Just got it firing!
Hello there Ladies/Gents, I just recently acquired a 1980 V50 II that I plan on giving a new lease on life. She runs but hasn't been driven in years. I am pretty handy with the wrench but I have to say I am completely new when it comes to bikes, and rare Italian ones at that. I was hoping this community can help me by pointing me in the directions on good repair manuals, parts stores and necessary info on our bikes. I learn by doing it hands on so this is a process for me. Currently need a battery (any you guys recommend) to get her running where I'll check on the other systems but I'd like to change all of the fluids before she even moves and inch. I have searched around the net and have gotten wildly different answers on what type of motor oil and gear oil I should be using. The plan is to get her rideable for the summer and as the time provides, refurbish her top to bottom so any and all insight will be hugely appreciated. I live in the Finger Lakes region of NY so any Guzzi lovers around there drop me a line!
Many thanks,
Eric
