    CARC - how hot can it get?

    Had my new (to me) Griso 1100 out for a quick ride on the Autobahn after work today, about half an hour at speeds up to 160 km/h, and when I got home I found that my CARC was very hot - almost too hot to touch. I don't remember the final drive of my 1200 Sport to get so hot but I am not sure...

    Hi from Germany!

    Greetings from Ulm, Germany! I used to live in LA until 2015 and rode a 1200 Sport over there. After a short stint on a Harley Sportster here in Germany I am now back among the Guzzisti having just purchased a Griso 1100. I've always had a weak spot for the Griso and am thrilled to have found a...

    Anyone interested in a nice aluminum dipstick?

    Exhaust gasket alternative

    I had to replace the two exhaust gaskets of my 08 B12S that connect the header pipes to the collector. The MG part number of the gaskets is 05121630. When I looked up the price for the gaskets I balked - Harper wants $30.70 - for one!! That's a whopping $60+ dollars for two gaskets, shipping...

    Black Griso on side of I-405

    Just spotted a black Griso 1100 on my way to work. It was parked up on the side of I-405 South near Venice Blvd with no one around, probably broken down. I hope it's nothing serious and the owner will get it recovered and fixed soon.

    What's that leaking now?

    Just returned from a ride in the Malibu canyons and out to Neptune's Net (crazy out there today!!) and found the following: Is that my valve cover gasket leaking??

    B12S clutch squeaking noise

    I noticed today that when I pull the clutch on my B12S 2V (with the engine off) there's a squeaking noise which appears to come from the general area where the hydraulic hose attaches to the engine/gearbox. Is that something that warrants attention?

    Horn upgrade

    The stock horn on the B12S (as most bikes’ stock horns) is merely a beeper suitable only for gently raising the awareness of motorists who are already reasonably attentive. Getting through to the ever increasing number of cagers moving across lanes while texting, talking on the phone, attending...

    Breva DIY fender eliminator / tail tidy

    I never liked the large rear fender on the Breva and decided to get rid of mine. Unfortunately, it is not as straight forward as on other bikes because the rear sub fender extends out under the main fender, but with a bit of creative engineering I managed to chop the sub fender and make it all...

    How to remove the rear fender??

    How do I remove the rear fender on my B12S - the piece to which the license plate and turn signals are mounted? I removed four obvious screws and the whole thing wobbles but won't come off. On closer inspection it appears that there may be a tab going up behind the tail light. So I tried to...

    Do I have an oil leak?

    I just noticed that there was a bit of oil on the inside of the chin fairing of my B12S. On closer inspection, I found that there's oil on one of the braided hoses to the oil cooler and it appears that the oil came out of one of the openings in the plastic part that covers the front of the...

    Pro Italia Glendale vs. Vespa Sherman Oaks

    I recently bought my first Guzzi – a 2008 Breva 1200 Sport – and it is due for a service soon. The two dealers closest to me are Vespa Sherman Oaks and Pro Italia in Glendale. Who's had any first-hand experience with either dealer for service work? Vespa Sherman Oaks would be closer for me but...

    Clutch help

    I'm new to Guzzis and hydraulic clutches. The clutch on my 1200 Sport engages very late, i.e. at the very end of clutch lever travel. Is there an easy way to adjust this?
