    Guzzi Gander rentals is no more

    Hello Folks As the title says, I have pulled the plug on my Moto Guzzi rental business in New Zealand. The website has been shut down. It wasn't a hard decision to make. I haven't had any rentals for over two years, and Covid-19 effectively shut all borders. I even strayed from the marque...

    The Indian Chief Predecessor

    I posted this originally on an Indian forum, but got very little response. So I'm hoping you guys can help me. Many years ago, I was touring southern California on a Moto Guzzi (California!). I joined another rider who was on a Victory (I can't remember which model). It had the same iconic...

    V85 Turn Indicators recall

    My dealer has just advised me that after 13 months, my replacement turn indicators have arrived. Unfortunately we are currently in Covid-19 lock down, so I intend to wait until the all clear is given in a week or two. But my existing indicators seem to be working fine. Can anyone tell me what...

    V7 III Stone C-Bows & Small Luggage Rack

    I have a V7-III Stone and have ordered the C-Bow pannier mounting brackets from this site. Also considering purchasing the genuine small luggage rack (2S000256_D7), but I'm concerned that they might fight for mounting positions. The rack bolts the rear of the frame, where the two holes are...

    Snap Ring Removal

    I'm trying to remove a snap ring retaining the small self-aligning bearing in the eyelet of the CARC on my 1200 Sport. If it was a normal circlip it would be manageable, and it is my intention to replace it with a circlip for easier future removal. I'm reluctant to attack it with a TIG welder...

    Gear Indicator Cali 1400 Custom

    Lately, I've been noticing that when I am in 1st gear and press my gear lever down further, the readout changes to 2nd. Release the gear lever and the readout would return to normal. Now occasionally, I'm noticing that it will display 2nd when it's moving along in 1st, and my boot is away from...

    1200 Sport (2v) stock footrests

    I've just noticed there are two listings for the rider's footrests in the parts manual, old and new. The part numbers are old LH #977823, new LH #884096; old RH #977822, new RH #884095. Anyone know what the difference is and when the change occurred?

    Fork Cap Screw with O-Ring

    On the California EV and the Vintage (and perhaps other models) with the adjustable forks, there is a small screw with an O-ring inserted into each fork cap. (part #03530506). I'm wondering what their purpose is for. They don't appear to be present on the non adjustable forks. Is is simply a...

    Breva 1100 Odometer Frozen

    After installing a new battery for my Breva 1100, I was surprized to see the odometer had jumped to 335,544 kM (it has done about a 1/10 of this amount) and won't increment. The spanner has also appeared on the dash. Otherwise she is running fine, but I would like to correct this small...

    TPS settings for Various Guzzi Models

    Can anyone advise me the TPS settings for the various Guzzi models, when using VDSTS or Centurion professional? I know the later CARC models expect a figure around 4.6°, and the California Vintage with the twin plug heads should be around 3.2-3.6°. But what about the older models, such as the...

    Tom Tom connector

    I would like to utilize the connector intended for the TomTom GPS to power other devices, including a Garmin Zumo 550. This is the connector I'm looking at. Anyone know what this connector is, and where I might obtain a mating connector? Thanks

    Labor Day Ride

    Just gotta escape the gloom and the marine layer here on the coast at MDR and get a ride in the sun on Labor Day. Methinks Angeles Crest to Wrightwood or even to Big Bear might be a good option. Any other takers?

    Oil Pressure Sensor

    O.K. These always give out occassionally, but on my Breva 1100 here in the USA, I've gone through three replacements and looking at a fourth in 36,000 miles. After replacing the second one, I decided that the batch available in the USA was shoddy, so I brought a new one over from Kiwiland...

    Bleedin' &$#@()+! Brakes

    I'm attempting to send new fluid from the rear reservoir to the front LH disc on an EV Touring. Yes, I know that I probably shouldn't have removed the old lot first, but what's done is done. I've tried a brake vacuum unit sitting on the front nipple, and despite getting a little bit of fluid...

    Breva Pannier Bag Key Blanks

    For the 29 litre Aprilia (Futura) bags, not the Norge which of course uses the ignition key. After a lot of research and frustration, I have found the Silca ZD18 works a treat. An alternative is the Silca YH24, but this one will need slimming down slightly.

    Not wishing to start a tyre thread, but ..........

    I'm currently traveling at higher altitudes, 8,000 - 10,000 feet above sea level. When I went to check the tyre pressures, I found they measured a lot higher than the amount I set them to at sea level. Two questions:- 1. Should I reduce the pressures to read the correct values? 2...

    Heated Grips on a 1200 Sport

    It has been suggested to me that although the 1200 Sport has the same connectors under the tank as a Breva, the "software" for the 1200 Sport doesn't support heated grips. Anybody had success fitting heated grips on the 1200 Sport?
