    Tonti Guzzi for a Tall Rider

    Thanks for the collective advice. I am running Norge pegs on my 1200 Sport which I think are a bit lower, and more importantly have a rubber upper surface (my feet kept sliding of the standard metal pegs). Also I use an Airhawk seat cover on my bike which effectively raises the seat height and...

    Tonti Guzzi for a Tall Rider

    Hi: For a few years now I have been looking on and off at buying a Tonti framed Guzzi, however I am tall (188cm / 6ft 2 inches) and have a chronic lower back pain condition which makes comfort a priority for any purchase. I really like the look of the 1000sp/nt and the T4 with the fairing and...

    2017 Model Rumors...

    Am wondering when there is going to be an update to the big block range. The small block range and California seem to have had a lot of attention over the last few years, however as far as I can remember there have been no changes to the CARC 1200 series models (apart from cosmetic paint and...

    V7ii clutch failure - a true grit story!

    Had a similar issue with the rear brake on my 1200 Sport a few years ago. Was on a group ride and pulled into a parking lot that was tarred but had quite a bit of dirt / light stones on the surface, applied the rear brake lightly when coming into park and noticed it stayed on and would not...

    Strange Headlight - Griso

    Okay, will try swapping the relays. BTW, where did you source the relay? Through Guzzi or just a local electrical outlet? Relays in the automotive world are pretty bullet proof and I had thought Guzzi had left behind the bad old days of poor quality electrical equipment....

    Strange Headlight - Griso

    Would be really interested to know if the relay is the problem. Bikes in Australia have their headlights hard wired on by law. On a recent ride, the guy I was following said my headlight went off and on a few times over the length of the day ride (made the comment at the last stop of the day)...

    1200S engine swap

    Android / Brian, thanks for the feedback. 300 Euro / 6-8 week wait for the pump, having to remove the pulleys and timing chain to replace it, not looking forward to that job! I'll PM you Android for the low down.

    1200S engine swap

    So what is the general consensus out there? Keep running the 2v 1200 Sport and wait for an issue or change the oil pump now? Is there an upgraded pump that does not suffer from the cracking problem?

    1200S engine swap

    Looks like you are making good progress, hope it goes well. I thought oil pump failures were supposed to be restricted to early 2v Norges? Am now starting to get nervous with my 07 Sport..... What actually happened? Did you get any warning signs?

    CARC Reaction Rod

    Thanks Fiat500. Now I will just have to wait until I need a few parts and put together a bulk order, the postage to Australia is pretty steep for a single part....

    CARC Reaction Rod

    Thanks for the information. I do have one further question, what did you use the round bar machined to just over 10mm for? Was this need to mount the Silentblock so you could machine the face of the bush down to a 29mm length? I am assuming you did this as you did not want to subject the rubber...

    CARC Reaction Rod

    Fiat500, just to confirm, the 883045 Silentblock is 30mm long, when the old bearing is 29mm long for the 1200 Sport? The diameter is the same? I assume you just ground then ends down with a bench grinder until the total length was 29mm? I have a 1200 Sport (2v) and am considering the mod. Thanks

    Riding Position 1000 Lemans vs Sport 1100 vs 1200 Sport

    Hi: I am interested in getting a tonti framed Guzzi and was originally looking at a 1000sp (and still am) however there are not many around, and although a 1000 Leman's looks are not to my tastes (as opposed to the 850 versions), the price point is a lot more affordable. There are a few on the...

    1100 Sport

    Might be the clutch pushrod seal is around the wrong way from the factory. When we pulled the box from my late 1995 Sport, there was no evidence it had been out since the bike was manufactured, there was a bit of oil on the clutch plate and the clutch Hub, coming from the pushrod seal that had...

    MGS-01

    Must say I too am intrigued with what you use an MGS01 in Singapore for? Trackdays? Extended rides to quiet Malaysian backroads? I was recently in Bali and saw a guy riding around on a 1098/1198 Ducati in Sanur. I can't imagine how you would use a quarter of the perfornance of that bike on Bali...

    Model Advice - Tonti Framed Guzzi

    Rafael: Have been mulling over buying Guzziology for a while, guess I should go ahead and get a copy now. Buying from moto International on ebay is fine, postage to Australia however nearly doubles the price..... I am in no rush to buy, so if an sp comes up for sale nearby, I will go over and...

    Model Advice - Tonti Framed Guzzi

    Ghezzi; I understand where you are coming from about the Le Mans series, however the small framed bikes (mk1-3) don't provide enough leg room and cost is simply a big factor in the bike selection. I really need to limit the purchase to around $7000, which is not going cover a Le Mans in decent...

    Model Advice - Tonti Framed Guzzi

    Hi everyone: I am looking for some advice on buying a Tonti Framed Guzzi. I already have CARC and Spine Framed Guzzis and want to finish off the collection, and am wondering what model to go for. I like the looks of the LeMans series (Mk1-3) however I really want something more comfortable and...

    Would you concider a Daytona 1000 at this stage of life?

    Are you worried that with your age it is a bike with too commited a riding position? I guess it depends on how much you want the bike and whether you are willing to put up with the comfort issues. I am 38 years old and have a chronic back pain condition, however I own a Sport 1100. It is...

    Im about to buy another Guzzi 1000. Info required .

    It is my understanding that the Le Mans 1000 mk5 did not sell very well towards the end and there were a lot siting around the factory unsold by 1993 / 1994. Based on the success of a limited edition run of Californias, Guzzi stripped down the bikes and repainted them, changed the alternators...
