Steve Swan Posted September 29 Posted September 29 (edited) Hi Everyone! i am happy to be a member of this forum for this wonderful Moto Guzzi model. i took delivery of this '02 Le Mans i purchased off ebay that came with all the goodies i hoped to find, Throttlemeister, MotoBits, Givi and more. I've been with Guzzi's since 2007, i have a 2011 V7R and sold my '09 CalVin last year, and am glad i found this Le Mans. I'm looking forward to participating with you guys, have been mostly reading topics, but will be more active. Here's a couple pics of my bike. It's been a bit neglected, but nothing that some attention can't make right. Right now, i'm changing fluids, it will need a new set of tires and i'm thinking i'm going to purchase a full Mistral exhaust system. PS. my apologies, this intro should have been posted in "Introductions." Edited September 30 by Steve Swan 9
gstallons Posted September 30 Posted September 30 You're fine . Ride it , work on it and enjoy it ! 1
KINDOY2 Posted September 30 Posted September 30 (edited) IMHO...#1 Get some good tires #2 Learn how to do docc's complete "Decent tune up" ( do the whole thing carefully..its not hard if you get a few simple tools) and you will really love your bike. All the rest you can do as you go and learn about it. Edited September 30 by KINDOY2 4
gstallons Posted September 30 Posted September 30 BTW , tires are like BBQ sauce . Everyone has different tastes . You can get 100 opinions and when it is said and done , you will have to decide for yourself ! 3 1

You can get 100 opinions and when it is said and done , you will have to decide for yourself ! Having followed myriad tire (and oil) threads on the interwebs, and on tarmacs, I would venture some consensus: 1) Tires (and oil) are good! 2) Fresh tires (and oil) are ALWAYS better than worn out tires (and oil). 3) Change tires (and oil). Ride & repeat. 2 2

My V11 is equipped with Michelin Road 6; My Quota with Dunlop Trailmax Mission. The biggest challenge seems to be availability. My initial choice for the Quota was different, but I had to settle for what could be made available within the time frame I had. The Michelin Road 6 were also hard to get. I am not recommending any brand, as said above, we all have our opinion. Here's a topic which may help to confuse more: 1
