Of course. Obvious, really...

One has to be good for something in life, doesn't one?

Good luck.

Oh, so something like "coathanger weather"?

This thread is really old, but someone was reading it. I got curious and looked at it, and have to answer. First of all, since no-one has explained it, it was probably a play on words. Dyke= an embankment that holds back water. I gather the Netherlands have one or two of them. Back on topic: Yamaha Virago, particularly the 535. The Suzuki Intruder has already been mentioned. I hardly dare mention the Kawasaki Eliminator series, as I otherwise quite like Kawasaki bikes. I could go on, but if I did, I wouldn't be able to avoid mentioning a Hardly Driveable model or two, and that might offend someone, so I wont.

What's one of those?

At that temperature, working in the garage is possible, and going for a ride is a good option as long as it is not raining. That's probably because I ride a long-frame Le Mans, and not one of those girl's-blouse short-red-frame things.

On account of being brilliant (no comparison to @docc though...), I found the post in question. note also my comment two posts down:

It's a couple of years back now, but if I remember correctly, the experts I watched setting up a Greenie went at that part of the rev range by adjusting the CO trim. I'll see if I can find my post. No idea where it was....

@v11_meticcio I had to ask DeepL what you wrote. It said Yes, it happens.

Look at it this way: you got the bike cheap, so you've got some room to spend a bit on getting it how you want it. Good luck with your search. PS: welcome to the forum.

I can't say I've noticed that, but you could have a look at what @Lucky Phil wrote here. I haven't done it (yet), but it all seems plausible to me. I've got all the bits. Just waiting for the round tuit.

If that is still worrying you, I'd suggest you go and listen to a Ducati with a super-trick carbon fibre open clutch cover. After that, you will never, ever worry about the rattly noises from a Guzzi clutch. Think very, very hard about which of your mates have a big garage and owe you a favour.

What? They're out of round? I'm shocked and dismayed!!!

These ones, maybe? https://www.ebay.com/itm/200735527568?_skw=v11+moto+guzzi&itmmeta=01JXKB0WGJ5M5Z36VB4VZ1JZPQ&hash=item2ebcc51290:g:lmAAAOxyqKVRhIZ1
