Hi all. Looking to sell my LeMans. $4500. Details and pics can be found on Ashville NC Craigslist.

Hi all. Trying to make a big life change, so I need to sell a bike. It is advertised in the Asheville NC Craigslist for $5300, but will take $5000 for forum members with everything included. May end up breaking up accessories and selling the bike in stock form , but I hate to do that as it is a great package.

Just looked at the jar of glue. It's actualy medium ABS cement from the plumbing section at Lowe's.

Have done the cases on both of my bikes. Aircraft Remover from the auto paint section in walmart and harley texture black from the dealer work really well. The aircraft remover is in a spray can, so mask the timing chest, cylinders, trans, and oil pan really well. Use a wire brush about tooth brush size and water hose to get the old paint off. Let it dry over night and re-mask if needed before paint. Also cover all body panels with old towels or sheets as the paint spray can travel with the breeze.

#1. Start buy looking at 2003 and 2004 models. Lot less quirks to fix or deal with.

Dropped my red bike in the back yard a year or two ago. Cracked at the mirror mount. Used fiber glass cloth and medium epoxy resin from Lowe's on the inside and covered the outside with a little clear coat to keep the paint from peeling and a pin stripe. Has held for 5000 or so miles.

I noticed that the reaction rod on my gold bike was pretty bad off yesterday when I compared it to the one on the red bike. The bushing is pretty gnarled up and there was noticeable play in the rod and rear drive. After looking to get a repacement, I decided to just swap the two for now as I ride the gold one more and am in the middle of re-freshing the engine block on the red one. To my surprise when I tightened the mounting bolts at the frame before swaping to parts, the play disappeared. I guess my question becomes, do I really need to replace the rod now that the play is gone or should I ride it until the play comes back. I will ride it the next day I get a chance to see if the play comes back.

I have decided to sell 1 of my LeMans's to help finance a Griso. Details and pictures can be found at Tri Cities TN Craigslist.

Anyone here going to make this years Guzzi's in the Blueridge?

Oops. Just noticed the year on this post. Nevermind.

I was thinking of coming over for the fun as I have the last weekend in July off, but I just looked on the MGNOC site and they have the rally listed for Aug 5-7th. Anyone know which weekend it is?

Question? Which book calls for 90 in the rear diff and 140 in the trans? The owners manual for v11 sports that I downloaded calls for 80w90 in both and I can't find the weights in the service manual I downloaded.

Yea, I figured that out today, Mis read my manual. opps.

Thanks for checking.

I have been exploring options for a slightly higher bar position to make for a more comfortable touring position. I was wondering if anyone has fitted a set of clip ons from a 2002 or newer Honda VFR to their LeMans. The fork tubes on the VFR are 43mm, so they should fit.

I am trying to decide which cans I want for my LeMans. A friend has some Mistral Ti cans and they are nice. I was wondering if anyone is running the Fast By Ferracci carbon cans and what is the quality, performance, and sound like?

I did hear back from G&B. All they could tell me was that they do make an ECM and they suppose that someone has fit a non original ECM on my bike. Brian himself replied to my E-Mail. Thats pretty cool. He said that a Guzzi dealer could adjust the CO, but that they did different maps for the V11, STW and Furia. Don't know which one is in my box. Guess I'll go see the guys at Moto Nexus next chance I get.

I use a system similar to the Sigma on my Yeti. When I change the batt. on it, I also have to reprogram it for the circumfrence on the front wheel( or which ever wheel the magnet pickup is on). Call your local Bicycle shops and someone there can probably tell you how to reprogram it.

I was poking around under my seat the other day and noticed a Ghezzi and Brian sticker on my ecu. It is on a 2002 LeMans. I just bought the bike a couple of months ago and don't know a lot about its history. It does appear to run a bit lean, so I also need to find out how to richen it up. Anybody seen this before and know what it is?

1. blue painters tape to cover all hard plastic(buckles and base on back of bags). 2. 1 can krylon indoor/outdoor satin black spray paint. 3. lightly spray 8 to 10 in. from bags. 2 coats will make them look like new. Thanks to Big Chris for this one.

Thanks for a great time. I'll be back next year. You guys holler if you make it to North East TN, you always have a couch to sleep on here.
