Waiting on my unis from Montreal, but there's still plenty to do.

There are two or 3 types v11 Marzocchi forks, Andreani has cartridges for one type, I think the black ones with 40mm legs. But they sell them as for all years what is wrong. Lucky Phil has put a lot of time in this. I'm sure he documented some here.

hello evryone , thanks all for your help , managed to fix the problem with some adjusting of the gear shifter . Thnaks again

...archaic mechanics... too funny. I'm rather fond of my Stelvio. Took it out and rode it like a sport bike last weekend. No protest whatsoever. Brought home 25 pounds of oranges.

81 le Mans ready, waiting for some weather. Lesson learned about greasing my splines. Did it take long before 1000S was checked, NO. All good to thou, cleaning and Staburags. Cheers Tom. Sent fra min SM-S906B via Tapatalk

Recent events here reveal how critical a forum's stewardship (plus diligence, persistence, expertise, and determination) [are] to preserving a forum. Jaap continues to stand over our flock by the gate. Glad to hear that Pete's persistence has paid off for the Griso community!

There were some enterprising photographers taking photos of passing bikes on the highly entertaining roads around Rutland on last Sunday’s ride out. They post & sell the pics on their website

decided to go with later Ballabio style fairing/instrument mount. this won't work. and I could not paint over the cf there is one small crack on the windscreen, there are no other major scuffs or scratches I bought it from Guzzi Tech, included is the mounting hardware. I haven't opened it, what's there is there. $400 US plus shipping. let me know if you want more pics, whatever thank you!

When you think that he got into the Guzzi Stelvio only because they lent one to him while fixing his main bike. It was love at first gear change, still going strong today....

That guy did not understand the difference between being whimsical and having character....

cold air without snow - always great fun with the V11

Unfortunately, it is in French, there are subtitles but no translation from google. But this is the kind of "lived" story that I like. This is a passionate tell tale about a Moto Guzzi Stelvio. The Guzzi Stelvio is going strong once he got the few early Stelvio known issues taken care of.

Yeah, that's it. I remember now . . .

Reminds me of . . . IDK . . . something . . .

Ok, so maybe I like it because I can't have it . . .

While 1999 V11 Sport are known in Europe, I am not sure we have verified any V11 Sport in the USA until the 2000 year model. Also, I wonder if the V11 only lingered into 2005 in Europe while US V11 ended with 2004. For instance, I don't think we have ever seen a (delicious) 2005 Scura R in The States . . .

I dare say it'll have more torque than standard, but not neccesarily a great deal more peak power. They seem to go looking for torque at Dynotec, for instance here: https://www.dynotec.de/modelle/Stelvio 1200 4V.html This is what the text next to the graph says: I gather that is for a 2V / cylinder Motor, but a quick look around the site reveals a trend towards "two-stage" tuning, with the first stage concentrating on torque, see also the pages for the 1200 Sport and the Quota. https://www.dynotec.de/modelle/1200 Sport _ Norge _ Griso.html https://www.dynotec.de/modelle/Moto Guzzi Quota 1100 ES.html Like most tuning places, "tricked up by Dynotec" doesn't have to mean they have gone the whole hog. It might just mean they have made it run the way it should as opposed to the way it left the production line.

So *about* 100RWHP, just like any correctly mapped and tuned 8V makes.

Al, after all those Guzzi years, you have never found out that the USA gets bikes one year late? The le mans was delivered here in 2001, I had one too, where I got my gearbox of for the Daytona. It's not only Guzzi that come late to the USA, Aprilia too.

Thanks footgoose. I'm there every day when home . It's 143square m, still rom for,, Cheers Tom.

It seems to be pretty easy to find here. A quick internet search brought about 10 hits. If it gets too hard, I could get you a couple of feet and send it over.

In the US you can get it from Wallmart and Amazon. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Fuel-Line-Fuel-Hose-Rubber-12mm-I-D-1-8M-5-9FT-Diesel-Petrol-Hose-Engine-Pipe-Tubing-with-4-Clamps/968680103

I wanted to go back through the captions and count how many times he said, "I can't explain" . . . Of course, we are all nodding in agreement as he says this.

Nice toys, Tom..

Indeed. A bloke might almost get a wee bit jealous looking at photos like that. That tin on the bench with the handlebar clamps on it, I've got one of those. It was a birthday present last year. I use it to store the good chocolate.

Your shop! what a marvel. How can you ever leave it?

The true Luddites choice in horology.......

Down to the wire, then @cash1000! Considering where you have been with this project over the last three months, I would say, "You've got this!" While many of us could swap out that fuel line (and keep it short enough to groom up and away from the cylinder head heat), I realize that later fuel pumps might be mounted above the spine which would require the tank removal. I reckon this is your case?

Skip, I only live two hours away so I can ride some Sunday, head home in the afternoon.

Didn't Fred Flintstone have a simliar watch? Not as snazzy but the same style.

clocks were created for appointments if you asked the universe what time it was, it would reply "now"

Somebody just posted this on WildGuzzi, and I thought it would be interesting here too. I didn't know the MGS01 used a 6-speed transmission "modified" from a V11.
