    V100 saddlebags note and warning!

    The matching locks for the V100s panniers were given to me by the dealer when I purchased the bike, I have also done what Tonym suggested using "bungs" I attached mine to the pannier handles so they don't go missing.

    where does this hose go?

    On my Breva 1100 the black hose is a gearbox vent. It is secured to the top of the airbox with a cable tie.

    Inside the Belly of he Beast - Oil sending unit 07 Norge

    If your Norge is similar to my 2007 Breva, inside the sump, according to the exploded view of the engine, there is a thermostatic valve for the oil. Ive not seen this myself as Ive never stripped the engine down. There may not be any oil going up to the cooler untill the engine reaches a certain...

    V100 Mods thread

    Ive just replaced all 4 of my indicators that I purchased from the GTM STORE (linked above) on my V100, the US style are almost twice the size of my NZ ones. They went on with no modification at all. As your swapping like for like as I did I'm sure the resistors are not required, they are used...

    Scott's How To Recover The 5 Digit Security Code. (CARC Dashboards)

    I think the clutch switch informs the ECU to allow the engine to be started while in gear,

    Hey everyone, a Breva 1100 owner from Idaho here

    Seeing you have snapped the top off the breather it should unscrew quite easily now, purchase a "easy out" of the correct size, if its tight don't force it and snap the easy out, you'll end up with all sorts of trouble. It should come out in one piece and nothing will fall into the housing. If...

    First oil change V100 at 925 miles .

    My quick shifter works flawlessly, changing up you must have the throttle open and closed when changing down, if the engine has no load on it either way it is a clunky uncomfortable change. When I 1st got the bike I thought the QS was a waste of money but now I have "mastered" the technique its...

    V100 replacing front turn signal

    I replaced all 4 of my indicators for the much larger US style, it was a bit fiddly the 1st time and you have to be patient, but now I know where all the clips and screws are its a 15min job. And yes, make sure the 3 clips are fully inserted as noted by Glen72. I also found that 1 large rubber...

    reading overflow tank - any trick to it?

    Make sure the bike is vertical and on a level surface, turn the wheel to the left and use a torch to illuminate the bottle, either from below or above.

    Indicators won’t cancel

    The actual electronics that does the flashing is built into the dash on the Breva, as V700Steve says its all controlled by the switch.

    Mmmm, is the fuel pump running?

    Weird rattling noise from new V7 850 Special

    The bike sounds really nice, now go and put 10,000k's on it and then report back. Ha ha.🏍️

    Weird rattling noise from new V7 850 Special

    You'll hear al lot of people say "A noisy tappet is a happy tappet", tight tappets can cause the valves to burn out. That being said, too loose isn't good either. Yes, a Guzzi sounds like a well oiled sewing machine. If you're that sensitive to noise , I'm surprised you haven't mentioned the...

    Weird rattling noise from new V7 850 Special

    The Guzzi is a 4 stroke engine ( induction, compression, power, exhaust) and the camshaft runs at half the engine speed, have you checked tappet clearances yourself? , there's chains, push rods, rockers, all manner of metallic parts moving. It seems to me you're overthinking this. You're engine...

    Add TPMS to V100 base model?

    I have an aftermarket TMPS on my Breva 1100, the unit was very cheap, batteries last a few years are easy to change and its accurate and reliable. The sensors switch on with centrifugal force at about 5km/hr, yea Scott the V100 takes ages to activate, weird.

    Add TPMS to V100 base model?

    I did not purchase the TPMS, it comes fitted as standard on the V100s Mandello. I wonder how long the battery lasts in the tyre valve.

    Add TPMS to V100 base model?

    Just had a look at my V100s, under the drivers seat is an electronic module with TPMS stamped on it, it has a connector block with 4 wires. I think that is the radio receiver from the tyre valves and the wires feed the ECU or dash.

    Blowing fuses

    Confirming what Lannis says, once you press the start button and then release it on the Breva 1100 the ECU sends volts to the solenoid for 10 seconds, once it starts and goes over 400 RPM the ECU releases the solenoid. I find on mine if it doesn't start after 5 seconds it would blow a fuse so...
