Quota , a little quirky , get 'em sorted and they're fine . i've got 2 . , 2 mates in Italy have some . odd parts ...you just have to work eBay a bit. there were no more than 40 imported into the UK.

was searching for something else and this popped up . James is a nice bloke , he did have a V11 , he did gig with his guitar on his back. he comes from a long line of military people in his family , he is a babe magnet ( different girl everytime he came in ( once he was famous )) his parents were most upset, when he quit the army, but they calmed down as it all came good. he is quite shy. i certain guzzi mechanic ( also ebay seller ditchpimp1 ) in London, claimed on another forum, to have worked on his bike , but when the new owner rang up and asked....i supplied all the invoices with his name on them. he now drives a cobra ( not a real one ). talk about reviving an old thread.

there is a 3rd gen speedo sensor available , i haven't had one of those fail .....yet. they have been around for a few years.

unless the selling dealer recorded the key number.

i'm running a 30 amp fuse , it is a solenoid problem, i think.

so what happened then ?

hmm , i think this ebay dealer is bent . based in Latvia. wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot barge pole .

loosen it and knock it downwards .

Piaggio seem to want to have all their products in one shop . We ( Corsa ) weren't interested in doing everything else they sell , so received little support from them . they were quite happy, to dump all their problem warranty jobs on me, and open up new dealers , in the area we moved from , thus cutting our market out .

lent mine to a friend , who is bored , and needs something to play with in his garage

check the clutch cut-out switch ? does it crank when you turn the bars ? I've had this loads of times

Sad news , Corsa Italiana Ltd , the firm i worked at for 13.5 years has folded .

or 07536 116 176 , in se9 4tu , search baldrick and guzzi .

bump

yes , slave is at back of g/box we did bleed clutch , flush bell housing , fixed it for a day ....changed m/cyl ....ALL GOOD .

there have been problems with rr master cyl, pull it apart and check .

i have just had this problem with the same bike , master cylinder is the problem . replace or rebuild it . we did all the easy things first , then bit the bullet and put on a new one . FIXED .

pillion hangers on round the wrong way in original pics ?

there is a new workshop in south east london , baldrick the spannermonkey , works there . He used to work at Corsa Italiana for 13 years so is fluent in ' guzzi '

he doesn't remember ....he has a hard job finding his arse with both hands !

use the clutch centre boss to roughly align everything , offer up g/box to check , bolt it down as per manual

Single Barrel Balvenie.

Baldrick has left Corsa Italiana , now working in se9 4tu just off the A20 . says he is still doing M-Guzzi's . his phone number is 0208 857 7777. he doesn't bite .....well he hasn't bitten me !

i'm reasonably sure , a stelvio uses same size bush , push one out, push one in .

I consider this part of the Moto Guzzi's 'quaint character'. I eliminated mine fogging quite by accident when I installed a Givi mini fairing on the bike. TRUST ME I'M A MECHANIC. it works. Steve i must have scanned this before finishing reading it, as broken tach glass came to mind after seeing *eliminated fogging* and *accident* BTW, if i kept goldfish in mine, i couldn't keep the cat off the bike. stef I find the cat insulates the tacho and eliminates the misting problem. I can't bring myself to drill the holes, I think this will just lead to some other issue, such as a dead goldfish. Interesting that a fairing sorted the issue. I am currently trying to fit a (copy) LeMans mk1 fairing to my bike . . . now where's that club hammer ?
