

    Clutch Chatter

    Where is your dealer located - we'll all head down there lol IF MG has acknowledge there was a bad patch of clutch plates at the factory one would think they would put out a service bulletin. AF-1 Racing in Florida or MG Cycle are the go to if you want to get straight answers - all the rest of...

    WHERE IS THE Best MG PARTS SUPPLY LOCATED

    Has anyone located the best Moto Guzzi parts supplier across North America . I'm in need of exhaust gaskets. They blew out and I need a couple - did a quick fix with fiberglass and heat resistant cement but it blew out shortly after. Any recipes would help. Heats seems to be a issue and I'm...

    5 Month Ownership summary

    Hey Frost bite good one - hahahaa - couldn't have said it any better other than "Park it Or Ride It" - one thing about spilling your guts on the form is that its better than calling the 1-800 Piaggio Customer Sevice center. At least here when can alway count on Pete's input. hahaaha - Those...

    Stelvio (and others) recall in Canada

    howdy dudie huppy - just got the suspension recall in the mail - the letter did isolate any series of serial numbers and just listed the models involved. May try to have mine sent up and I'll put it on myself.

    Wanted: Graphite Y piece exhaust gaskets in europe

    Loctite makes a product to seal exhaust leaks - comes in a roll and enough there to do both sides - drop or loosen off the pipe at the head - pull it back out of the Y and wrap it around to you feel there is enough to take up the gap. Here in Canada NAPA sells it for just over 5.00. Another...

    Clutch Chatter

    no worries from this end - checked mine over and all seem OK - but may end up making a new one up that will be a little more sturdy. Too far to go for a dealer to do any recalls at this point in time. Wouldn't mind having this clutch chatter thing solved - maybe some of you more seasoned Guzzi...

    Bike Humming - even when shut off

    I like the sound it makes once I park the bike in the garage as I get a kick out of how it entertains my dog - he sure gets a curious look on face, ears cocked, head tilts from side to side. LOL Sounds like there is a Big Bad Ass bumble bee pissed off at the world stuck up in there. I call it...

    Clutch Chatter

    mine does the same thing - this morning before taking off I let the bike warm up a good minute or so. Then with the transmission in neutral I let the clutch, watched the rpm drop slightly and rise up 50 rpm, Then I pumped the clutch lever four or five times, Then dropped into gear and released...

    Oil Leak from Mystery Hole

    Yes Pete you are right - I found out today the hole I was speaking about is a drain for the spark plug well and not a breather as I was told - the oil maybe coming from the oring that surrounds the spark plug well at the valve covers. Sorry for misleading anyone - my bike has been through allot...

    Stelvio extended warranty?

    what warranty - does guzzi offer warranty ???? if so what brand of Cracker Jacks do you buy to find a warranty card to fill out. LOL :lol: I think all the that the young lady answering the phone down at Piaggio is doing while your talking is filing her nails and the word warranty sounds like...

    Oil Leak from Mystery Hole

    look at my comments post - its coming from the valve assembly drain plug between the next set of cooling above the area your looking at - you can see two half round dado's in the fin castings. these were machined at the factory in order to drill two 3mm holes. The lower one is a drain, the upper...

    Oil Leak from Mystery Hole

    there are two 3mm holes on each cylinder - one has a Allen key threaded plug between the 8 & 9th cooling fin - this one is for drainaing excess oil off the valve assembly prior to dis-assembling. The upper one between the 5th & 6th fin is open into the valve assembly. Ths portal (hole) is a...

    NTX Grounded No Parts Available

    The guzzi is back in the barn at the home ranch - arrived here in late June. Parts were still back ordered but my service manager convince the powers to be to swap out the ones needed from a showroom floor demo. Not all is well with it though - a little glitch with running a little lean. We'll...

    Pacific Yamaha - how's their Guzzi maintenance?

    Yeap - gotta agree with the lack parts part of the conversation - its as much Guzzi's fault as it is the dealer. How ever way you look at it the customer suffers . I can sit here all night and bad mouth A to Z and still come of it dissatisfied. I would rely on your own abilities and if there...
