    Left side tire were is normal where we drive on the right side of the road. It also indicates a lot of city riding.

    So, with the wheels off for new rubber you'll have the opportunity to check/replace wheel bearings, replace if necessary, and lube the 'hard to get to' front u-joint.

    Could be an illusion but it looks like he didn't get around to brake fluid flush and fill either. If it's old fluid, our clutches respond noticeably well to new clean fluid.

    She looks great.. and happy ...like a good dog who's found her furever home:P

    New fluids all the way around and basic maintenance/adjustments this weekend.

  3. I've had her for around 4 days and 200 miles now, tweaking the suspension but she is doing well.

    Apparently she was the last bike he bought and he didn't get around to adding anything special to it. The front tire was worn severely on the left side, checked and found the steering head bearings to be loose and the forks out of line. Tightened and straightened that up and she tracks well now.

    I want to drop the foot pegs an inch and back a little. Possibly lower the front a 1/4 inch or so to see if it make it a little quicker to turn in.

    Gotta love all that torque :D

    Great to hear this and welcome to the forum, Randy!   We will all be waiting to hear how you like it!  Congrats on a great buy.

    I wish I could say it is a new Coppa to the forum but it isn't. It is #9 diverdoggy  - Raleigh, NC from the Coppa Italia list. 2nd Guzzi in the stable after my wife's V7 Stone.
