Dimitris Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I was reading the owner's manual of the 1200 sport. I thought that the front suspension settings were identical to the Breva's. Or not? As far as the Breva the right side is for the spring preload, whereas the left for the rebound settings. Aren't these identical to 1200 sport?
GuzziMoto Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Preload (which I don't think it has) would be on both sides. You probably mean compression and rebound. Don't know which side is which.

Don't know which side is which. Seems that it is just my confusion. As far as the 1200 sport the one is for rebound the other for compression, you are right. As for the Breva and Norge, I thought that the left one is for rebound and the right for spring preload but as I see both adjusters are for Spring preload only.
coz1100 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 The 1200 sport does have Preload. A for which side is which. I can't remember. sorry Ciao Z
GuzziMoto Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Preload is adjusted on both sides at the same time normally. And you can't miss preload adjusters, they usually stick out the top of the fork leg. I do not have either (V 11 & Griso) but don't recall seeing preload adjusters on Brevas or sports, but the Guzzi spec sheet says there are (but no reference to compression or rebound).
Paul Minnaert Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 well, you made me go to the shed to make you a picture. first is how it looks to you, no adjustment on these bikes. Then second when you take the lid of, a nice screw for compression. So thats left, and reight is rebound. No preload adjsutment. Preload has to do with spring tension. So who i to heavy or light for the bike should get the forks setup by a specialized shop.
GuzziMoto Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 That's funny. Not suprising, but funny. The Guzzi specs are wrong again. Looks like the forks are just modern versions of V 11 forks.

GuzziMoto Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Sorry,I was refering to the compression on one side, rebound on the other. The guts of the fork. Whether it's right side up or upside down is another matter.
