erring on the side of tight valves is an odd suggestion. the common wisdom is that tappy valves are happy valves. if your engine taps when its cold but quietens down when it's warm, that's perfect. if you go too tight, as the engine heats up, it will lose compression. the tappets keep the valves open just a crack even when they should be closed and it'll run poorly. ask me how i know :-) if you're too loose, it'll tap even when it's warmed up, that's a sign you need to tighten them just a bit. trial and error can work for this.

@cubbysue 10 күн бұрын

Yes. But it is the spanner for adjusting the rear spring. You should have gotten one. It's in a red bag.

Today I'm going to install 'fog lights' from brand rizoma.Not too expensive, design is quite acceptable, sold by a German rizoma dealer, wrapped by a nice Christmas present box but: No instructions, no definition of the wire colors, a on/off switch illuminated for the steering bar.The only place on the left hand side is the conical area of the bar....surprise, surprise

ALWAYS measure the final drive oil!!! You need 140cc (4.75oz) NO MORE" Putting too much can cause a seal failure and pi$$ oil all over your tire while you're riding.

NEVER use anything METAL to check TDC, if you don't have a proper TDC gauge (which are quite reasonably priced, even Guzzi specific ones) then use a long plastic or paper drinking straw and once you have it at TDC you can mark it with a sharpie for next time and no danger of damage to piston or head. Using that allen or a screwdriver could leave you with a very large repair bill.

Hey Cubby, how do I know when I hit TDC? The engine is a four stroke and I cannot tell when I attempt this.

@cubbysue thanks for the reply. I'm in a pickle because I have a trip planned to Colorado in 2 months and my bike currently has about 800 miles on it. I plan on doing the service myself before the trip but the wrench light is going to go off while I'm riding up there and will drive me nuts!! Only dealer near my area is Austin and it's pretty far out of my way.. Did the dealer give you any crap about doing the service yourself and resetting your light? Did they charge you anything? Thanks.

I'm a little confused.... take off the oil... do you mean do you need to drain the oil? If so, no. You do not need to drain the oil. You can adjust the valves any time you need. Not just during an oil change. I hope this helps. I've visited Switzerland, very beautiful country. Ride safe my friend.

Looks like you said there’s a 13mm bolt that needs to be removed from engine in order to put in the 17mm bolt head that secures the bottom part of the bars right? I’m thinking that the previous owner snapped that 13mm bolt because when I go to insert the 17mm bolt to secure the bottom part of the bars it doesn’t grab anything. I looked inside that engine Mount and don’t see any thread. That’s why I’m thinking that the bolt was snapped and it’s stuck inside. What’d you think?

@cubbysue 3 ай бұрын

Can you verify that the bolt is broken off? Can you see it in there with a flashlight? If that bolt is broken off inside for the engine mount, that is going to be a problem. Access to that bolt is very restricted. Trying to drill the bolt to extract it is going to be difficult with the engine in the bike. It is doable though. It's not a very deep bolt, but if it is snapped off, it may be because it was overtightened. Either way, that bolt going into the block of the engine is an integral part of the strength of the frame. The engine literally is hanging from the frame from those bolts. I'm sorry to hear that it is broken off. That my be a job best suited for your dealership or a machine shop. If you plan to attempt to remove it yourself, I would center punch the broken bolt with a transfer punch that fits tightly in the hole. You want to drill as centered into the bolt as you can. Good luck, and let us know how this mess turns out.

@daveotis4635 2 ай бұрын

@@cubbysue once again you were right. Bolt was broken off inside. Tried extracting it but it was too much of a b?!ch since it’s deep inside. What I ended up doing was just threading the cylinder open area before the bolt. Engine Mount should be fine since that original bolt isn’t going anywhere. On a side note, this bike is relatively new to me. I noticed on the freeway that it was to rev pretty high to do decent freeway speeds. Is this normal? For example: 75-80mph = ~5000rpm

Help: when adjusting the valves on the right side of the motorcycle (as you’re sitting on it) I noticed that I had to loosen the valves a whole lot in order to fit the feeler gauge underneath. However, this seemed wrong, so I turn the engine just to see what happened and of course when the piston went down the space now in the valves is huge probably like half an inch. This is with me using the .1 and .15 mm on the feeler gauge with the piston in the top position. Any suggestions?

@cubbysue 3 ай бұрын

My guess is that your piston was not fully up. Rotate it back around and have another go. I hope you get it figured out, if not, send me another message and I'll try to help if I can.

@daveotis4635 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for the reply brotha! You were spot on. I adjusted the left side without having the piston all the way up so when I went to do the right side of the engine the valves never adjusted nicely. So I redid the left side and once I went to do the right side again it was a cinch. Thanks for the help!
