    Bicycle race, Guzzi content

    Here is a video from stage three of the Tour de Beauce, UCI category 2.2 cycling race. This year I was handling the moto cameraman aboard the Norge. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JUfVNuYrtQ

    Normal current draw from Bosch starter

    The starter is drawing 70A while cranking, I was wondering what is normal/acceptable. I tuned up my starter on the LeMans, i.e cleaned brushes, rotor and the contacts inside the solenoid. It's working much better, and the bike fires immediately so it's not as if I'm running the starter for any...

    Pissy Norge

    Went for a short ride this afternoon and noticed some oil traces down by the sump. It looks like it's coming from the pressure switch, I had it off last year to check the running oil pressure. At that time I had also sealed the phase sensor and the plastic crankcase ventilation hose connection...

    pinched stepper air hose

    Since removing and reinstalling the airbox to check my oil pressure switch, I was having a low idle at startup and occasional stalling at stoplights, when hot or cold. I got around to checking it out tonight and found the hose from the airbox to the stepper motor was pinched by the airbox :oops...

    white exhaust valve

    I had the LH exhaust manifold off to seal my phase sensor and to check my oil pressure switch, and noticed how white my exhaust valve was. With these engines running so lean, I'm wondering what to make of this, or is it normal/acceptable...

    A few good deals on some OEM accessories

    Hi, As some of you may know my local dealer Euromoto is closing up shop. They have been an outstanding dealer in Canada, and true enthusiasts all along, but unfortunately, they have been unable to reach an agreement with Piaggio since they took over the importation into Canada, so have been...

    LM IV forks

    I just picked up an 86 LM IV, and wonder how the air forks work. First, my crossover tube is leaking, so i'm not maintaining air pressure. I assume the air is preload, how do I adjust damping? oil viscosity? In the manual I have they mention ATF 150cc's per leg. Can I change oil viscosity or...

    Work in Progress...

    Well, I have a buddy who was hauling his bike to Florida to see friends and family over the holidays and he offered to haul my Norge down there :mrgreen: So instead of tripping over the bloody thing in my shop all winter, it'll be on the gulf coast just waiting for me to get a few days off. If...

    North Shore Quebec

    I've been fortunate lately having equipment to commission throughout the province. Last week I had to head up the North Shore, a beautiful region of Quebec located along the northeastern portion of the Gulf of St-Lawrence. This region is basically built around big hydroelectric complexes, iron...

    Broken engine temp sender

    Well, I finally got around to repairing my annoying oil leak today, I've isolated it to the sender but broke the plastic sender holder. The question is while I'm waiting for the replacement part can I make a new holder out of aluminum or brass (which I have on hand) or do I have to scrounge...

    the place where people gather

    I was out last week in northern Quebec in the Cree Nation community of Ouje-Bougoumou, "The place where people gather", about 750 km north of Montreal. This community was recently settled in 1992 by cree natives who were scattered across the territory and continuously displaced by mining and...

    Nice ride along the St-Laurent and Saguenay rivers

    I had a few sevice calls to make, and arranged everything so I could get them done over a few days and of course, on the Norge... This is the route. Aside from a few hours on the highway on the first and last day, the rest was all curves...
