Is there a club here in SF Bay Area I can join?

2002 LeMans

[Taming the V11 bar Vibrations]

I am thinking about installing the ConvertiBars on my LeMans. Has anyone ever tried them?[url=http://www.convertibars.com

[For pre-'03 V11 owners]

Ok, my 2002 LeMans would start but would not run for more than 2 minutes, acting as if were flooded. This was in about 72 degree weather and after about a 20 mile easy ride and a ten minute break. I popped the fuel cap thinking the vent was clogged but it didn't help. The bike acted exactly like my 78 R100S if you left the choke on, no power and eventully died. After about 20 minutes the bike started and ran normally. Is this vapor lock? I called the dealer and he told me he thought it was a cracked stator, it seems this has some to several Guzzis in his shop. It seems more like running out of fuel than electrical to me though. I thought my fuel pump on my 2002 is IN the tank, at least thats what the dealer told me for the reason for the 700 dollar tune up bill.

Any ideas for a new Guzzi owner? If I can't trust it I'm selling it!

Hi everyone. I just bought a 2002 LeMans, I love it. The Bmws sit unused in the garage. I live in Pinole, Cal.

I'll try to find events or meetings to attend in my area.

[MPG?]

My 2002 LeMans seems to get exactly the same mpg as my 1150 GS. 35 mpg.

 

[What V11 do you ride?]

Just bought a used 2002 LeMans. A great bike! It has the factory cannisters and chip plus a Corbin Gel seat. The PO broke it in real nice, no vibration to speak of and very fast. Thanks Moto Guzzi for my type of bike!
