any oil rated SG should have enough ZDDP to be safe in your Guzzi. I use the cheaper Castrol 20-50 Actevo motorcycle synth blend, that's about $30 a jug at Cycle Gear. it's SG rated and has the ZDDP.

tasty stuff

this is really raunchy blues.... these guys can still rock Blue and Lonesome

the simple thing is to loosen the switch and slide it until the brake light functions properly. Then tighten it up when it's in place. Don't take it apart. Don't unplug the switch. Don't take the nuts completely off. Don't drop the ball bearing. I won't tell you how I know what not to do. I won't tell you how I know that you can find that dang ball bearing at Ace Hardware.

you can get one at Ace Hardware. If you aren't certain get a couple of different sizes.

Unless the pipes are of an unusual diameter, I'd think there would be a generic slip on and clamp mount that would work.

aren't the slipons pretty much generic? I'd measure the pipe size and call them. And then get a universal mount.

I am running Dunlop Sportmax RoadSmarts and like the way the handle. I've run Quals before and can't tell much difference. The Sport always seems to handle well.

I know a fellow in Tyler Texas with one and he keeps his Suzuki Bandit mounted on it much of the time he doesn't ride it. He does a lot of work on his and his friends' motorcycles. Also, I can't recall who all has posted the info but I've read from several folks that are satisfied with them on various motorcycle internet boards. . Chuck from Indiana has a stand but I don't know if it's from Harbor Freight.

I just put a Wix in the Greenie. OReiily's even had Moto Guzzi in the cross ref on their computer.

I think MG wanted $3 for the gasket but couldn't take an order for less that $10. So I get a gasket for Harper's and the cost is $20. Brilliant! And the nutty thing is that I should've ordered more gaskets, molly and the like for future maintenance for both bikes. But I was in a hurry and didn't ask for the cost nor think about what I might need next time

I don't think you can stop a gearoil drip with PBR. Try something dark and smoky from Blueboarhound"s selections in "Mmmmmmmm - beer!" Those drain plugs have a "crush washer?" Maybe time for a fresh one? yeah I might dump it, get a new crush washer and pour in the blue stuff. Only three drips (as usual). But it didn't botch a shift, even 2nd to 3rd. any beer but a hoppie IPA.

ooops... three drips under the tranny drain. I did take a box end to it and was snug. forget everything I said.

Finally got my pan gasket here after week wait from Harper's ($20, cough GASP- no wonder I didn't have one on there before). Anyway, I took a test ride with the Okiecocktail gear oil and didn't miss a shift. First time I can remember. I only missed a single shift with the Lucky Phil Extender and pink stuff from the last ride. Anyway, after I cleaned up the blow-by from the breather, everything appears to be drip free. I'll keep an eye on it. Not sure when I'll ride it again since the 80 temps are heading to the 50s. And since my hands were oily, I cleaned the grill and popped a PBR. Spicing some tri-tips for tonight.

Docc, in the between the east and west part of the country that's almost in the south (+ texas), anything that smells like tex-mex, BBQ or any kind of steak usually works ok. No yak here but Pho is catching on (ox tail soup)

Docc. I am disappointed I didn't get a Yak Burger when we last visited. I understand when you ride your bike it smells like Chicken Fried Steak.

I am definitely going to ride it and see how it goes before I flush it.

I'll give the Okie cocktail a whirl and see how it goes. I'll flush it with Bluestuff if it gives me one drip or bad shifts. If not, I'll just run it. BTW, running the extender thingy too.
