  1. yes it is.. for downshifting it helps to load the lever then blip the throttle, it will slip right through the neutral space between 2nd & 3rd.
  2. this event has gone on in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA for the past 61 years! 50 plus miles, 27f this year.
  3. agreed/ the comfort obtained might make up for that?
  4. New Years day, 50+ miles, 27F the I-cycle derby going on now for 61 years!
  5. toggle that kill switch a little.. if the relays are Seimens I would scrap them right now.. get replacements from dpguzzi.com. if not the battery could it be the SS switch or kill switch? I don't think the motor would turn over if they failed? did someone close the fuel tap?
  6. I believe the odometer knob is a reverse (left hand) thread.
  7. If I wanted to carry a spare, do you have the part number? my dealer was not concerned when I asked about it.. I have 11,000+ miles now.
  8. I thought that muffler was out of production and unavailable?
  9. can you get your money back? the HeliBar co is right here in St Paul, MN... if you bought them, I could send them via USPS for about 40.00 for you. http://www.convertibars.com/ProductsBike.c...Next+Step!+
  10. On my 02 Lemans... anyone with experience putting the Centauro pegs on a V11? looks like the brake pedal will transfer over but do I need a longer tie rod to the pump? and what did you do about the shift lever? thx
  11. if the cam update was not done by a good mechanic there can be major problems down the road, I hear... it's discussed here: http://wildguzzi.com/forum/index.php?topic=22436.0 note: those bikes have cheap steel wheels, not tubeless. offer 3grand and leave your fone #.
  12. I have a friend who made these, I think he would make more for about $200.
  13. you need to go here, http://www.centauro-owners.com/index2.html
  14. I have Nextel for my work phone (sprint?) reception is crap... if you get out of town off the freeway by 30 miles, say headed to so Dakota or no Minnesota THERE IS NO SIGNAL! my company is so stupid! we need good communication nationwide and don't have it.. In those cases i end up using my personal Verizon which works EVERYWHERE! but I'm not under contract w/them- keeps em nervous that I might switch. I do like the Iphone and may go there someday. You can buy the phone itself somewhere like CL or ebay and save some money but be sure the phone is for your network.
  15. hers another game http://thedogpaddler.com/RandomUploads/Ball/ball.htm
  16. Hello, can you see me now? I can't see you.

    Hey all

    You can't be more than about 80 miles from one of the most honest and respected in the Guzzi world... call Jim at Ned's Moto Guzzi in Riverside Iowa SEE what he's got and He prices stuff RIGHT! Do it quick before they get rubbed out by Piaggio.
  18. you could keep it HERE in the American heartland (minneapolis) and be ready to ride the USA... I'd have to keep her in shape for you tho.
  19. Greg, you mean they haven't fixed that PR seal problem yet? do they still put those crappy plastic cone seals in at the factory? I thought when I finally graduated to a spine frame I'd have left those problems behind. is there an O-ring fix for the 6 speed?
  20. I don't think the 15m CPU (under left side cover) has a trouble code light and that might be what you have.. the p8CPU from the '98 EV has said code light under the left side cover or under the seat near the CPU that rides under the passenger seat. the 15m CPU needs a computer connection to read faults etc. the plug you refer to would then go to the computer that has the vdst software.
  21. If it's gear oil from the tranny it will have a distinct smell and should be easy to identify. what are the symptoms that make you think the clutch is gone?
  22. you haven't really experienced it until heard through headphones on acid while skipping high school. did you know he plays a right handed guitar left handed? If you ever get to Seattle be sure to visit the "Experience Music Project" near the space needle. It's also the Jimi Hendrix museum... There is a 2 story sculpture made of instruments that actually play music... it's far out man, Groovy!
