    OHLINS

    in Technical Topics

    Posted

    Hi all, my V11 Cafe Sport 2004, with only 5000 miles on the clock, the front forks/ ohlins are already knackered. Front forks right side was leaking oil, oil seals were replaced under warranty march 2006. Covered 200 miles by June 2006, they were leaking again.Since June 2006 the rear shock is leaking oil and knocking so bad unable to ride bike. It has taken Moto Guzzi 6 weeks to authorise replacement of front forks/ohlins, and rear shock absorber. Now August, and my main dealer still has not received parts (whole of Italy shut down for summer)!!!!!. One of the best summers in UK and I have not been able to ride my bike!!!!!!!!

    WILL I BUY ANOTHER GUZZI........? NOT ON YOUR LIFE!!!!

    GOT 10K TO SPEND ON A TOURER, BUT WHEN YOU BUY A TOURER YOU NEED GOOD BACK UP I.E PARTS, EFFICIENCY etc, FROM THE DEALERS, AND THAT IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE MANUFACTURER, SO NOW WILL ONLY CONSIDER BUYING BMW, OR HONDA, WILL IT BE THE NEW 'NORGE' NEVER!!! NEVER!!!! NEVER!!!!!!. IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE DEPRECIATION, I'D SELL THE BLOODY BIKE!!! IT COST£8500. FROM NEW AND I'VE SPENT £££££ ON IT, AND IT LOOKS STUNNING, BUT CANNOT USE IT!!!!!!

    Stripped mine down last weekend, to find that both sides appear to move. The Right side can (viewed from on top of the bike) has moved BACK about 6mm (1/4") to leave a very big mark near the top of the oval shape where the two sides of the strap meet to connect to the hanger.

     

    The left side has moved less: the markin has only occurred UNDER the straps.

     

    I've dressed all the edges, and tried to put self adhesive carbon weave under the top of the straps to create some clearence now, but would really appreciate some advice.

     

    could the movment be thermal expansion?

    Anyone got a 04-05 Cafe Sport? A mate of mine is thinking of getting one. Is it worth the extra for the suspension? Any problems?

    Cheers,

    Ross. :mg:
