Does anyone know the part numbers of Ohlins suspension as fitted on the 2002 models? Can you add any more info to this? Edit: thanks, I've added some more numbers in now. 1 Ohlins, MG 2002 Front Forks The forks are Road & Track 43mm's (on website: FG 43) Code number: FG 8470 2002.01.25 (Right) FG 8470 2002.01.23 (Left) spec: Springs: std 8.5 N/mm? or 9? R&T43 oil Oil level / air gap: 80 to 110mm. Stock gap is 85mm (can more people confirm this?). Dave L posted these figures: "Here is the Fork Spring Info (from an Ohlins Fork Manual, but not the Scura manual...): " OEM spring rate 4745-95, 9,5 N/mm Optional springs: 4745-75, 7.5 N/mm (marking -75). ( = 7.65Kg/mm which close to 7.7) 4745-80, 8.0 N/mm (marking -80). 4745-85, 8.5 N/mm (marking -85). 4745-90, 9.0 N/mm (marking -90). 4745-95, 9.5 N/mm (marking -95). 4745-10, 10.0 N/mm (marking -10). 4745-05, 10.5 N/mm (marking -05). 4745-11, 11.0 N/mm (marking -11). Rear Suspension unit Ohlins code number: ? Guzzi part number: MG1260 (The model number on the shock unit, underneath forward eye, is MG1260) On the website it looks like the code number is a 46 HR.. , or is this a relacement kit? (MG kit: MG 127, shock absorber 46 HRCS) "Ohlins list 46HRCS as aftermarket fitment has remote preload adj (S) so... ours would be 46 HRC (Ext res =H, Adj reb =R, Adj comp =C). Presumably they do not supply 46HRC set up for V11. [baldini has] 100N/mm (85 std) spring but may go for next stiffer in future." "Cycle World changed shim stack, reducing comp damping by approx 5%" The Rear Spring is Code number: 1091 - 26/85 L511 1091 is part no. for 160mm long spring (1093=150mm) 26/85: 26 is Ohlins code for 85N/mm spring rate L*** is just a batch no. spec: -Spring is 160mm long- -approx 80mm outside diameter -made with approx 11mm diameter rod (10 mm wih coating ?) -has 5 complete coils at full thickness or 6 complete coils with taper of spring included. 2 Ohlins, MG 2003/04 revised suspension, numbers/spec: ??????????? What's the difference? Info from previous posts. This info isn't comprehensive or up-to-date. A lot more on personal settings/adjustments has been posted since this thread was originally done: 3 More on custom changes Baldini, about 200lbs, changed springs: Front – 10 from 8.5 AND increased air gap to 100mm Rear – 100 from 85 "W/heavier springs I reduced damping - b (now 6-12 clix out) & f - & got a better ride... it's working on the spring rather than the damping - damping's to control speed. Setting comp damping for comfort means bike moves around a bit more. At first this is a bit disconcerting but only becomes a problem if pushing really hard on bumpy roads or you can't trust your tyres. I use Guzzi book pressures, which are lower than manuf rec'd." DBD, 252lbs, had changes: Pro Pilot revalved both the front forks and the rear shock as well as changing the stock spring on the rear shock to a heavier one. • "Valving front and back were modified for weight, and plushness with more controlled damping from the initial compression, smother transition into mid-stroke, and rest of travel with applicable bottoming resistance corrected for rider weight. Should feel "more controled action" (less springy and jumpy) thru whole stroke front and rear with more usable function at adjusters (better damping / much more comfy)" • forks: a slightly different weight oil, (245/262W) rather than heavier fork springs. Pro Pilot didn't feel the range increase was worth the expense of changing springs. • spring: SPG 1091-29 261F/248INS 13MM PRE. (Doesn't match number format above?) DBD says, I assume the 29 number refers to the rate, the 261 is the length and the 248 indicates the preloaded length as installed?

Ain't it grand (I think they had them knocking around in the parts bin, the one where the keep the furry slipper material and the green paint that was left over from that time they planned to paint the windtunnel but had second thoughts when they saw the colour.)

