Been having trouble with poor pedal feel and stopping power. Replaced the rear pads, they were due. No improvement. Finally lost all breaking. The damn bleed screw feel out. What caliper does the Ballabio have? I couldn't find the Brembo caliper numer. Anyone know what size bleed screw the caliper take?? This is starting to aggravate me!!!

2004 Ballabio. The plastic around the temp sensor has broken off, and there is nothing for the socket to grip. At this point it looks like I may have to remove the head in order to remove it. The only thing to get a hold of is a round metal thing sticking up in the hole. I'm open to suggestions here.

I have an 07 Norge that I have been fighting the blow by vent leakage.http://www.harpermoto.com/cover-grey-976098.html I have replaced the O ring (part 39) , the plastic housing, (part 18) http://www.harpermoto.com/raccordo-sfiato-blow-by-05007230.html and the vent tube. I am still getting oil all over the the block from the leakage. My next move is to use some The Right Stuff and make a silicon gasket. Has anyone used The Right Stuff before, and if you have how did it work for you?? http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Permatex-4-oz-automatic-tube-the-Right-Stuff-gasket-maker/_/N-25y8?itemIdentifier=82550_0_0_ I am at wits end trying to gert this thing to stop leaking. It is making a mess out of my bike to say the least. any helpful suggestions are welcome.

I think it is still a "real " Norge. A nicely modified one albeit. I thought you were/did paint the chrome wings black. It appears you left them chrome. Wonder how they would look color matched to the silver. I have an 07 Norge that I am chasing a oil leak from the blow by vent. That tupperware is a PIA, so I'm taking it off until I get that resolved. Very nice work on that Norge.

I just want to say thank, you, Bravo Zulu, to Jaap for having this forum, and especially to dlaing for his piece on setting the TPS, and balancing the TB's. I have been trying to set the TPS and TB's on my 04 Ballabio. I am using Guzzi Diag, and I am closing in on getting it done. Working 80-90 hours a week though doesn't leave a whole lot of time to get it done. I am hoping to finish it up tonight. Again, thank you to Jaap and dlaing for this site and all the how to information available on it.

Will this also work on the Fox Kit ECU's?? My Ballabio has this ECU, and no one seems to know anything about making changes in it. Thanks.

I believe they are Stuchhi crossover and cans. The cans are carbon fiber, and I love the sound. Not loud but meaty.

I like the sound, so I dont wear ear plugs. Those rattlen valves are music to my ears. 8)

I got her done,washed her, and test rode her. Bit noiser valve train than before, but she was incredeably tight when I started. When I took the valve covers off the gaskets tore of course. It's Sunday, where will I get the gaskets today? Went to my cabinet and looked, I had 4! gaskets for her!! It's a good day tator!! Thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate it. BTW, the bike in question is the one in my avatar. Yup, she's a runner and a keeper.

LOL, I knows what you mean. I'm having a hellava time finding the D on the fly wheel. I found something that looks like a U laying on its side with the opening on the left, and then a line of yellow paint elsewhere on the fly wheel. Having a helleva time getting this VA done.

That explains the 6,8 and 20, 22 memory problem!! LOL Bikes?? Well, 07 Norge, 98 Centauros X2 82 Eldo I'm the second owner of it. 04 Ballabio 96 Cali 1100 Cab 98 EV Black/ Silver 99 EV Blue/Blue Plus a 82 Honda CB 900 C with the 10 speed transmisson, 80 CB 650 for training, a 07 Victory Vegas and an 09 Kawi Vulcan 900 SE.

Thanks. I thought .006 and .008 was right, but then for some reason I was thinking it was .020 and .022. The setting is the same as Cali 1100s then also. Thanks

Crainial flatulance time guys. I can't remeber the valve specs, world, for 2004 Ballabio. Anyone here that can take a minute and help break this brain lock?? Sucks to get old and lose your memory. Sucks to get old and lose your memorty.

04 Ballabio with Red Line Hy Shock in tranny case. Went for a long spirited ride then 25 miles of 65-70 mph travel. Got into town, fueled and cruising through town the shift lever stuck in the down position after shifting in to 1st gear, 3 times in a row. Then for the next 100 plus miles didn't do it again. Since most Moto Guzzi do not have the self heal function on them, what happened, what should I check? Lube level is good in the box. Half way up the sight glass.
