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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
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.
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.
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...
