well thats encouraging! I rode it tonite but the tire is so wacky i couldn't tell how well t he fork works etc.. I think I'll do the trade tomorrow morning. heres my pics i don't think the front wheel has ever been off.

heres Carl Allisons schematic for the V11 sport probably pretty close to what yours looks like? http://www.guzzitech.com/guzzi007/schemati...9_V11_sport.gif

heres the bike I'm looking at getting... http://gallery.halfront.com/Guzzi/DSC01354?full=1 check out the wear on the front tire, ITS WORN MORE ON THE LEFT SIDE (when on bike) than the right, whats up w/that? I plan to try to measure the alignment of fr&r wheels before making the deal. the tires might be original as the bike has a little over 7k miles. maybe they are just really worn and that happens? I need quick answer, looking at the bike tonight. thanks, Brad

ok I did search and the diablo stradas seem to win but I'd like to hear more about the Pirelli Scorpion Sync, does gravel well? and durring the search you all talk about going to the 170 rear from the 180 but the specs I saw gave the 170 as stock rear. whats the best size? thx

I might trade my Bassa for a 02 Lemans this weekend! he's riding up from Chicago on some pretty worn tires... I tried the search cause I don't intend to come hear and start a bunch of tire and oil threads BUT, what are the best tires on this bike? and what else should I specifically watch out for? I know about the engine paint. I am aware of the changes made to the 03-04 models but this is what I have a chance at. welcome your thoughts ... I might be looking for some HB bags mounts, anyone? thx, Brad

I'm pretty sure you need a new battery. these bikes must have 12.5 volts to work right. do you have another one you could swap in and try?

check your battery , you need a good 12.5 volts... my reasoning is the tach failing first. have you had it load tested?

thats really too bad, I wanted to go.

took a corner, side swiped a truck, crossed my fingers just for luck.

In Minneapolis the weather is unbelievably warm, it's been in the 20-30F range for the whole month of January. very pleasant to not have to pay for heat when its usually well below zero in Jan. AND I've ridden twice this winter already!

heres my list 1, V11 Lemans Nero Corsa 2, Daytona 3, Centauro 4, Bassa 5, Convert 6, Early Lemans 7, Disc brake Eldo 8, V7 sport 9, Normale 10, KTM Duke
