Me to Pete

24000 km aint had that problem yet.and don't want it. good luck with the repair.Gilly

Hello people, Shame i can't read the link. Has anyone tried both the z6's and the pilot powers or pilot roads on the same bike?is there a big difference.I might try the z6's next time from the big RAP you fellows are giving them.

Hi again Pete Funny you mention that, when I had an off myself, I did a bit of work on it to get it back on the road,{While I waited 6 to 12 months for parts} just cosmetic,mirrors and crap like that,the tail got cracked .I stripped it back with paint stripper and there was about 700 {7} coats of paint. As for suspension there is a wobble @ 190kmh that I am going to solve one day,but I don't use that speed very often , just knowing it's there, and not right, is a bit of a worry.If you have any suggestions, I'm open to them. Thanks for the info. GILLY

Hi Pete,Nice to have someone with experience on both motors ,thats just what I was told,someones opinion. but those were the chain of events that happened.I didn't put new valves in because the K Line guy did not say they were required.I personaly think thats where it all went wrong. As for the above valve stem length,angle of valves,oil feed position ect,doe's this make them that different.wouldn't the Guzzi still blow smoke when backing off if the valves or guides were on there way out. Anyway, my Scura is from down your way you may know the bike,I bought it at Geco with 4000km great machine. cheers Gilly ps I reading your info on here Pete and all the others to, keep up the good work

CHEERS

BEAUTIFUL

Good stuff GILLY

She would'nt through oil everywhere like Miss Rapter. Gilly

Ha Rich I ride with Rosso M some times, same cluch but mine makes heeps more noise. has'nt got any worse sinse near new to 21000 km Gilly

Hay Nog My box is exactly the same, may be the oil,I use full synthetic Fuchs. May change to Redline hd if I can get hold of some here down under. cheers all,GILLY

I got a couple of nice shots to. That would be Mr Forrest on the right.

Young guns, I don't think they'll get hot, Gilly

You'll be sorry,Next doors got a XB1200R,36000 KM 6 belts @ $450 AU a pop.Mose well buy a Duke. Cheers Gilly.

#3: Hemi head. Hemi's are great when you have 4v heads w/ a central sparkplug & great intake tract design for good mixing. They bite when dealing w/ 2v heads with their offset plugs, large valves, and not-so-great intake tracts that don't flow & fill as well as they might... The dual-plugging of the latest iteration of the Guzzi big-block is just a band-aid for this antiquated hemi-head design. Ride on! 74118[/snapback] I agree,but dual plugging seems to fix all these problems on old 2valve motors.of corse it wont hurt either

(you know the bit that fals of after 20km and requires you to take the lens of) Ha Jasper .I Tig welded my gismo reflecty thingy back on. Gilly PS and thats Mr Forrest on the right, a frequent lurker and pest that lives up the road.

Good thinking Belfast,might do the same to mine.I just took the rubber thingys off the other day,can't tell the diff around town but will go for good ride on Sunday in our local twisties,might even cut the back of that box like you did. Gilly

I don't know about that, We got a few fattys down here too. cheers Gilly

Good on you JRT. Keep up the good work Gilly

Hi Alex. Good luck with the v11, I'm sure you,ll love it as we all do. in time you might be able to ride it just as quick as the others. Gilly.

Also buy chain and sprocket kit, My mate next door has 30,000km=6 belts.Kind of costly but you'll have fun.

Ha Muz Do I detect a few scratches.Should have fixed them up before you stuck that thing on this site, remember.eg.to recall to the mind by an act or effort of memory.not so long ago.

20000km on mine. A new gear box @ 7000km cause i blew the other one up,they thought it was just the pawl spring but 4th gear and a couple of dogs were laying in the bottom of the box.They covered it under warranty bless there little souls. enjoy the thing and ride the wheels off it and you wont have any problems Gilly

The two dildo's under the cylinder head.
