I had a reasonable nice running Mille GT
I noticed that the clutch boss was grabbing and the gearbox had slow weep. The guzzi has slowly disappeared before my eyes.
Now looks like this. I have removed the Mille/ Cali flywheel and replacing it with a lighter one off a Le Mans. Measuring the clutch plates. Looks like they where on the last legs. Better to do this at home, instead of on the road some where. The big question is. Will the Guzzi make it back togeather?
The deeper I go. the more I find that needs fixing. The cam chain has quite alot of free play. I also have a Euro Moto Electric alternator to go in as sitting there on the bench to replace the Saprisa alternator.
Most things I have found so far, have been butchered. So, I decided to bite the bullet and put the Guzzi off the road and fix things that need doing once and for all. Fingers crossed this is all I need to do for the next 60,000 miles.
I am hoping the le mans fly wheel at half the weight and the same weight as an 80's airhead. Will help with riding smoother.
The saprisa electrics have slowly wound down and needs over 3000 rpm before cracking 13.8v. Being a cool climate, the spanish electrics cannot handle having the lights on with heated handlebar grips and zumo without the battery slowly draining.
Hopefully the euro moto electrics with power all the extras. It sure does work on my RS. Too well in fact. Keeps blowing indicator bulbs when at highway speeds.
Here is a close up of a standard Guzzi set up
Minus cam chain and sprockets with the original tensioner in place.
New cam chain (Regina c221cs-jws-74 ) and valtek tensioner
Euro moto electric alternator fitted. Notice how pitted and covered grease the engine is for a low mileage bike
LM 4/5 Flywheel fitted with new bolts.
Hello, what's going ere then? And where I am up to at the moment
Shiny newly painted fairing
