guzzi jon

I'm the goon trying to set my TPS before a dyno link session tomorrow. Couldn't get the torx screws loose, but it's at 180mv versus the required 150 mv with the linkage disconnected and the idle screw backed out on the right side, seems about the same running or not running. As long as I keep the 180 mv baseline, should I expect other issues after dyno linking? Cheers, Jon 02 Lemans

Build your fleet, more = better. I've got three guzzi's, 72 Eldo, 02 Cali SS (setup for touring), 02 V11 Lemans & 00 Kawasaki ZX-9R, makes riding even better. Stock up!

Just a small group made it, but there are some fantastic twisty roads in Mexico, no problems and very little traffic. Alas, our mission to tour the Tecate brewery was not to be, but it was a great ride... http://www.socal-guzzi.com/PHPBB/viewtopic...031490b05855885

Enzo, Regarding the Tomohawk colorful tires, they are an FAA certified repair station and they provide tires for jets that have to survive 200+ mph landings. I've not ridden them, but a number of folks I have ridden with have. They are not exactly retreads, they may strip down a high dollar carcass and put their rubber compounds on it, but they are not the retreads we all used in the 70's. Again, not a supporter or detractor of these suckers, but have also read fair comments in the magazines, and suggest you look for yourself. Likely not as good as a Dunlop Qualifier, but better than a Cheng Shin..

I'm cross posting from the So Cal forum and WG. A small group of us So Cal Guzzisti are riding to Mexico from Los Angeles Friday, hitting Ensenada and Tecate along with other festivities. If you're in So Cal or near by, and into an adventure, check the link out. We're leaving AM friday. Sorry for the late post, but I wanted to see if any folks over here were interested.

Mid-90's I lived in Puerto Rico for a few years, they had a local brew that was crisp and lively, in the little 7oz cans, but was my favorite --- Medalla--

Todd Egans buddies with those guys, I think he's been preachin Guzzi to em for so long they're starting to get it....

I've got 153,000 miles on my 72 Eldo and it's just getting broken in

I tried to take a pic of my Lemans... camera was on GIF, hurts to look

Thought this may be of interest over here.. http://wildguzzi.com/forum/index.php?topic=4254.0 http://www.craigslist.org/eby/mcy/161687708.html

Hi again, During spirited riding, I notice that my 02 Lemans is fairly flat between 4-6K, it has mistrals, a serial PCIII and a down loaded map. I'm planning on tuning it up well, then having Louie and L&L dynolink a custom map. I've seen comment on this forum regarding a crossover filling in the flatness in the mid rpm range. Can you folks recommend a source for a crossover? Are airbox mods standard as well? Need to do all the mods I'm going to do before the mapping session. Again, thanks for any input. Cheers, Jon

Thanks, I've got two nice magnetic bags, which I much prefer, guess it's a strap on for me (that doesn't sound right) Jon

Hi again, I've put about 500 miles on my new 02 Lemans, love that sucker, sure is purty too... But I dont have any storage space for my traveling goods. Any recommendations on a smallish tank bag for the lemans, and perhaps the provider of choice? I appreciate your input. Cheers, Jon

I took my new Lemans out to the Santa Monica mountains for a sound thrashing today. I must admit, by the time I returned home I was quite impressed. Initially, I was underwhelmed by the style of handling, I'm more used to my Cal SS and Kawasaki ZX-9R, both of which are set up to turn in easily, but once I loosened up and really pushed the countersteering, I was really jazzed. Over Encinal canyon and Mullholland highway as well as stunt road and Piuma, it blazed. The more aggressive the inputs, the better the handling. I am very pleased so far and look forward to pulling even better handling out of it! Great bike....

Thanks for the input, I'll certainly by setting up the suspension. I'm, er, big boned, so the front springs seem a bit soft from my first ride. I'll be spending a bit of time with Todd Egan to get his input on dialing in the suspension. On my Cali SS, I've got nicely sorted Wilburs and a dialed front end, so I can really appreciate the benefits of a sorted and balanced suspension. I'll be setting the sag tomorrow, then playing a bit with the damping, but I suspect a bit of time with Todd will yield good results. Thanks again! Cheers, Jon

Thanks, looks quite straight forward. I'll just do it. cheers, Jon

He did have the engine cases swapped for the bubbling paint, but did not have the pawl spring addressed. I've heard this is a relatively simple fix, as a spiney rookie, is there info on this that I could digest. I do most guzzi work myself, but have zero experience with the Lemans. Anything in common with the California's is easy, valves, etc. Rather than impose on you folks right away, I will digest what you have historically, as well as lean heavily on Pete Roper... I have a picture of him in a compromising picture with a "little person" and his ubiquitous rubber chicken, that should get me some consultation gratis... Thanks again for any info. Cheers, Jon

My tonti is too new, but I do have a nice loop to post.... 72 Eldo 153K miles, runs great

Hi, This is my first post to this forum, I've lurked here before to gain info, but did not have a guzzi that fit the bill. Today, I picked up a gorgeous 02 Lemans from a kind gent who I suspect is a regular here. It has 11,000 miles on it and is quite pristeen. He's done a great job at maintenance, but is there anything I should look after. I'm a long time guzzi rider, but always on loops and california's, this is my first spiney. I took it through the canyons today and was very pleased, what a wonderful bike. Any advice or input is truly appreciated! Best regards, Jon
