G'day Folks,

I'll be embarking on the journey of putting my uncle's Guzzi back together soon, well I'm already half done...there will be a post on that soon.

But I was wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of an online workshop manual?

I do 'have' one, but it is quiet possibly the worst workshop manual I have ever seen. This doesn't surprise me though, it has "Peter Stevens" on the front cover (they are a huge dealer here), it is also a photocopy of the original, so the pictures and writing are very hard to see/read. Not ideal.

The alternative of getting a decent copy of a manual is suffering with the one I have, and asking you good lot to answer all my dumb questions :laugh:
I already have a few ready to go as well :whistle:

Thanks guys...now I will start writing the epic that is the first post of a restoration.
 
This site has them in French and Italian. http://guzzitek.org/gb/cadres_gb.htm It is only the LM III supplement, but the drawings and specifications are good. There should be a baseline manual (similar bike) that covers all the common items. My guess would be an early square fin manual should cover the electrical and gearbox, rear drive.
 
Thanks John.

My Italian is shocking, but the diagrams are loads better than the one I have. Should get me going I think.
 
I have a pdf file of a LM3 parts manual if your interested. should be loaded with good assembly illustrations. PM me and I can email it to you if you want.
 
I've never found an English version for the LM III... the Haynes manual for the 850T and LM1-2, although for round fins is pretty good and of course you've already got Guzziologyright?

I have an official Le Mans 1000 (aka LM IV) workshop manual supplement (closest I could get for my 1000S, essentially a LM V with a paint job), in English, & on the bottom of the front page it says "Additions to the workshop manual for the models V1000G5 e 1000SP." I also have the official G5/SP1000 workshop manual it refers to, also in English. The LM 1000 supplement is clearly meant to simply substitute various paragraphs here & there in the G5/SP1000 manual with updated changes as needed for the LM 1000; the paragraph numbering is totally in sync between the two. Therefore, it would appear that there is nothing in between the round head G5/SP1000 manual all the way to the LM IV/V/1000S & perhaps beyond but these rather thin supplements. So, looks like all you can get is the G5/1000SP thing plus the French/Italian LM III supplement John came up with-unless someone can find the LM III supplement in English, presumably it exists somewhere. Good luck.
