    Road version of Moto Guzzi V85 in development

    Yep. Something style like the early Lemans, lean and low. Where is the deTomaso design team when you need them?

    V7 C-S Suspension Thread

    Todd, how much travel do these shocks provide, and how cheaply can we get the ST01s to Australia? Thanks, Mal

    Breva 11 - Norge 12 & 1200 Sport Registry and picture thread

    Ok some more images of my Guzzi on a recent trip around Victoria with my brother. He hired a 1200GS and we did some of the best roads in the state. These images are mostly from the ride on the Great Ocean Road, but also did a run up to Mt Baw Baw.

    Shifty Shifter

    Here is my take on the missing "clunk". When the engine is running in neutral and the clutch is engaged, there is a mass in the transmission spinning with the engine. When you disengage the clutch to click into gear, the spinning mass will slow down and stop. How long it takes to stop depends on...

    New Stelvio owner crunching gearchanges

    Thanks for your input John. I have not been able to find any other information yet that supports or disagrees with your experience so have decided to change it out until i can get more data. Its a shame because the gear changes are much nicer with MoS2. I do believe there will be ways to use it...

    New Stelvio owner crunching gearchanges

    John, what links the MoS2 as the cause of the pitting? And what product did you use for the MoS2 and for how long? I ask this because there are various products around that claim MoS2 content and they can be very different, with different particle size and at different proportions. These factors...

    New Stelvio owner crunching gearchanges

    Hey John, thanks for your response. I had done some reading on the topic before trying it and I think that there is little chance of that being a concern. It requires high temperatures of 500 degrees plus and other factors (not just moisture), and takes time to degrade. I also suspect these...

    New Stelvio owner crunching gearchanges

    You might want to change out the gearbox oil to see if things get smoother. If you want to take it further, you can try Molybdenum Disulphide (MOS2) additive in the gearbox. I have done this with my 1200 Sport and the gear change is now silky smooth and no longer misses 3-to-4 at higher revs...

    1200 Sport - Norge handling.

    Ben, thanks for bringing your experience to this forum. I think anyone that has made some mods to the suspension realises there are big handling gains to be had. I am sure there are many on this forum like me that want to keep the cost down as much as possible and explore what can be done with...

    More Mt Baw Baw goodness. A recent storm had blocked the road in a number of places but was cleared in time for me to do a run in perfect weather. They have a limited snow season and the ski resort is now closed so there was very little traffic, with only a couple of cars and a couple of bikes...

    GuzziTech GTM modded Cal 14 Dyno vs. Stock

    I finally got the GTM® modded Cal14 on the Cycle World dyno late yesterday, and the results are below. A completely stock 1400C shown as a blue trace below, then with my GTM® Slip-on mufflers and H-pipe with opened air box lid and GTM® Fueling kit, results in the green trace: ~6-8 hp constant...

    A few more from the same ride. You might notice my lights are on in some of the photos. I had ridden this road the previous weekend, and travelled the windy forest section from one end to the other (about 35kms) before I saw another vehicle, which started to worry me considering how cold it was...

    Took a winter ride to test how weather proof this new $40 top box was, but didn't get enough rain to tell. I had my GPS on and can tell you 110 kph is really 105, so the speedo on the bike is a bit optimistic.

    Weight of a 1200 Sport

    Hi 2Laner, my point was that the 1200 Sport is not as heavy as people think. There are not many torquey shaft drive bikes suitable for big guys that are any lighter. Against other touring bikes its a lightweight.

    Weight of a 1200 Sport

    Thanks Tony. I had read many different weights in forum posts and they varied wildly. No surprise really considering the official manuals gave some wildly varying weights for these machines. To be honest I think its a case of cut and paste and poor editing but check out the official kerb weight...

    Weight of a 1200 Sport

    Just for reference, the weight of my 1200 Sport is 226.5kgs with 1/4 tank of fuel, which is almost exactly 500 lbs. It probably still had 6+ litres in the tank so the dry weight would be somewhere around 222 which is the same as the Griso. To weight it, I used bath scales and got 114 on the...

    Solved - Breva 1100 Dash Warning Light/ OIl Pressure Switch

    Had faulty sensor, not faulty connection I too had the problem of dashboard error code 07, firstly intermittent and then finally constant. I checked the connection and it was loose so tightened it up with a pair of pliers and deleted the errors in the diagnostics (select Mode on the left hand...

    Breva 1200 High Idle

    Guys, I have searched and read a few posts regarding this high idle problem (over 2000 rpm) and I may have found a cause for it. I have recently had trouble with my oil pressure sensor and through diagnosis and a number of attempted fixes, I finally got a new sensor in. To do this I needed to...

    My 1200 Sport 2V was purchased from Adelaide, Australia in April 2011 ( VIN ZGULPM0077M111533 ) with 15000 kilometers on the clock. Build date is Feb 2007. I am the second owner. Recently fitted a PCV and Autotune ordered through Todd here at GuzziTech. Its now had its first auto-tune and...