Looks fabulous. Are there no fences?

Who changed the pic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ? The lovely Scura pic has gone! And it's been replaced by the picture of a young chap who's just seen his first Tenni. Surely it can't have been Lex? Must have been BadJaap?

Why didn't you say that in the first place? My tip is judicious use of an elegant headband. Hehe. There's hours of fun in this one...

Re. eccentric screw: But it's in the wrong place (as far as I can see). I think that the piece you found might be the roll pin that could have dropped out when the case was taken apart. In your photo, the spring seems to be in place ok and therefore, presumably, not broken. Can you post a photo of the spring and/or the piece that you found? I had added this edit note to my previous post, but you might not have seen it as it's on the previous page (on my browser anyway): "Another Edit: actually, sorry, it probably is broken. In the photo it looked like it is still in place but there is only one turn showing in the coil. Did the hooked end break off?"

I wondered that, but does anyone actually know? My bike is 2002 and it doesn't have those changes which are really 2003/04, aren't they? If I hadn't read this thread I would (when I get around to doing this) have followed MG's instruction and used 465 – seems that could be wrong?

There is info somewhere about setting the eccentric adjuster. (Posted about a month ago?) But hang on – are you sure that you have the parts in the right positions? In the photo, is that the eccentric adjuster, sitting there? Perhaps back to front? Surely that is where the roll pin goes? It is a stop for the pawl arm. You also need to get those two big toothed rings in exactly the right position – the right relationship to each other, when you put it all back together. Check the F.A.Q. for more info. I'm a bit confused by your photo. Check this thread, which has a photo and the exploded diagram in it. Check here Edit: Yes, I think that's the eccentric screw that you must have screwed the lock-nut off and then screwed it right out of the casing. That end should be on th eoutside of the case. Do you still have the little roll-pin? Are you sure the spring is broken? It looks like it could be ok? Another Edit: actually, sorry, it probably is broken. In the photo it looked like it is still in place but there is only one turn showing in the coil. Did the hooked end break off?

...feet?

Why are the settings different? What changed for 2002? What does MY mean or stand for? (as in V.11 MY 2001or V.11 MY 2002/2003) Thanks...

This is the Scura effect: 'On direct examination Dr. Scura testified that "from the time sequencing and the resultant symptoms it seems like there was a cause and effect relationship" between the claimant's TMJ pain and the noise he heard when the automobile passed him on the road. Dr. Scura testified that it was not the noise itself that caused the claimant's injury, but rather the claimant's quick neck movement in response to the noise.' – APPEAL OF WINFORD A. CHICKERING, JR. (New Hampshire Compensation Appeals Board) It's now used to describe the odd way that Tenni riders hold their heads, after neck injuries sustained when Scuras pass them on the road.

Yes, Ireland is, geographically, part of the British Isles. The Republic is not part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. My experience in trying to deal with mail order from England is that although companies bill themselves as being 'THE BEST [whatever] in the UK!!', some of them actually mean England and they have refused to sell to / deliver to N.I. :!: After complaining to one major company, they changed their advertising (could have been coincidence) from being 'the best... in the U.K.' to 'the best... in the Nation.' Nation?

It takes a long time to get served here – but that must be ridiculous!

Ok, you posted that just in time as I was about to refund your club membership.

Yes, mine are well worn after 6K while the fronts are still as good as a new pair of EBCs! That surprised me. The EBCs don't have the vertical grooves cut in the front pads: how do the Ferodos compare with the originals? EBC were £50 for front & rear. Didn't price Brembo as there is nowhere to walk in and buy them, but I assumed they'd be a lot more expensive. Ferodo (premium?)?

I think Baldini & maybe some others posted the UK contact/mail order address here before. Do a search and it should turn up. I'm waiting to see if they have a stand at the local bike show, though I didn't see them last year. It must be a few years since they came over here.

