    Muffler Crack

    The shop is only 60 miles from my place so I kept up on the conversion. The stock unit is a series of steel baffles. As Kevin explained to me, at about 4000 rpm there is enough exhaust pressure to flow through the muffler. This is why you feel the engine really starting to run at that speed. The...

    Muffler Crack

    Kevin Drum's business in building motorcycle mufflers. His goal is zero back pressure at idle, with increasing back pressure as the rpm increases. He kept the cat in as this provides just enough back pressure at idle to prevent reverse flow. The bike is louder, some think too much, but it is...

    Muffler Crack

    Assuming that the Sport muffler is basically the same as the Norge unit the cat converter is in the front of the muffler. To remove the cat would require cutting the front cone including the collector from the main body. After the converter is removed the muffler would have to be welded back...

    Stable Mate

    Thanks for the heads up on quirks. As near as I can tell the gearbox mod has been accomplished. As far as quicker steering with a smaller tire I'm going to let that go. This thing turns in so fast it scares me, the last thing I need to do is make it faster.

    Here's the red mix in PPG/DBC; 908276, which is a Ferrari oem color known as Rosso Corsa. The silver paint mix code is 914092.

    Stable Mate

    This bike has been converted to tube handlebars, so other than the pegs being a bit higher, the seating position is very similar to a Norge/Breva. Did I mention that it is a real 'hoot' in the Blue Ridge Mountains?

    Stable Mate

    My '07 Norge, now with over 25,000 miles on the clock, just got an Italian Stallion for a stable mate. I picked up a silver 2000 V-11 Sport with 9000 miles. Any info on the quirks of the sporti would be appreciated.

    Vespa Of Hendersonville, Guzzi Dealer

    Vespa of Hendersonville, in Hendersonville, NC, took on the Moto Guzzi dealership about 1 year ago. In addition to MG they carry Aprilia, Piaggio, and Vespa. John Lowry, the owner, has just added Robert Ramseyer as the Italian motorcycle guru. Those of you that have attended rally's might know...

    Norge Service Light

    Today I rode 250 miles with about 10 starts, no problems. My normal procedure is to turn the key on, throw a leg, and then start. During this time the dash has settled down. The day I got the faults my wife was with me; it must have taken her 10 minutes to get her coat, find her sun glasses, put...

    Norge Service Light

    That comment makes some sense as it seems illogical to have 3 unrelated faults at the same time. I make sure the light show is over before I mash the start button but there are times when the sequence is pretty close. Think I'll keep an eye on it and press on. Having only 2.5 months left on...

    Norge Service Light

    For the first time I had the service light and the big word 'service' where the odometer belongs. Shut if off and back on and everything okay. I have the following codes: DSB 2; key not present or transponder not recognized. Don't give 2 hoots as I've never programmed the key. DSB 5...

    Norge & broken oil-pump

    No matter what kind of vehicle you're riding or driving all an oil pressure light tells you is that you have just trashed your engine. Gauges provide very useful information and one can watch trends. I would like to install both oil temp and pressure gauges as my warranty is out in 2 months. Any...

    Merry Christmas

    The Norge and I celebrated Christmas by taking a ride along the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. I sure feel sorry for you northern boys, out there playing with your snow blowers on such a beautiful day. :(

    Re:brake rotor ? Break Free can be found at any store that sells guns as it is a gun lube.

    Brake rotor pulsing - resolved

    Re:brake rotor ? Light weight lubes, such as WD40 and 3in1 oil, have a tendency to sling on to the rotor. Keep a good eye out so that you don't take a chance on glazing the pads. This is why I use Break Free CLP as it stays put. When I first noticed the pulsing problem on my Norge 20,000 miles...

    Taking Service Manual Torque Values as Gospel

    One note about torque wrenches. In the aviation industry torque wrenches must be calibrated and certified periodically. My $35 Craftsman wrench may not read the same as your $400 SnapOn tool. If a torque wrench is over 2 years old it is probably a good approximation tool, good for iron and steel...
