    V100 clutch basket failure

    Hi Racer242, sounds like your on the money. Got some pic's from the dealer this morning. To quote them:- "We've sent a case through to Guzzi, just waiting for a response. Bit of a strange one, we haven't come across this issue before but we're looking into it." Believe replacement part is in...

    V100 oil leak (minor)

    Took the bike in for its 12k service earlier this week and to get the oil leak resolved. As suspected it was the drive shaft oil seal thats causing the issues. Motor didn't have to come out of the bike to get to the seal, but it was quite involved.

    V100S suspension - spring limitations

    New front springs, new spring preload spacers & revalving of the fork pistons , done 10 days ago; Since then another 2500ks or so have been clocked on the bike on some of the windiest roads on the eastern coast of NSW. I must admit I always thought the handing of the V100s was good but the...

    V100 Mods thread

    Got a SW_ Motech guard on my V100 , whilst you can access the drain plug , you do have to remove the guard to change the filter. I believe the same also applies to guards from Hepco Becker & Dbk. I think the Pyramid Plastics offering doesnt have to be removed to change filter

    V100S suspension - spring limitations

    Having done over 2500ks ,since changing to shock spring and having the shock revalved I can honestly say it has made a vast improvement. The ride is still firm , yet the harshness of “bottoming out “ every time we hit a bump is gone. (The wife is happy now as she doesn’t feel like she’s being...

    V100 gearbox 'Too much loctite'

    yes, hopefully a new spring will fix the problem. I'm not the only one with the issue I recall "florida lime " saying the same thing

    V100 gearbox 'Too much loctite'

    I'd suggest the shields are there for a reason. (i.e to stop scraping the pipes). No doubt Guzzi designed them to take most of the hit before the exhaust . (i'd prefer that to damaging the exhaust) sorry about the pic.. includes a bit of timber whilst the bike is jacked up to allow me to...

    V100S suspension - spring limitations

    Purchasing a V100S 2 months ago and having now done just over 4000ks I decided that its time to upgrade the springs to be more suited to my weight , that of my pillion etc. Something which I knew I'd have to do before I even bought the bike Reason being unless I'm doing 120k's + the suspension...

    V100 saddlebags note and warning!

    Finally my panniers arrived, after watching this tread with interest and the good ideas in regards to fixing with linch pin, clevis pins etc . I decided to take a different tack to prevent the panniers coming off in mid flight. Being reluctant to drill them at this stage I thought why not put a...

    Good on you MN - Lane-split law passed

    ...way to the land of Oz. The douchebag behaviour has been here for years, even if they've been driving smaller utes/pickups. How do you fix it, F&^*ed if I know, Only solution I can think of is to make it mandatory for everyone to get their bike licence before their car licence and they must...