More power this time :!: Seems to be a 1200 here's the blurb Adesso che si è definitivamente svegliata, la Guzzi non perde un colpo. Dopo Breva e Griso a Milano vedremo la Norge, nome storico per una turistica a tutto tondo. Motore 1200, carenatura integrale e una dotazione completissima per rientrare a testa alta nel segmento delle granturismo. Per ora una foto e poco più, ma questa Guzzi Norge è senz’altro destinata a riscaldare non poco il cuore dei Guzzisti amanti dei grandi viaggi. Una moto che in tanti aspettavano da tempo, dopo che una fantomatica GT si era affacciata all’Intermot del 2000 per poi sparire nel nulla. Un’epoca lontana per Moto Guzzi che ultimamente si è abituata a mantenere ciò che promette. Non a caso il debutto su strada della nuova Guzzi che vedremo all'Eicma è annunciato per Marzo 2006. Intanto il nome: Norge. È lo stesso della Guzzi che nel 1928 compì una autentica impresa partendo da Mandello per raggiungere Capo Nord, una avventura epica per il tempo. Nome beneaugurante, quindi, che la Norge condisce con una linea moderna e piacevole e un bella dose sostanza. Non è una Breva rivestita, perchè la Norge cambia tutto e cambia anche nella cilindrata. Il bicilindrico a V di 90 con raffreddamento ad aria cresce fino a raggiungere i 1200 cc e quindi dovrebbe anche aver migliorato le sue prestazioni. Di serie ABS, borse e regolazione elettrica del parabrezza. La Norge sarà presentata ufficialmente il 15 Novembre all’Eicma, dopo quella data saremo in grado di darvi ulteriori notizie. Now that definitively it has been waked up, the Guzzi does not lose a blow. After Breva and Griso to Milan we will see the Norge, historical name for one tourist to all round. Motor 1200, integral fairing and one the most complete equipment in order to re-enter to high head in the segment of the granturismo. For hour a photo and little more, but this Guzzi Norge is senz' other destined one to not little heat the loving heart of the Guzzisti of the great travels. A motion that in many they for a long time waited for, after that one fantomatica GT had shown oneself to the Intermot of 2000 in order then to disappear in the null one. A far age for Guzzi Motion that lately has been become accustomed to maintain that that it promises. To case the debut on road of the Guzzi new that we will see to the Eicma is not announced for March 2006. While the name: Norge. It is the same one of the Guzzi that in 1928 compì one authentic enterprise leaving from Mandello in order to catch up Head North, one epica adventure for the time. Beneaugurante name, therefore, than the Norge it flavors with one modern and pleasant line and a beautiful dose substance. It is not a covered Breva, why the Norge changes all and changes also in the piston displacement. The bicylindrical one to V of 90 with cooling to air grows until catching up i 1200 cc and therefore it must also have improved its performances. Of series ABS, ags and regulation electrical worker of the windshield. The Norge will officially be introduced 15 November to the Eicma, after that date will be in a position to gives ulterior news to you.

quote=Van, Very cool mug!! > Scurateers take their coffee HOT – real/proper style. Not cooled down & watered down like... well, let's not mention it... how can l get one?? > Go to Soren T's house (preferably when he's out) we'll have to come up with something like that for Canada l see! > Why would Canadians want a mug that says MG Club Denmark on it? Note to Scurista's: notice the colour of this very cool mug, ...no black!! > Yeah but check out the colour of the real/proper thing: the espresso machine:

ah, right, thanks. The EBC are only about 4mm the Brembos are probably 6mm too then

I see the photo link didn't stick EDIT I see it's back. What's going on?

Does anyone happen to know what thickness the OE front brake pads are, new? I needed new rear pads and bought a complete new set of EBC pads. I'm interested that the original front pads, with 6,000 miles of wear, are still as thick as the brand new EBC Double H pads.

Steepest road in Northern Europe apparently. Pity we can't see the road. Anyone been there or seen pictures? It's in the Naeroyvalley

You Danishmen

Exactly what I thought too, but I have found that nothing works to stop the misting. Thoroughly drying it out, drilling holes... it still mists. see here for more info However Jaap has said that it worked for his clock, so
