go ahead! paint your Guzzi like Italians had their Macchis painted just kidding, love the spokes!

saved 5mins before 12!!!

OR... remove alternator cover, there is a 24mm nut, use 24mm wrench to turn over the crank. Before doing this remove the plugs. You can also watch marks on flywheel - S for Sinistra (Left) D for Destra (right). Don't forger to check that the pistons are in compresion turn - in TDC the piston should be in its verytop. Check this by putting some soft wooden ply in the plug hole. Also check that the push rods are spinning free. Voila, you have the piston in TDC and you can adjust yout tappets. Doing the other side is just the same. Turning the nut in front of alternator seems to me bit more "profesional" and easier that turning the engine by moving the rear wheel, but of course, it is an option too! Good luck Slavek

any clipons with 54mm diameter should fit. I had black Woodcrafts and they were great. hit google "clip on handlebar 54mm"

because we will try to go with 1300ccm next year

hi all, currently looking for camshaft from V11, Griso... as a replacement for shaft in my 1100 Sport. thanks Slavek

definatelly! With more than 100.000km on the clock I was aware of this, actually new lifters are ordered and some local shops asked with cam regrinding. Let's see the outcome. I believe that properlly renewed camshaft should work at least a year, consider it is a street-illegal bike. keep you posterd. Interesting thing is that the rocker arms are allright without any sign of damage. cheers Slavek CZ

:bbblll: :bbblll: :bbblll: Hi Raz, so how's your new cam working? Slavek

Stuchi Luigi is preparing half faired kit for Griso, they had some previews available on Eicma in Milano 2011. let's wait and see.

Hi Tom! thanks for the tips! I've just bought this lovely fairing which is a copy of old V7... looks good I think!

so finally some progress, new gearbox installed (helical gears) the tank has to be re-welded as the mounting bracket is damaged. Also some big load of gaskets, orings and all the stuff from Stein-Dinse is on the way. Meanwhile some photoshoping. Still not convienced about the fairing. will keep you posted.

and don't forget to choose the propper hammer!

you mean in service point or workshop?

I used OEM rotors with Brembo OEM pads and Acosato radial master pump, it worked on track without problem, with race pads it was even better. As somebody already mentioned above me, the feel from brakes is closely related to setup of your front suspension

What t.. F...!! I did an inspection today, as a part of the anual winter check and maintenance round. Removed the oil sump, suspecting to find a hint or solution as to why my oil light came on under 2500 revs, when warm. No clues to find there.... Ah well, just spanner-along. And then when (trying) to remove the old oil filter...... Something odd took place. Normally the old oil filter, once a bit loosened, can be further unscrewed by hand. Not this time though. So unscrewing it further with the apropriate tool, the filter came off and reveilled a somewhat desintegreted rubber ring on the mating surface of the filter. Could this be the cause of the funny light saying oil in the dash? Ok, change filter with a new one. Carefully tighten it to the specified torque. Put back on the oil sump, fill with oil. Start. Rev some more... No funny light saying oil anymore in the dash!! Now, I realise that this half an hour (on the standard in the garage...) dry driving isn`t representative for normal use. But the oil was surely hot, and the oil cooler was more than handwarm too. And since the outcome of Vuzzi`s quest is more or less the same I`m pretty sure that I had a somewhat same problem: a faulty rubber o-ring on the oil filter. I had the same issue on my V11 - rubber ring on UFI oil filter was somehow old or ill - there were visible small bubbles in it once taken out. The oil pressure was close to 0,5 bar at idle revs. Once rpm rised it went to about 1 bar - not enough at all. I dismantled complete oil pan, spent hours on looking for the bug just to find that the rubber ring was broken. Careful on those things next time cheers Slavek

Merry christmas to all Hooters lovers! Sorry for the demo notice but this picture was not officialy released yet... love them both, but must confess that the Ducati is more reliable

17% of road accidents are caused by drunked drivers. What about the 83% caused by sober drivers?!!!!!!

Ah ha! Good thought: which album could it be? Something more clever/interesting than Drive By Truckers (DBT immediately springs to mind). C'mon y'all it can be MUCH WORSE

For more than 15 years now I am into business with south east asia. All chinese always say "No problem"* Actually, it means "No, problem!" *It is a matter of their culture of not loosing face ... I know, I was in China for a while... likely they will guide to wrong direction than not to "help" at all

On Eicma, there were at least 10 companies producing spoke wheels on demand (all from China), I asked them if they are willing to adapt wheels for Guzzi. All of them said there is no problem of doing so. Now comes only question of quality...

I haven't run it, this is the Sport I bought from older Guzzista on ebay in Germany His symptomes were "bit louder 5th gear" Don't know what he has been running, he claimed that Guzzi was serviced on regular basis... But I don't blame him, he is one of the "technical type"...

no good news.. all gears look like this...

I believe that chameleon mettalic will be the best option

anybody have 5speed tranny for sale?

Keep the V11 and sell me the 1000s. That's what I would do. Yes, keep the V11 and sell the 1000S.... to me
