    Norge oil pump failure?!

    I have no illusions that VIN numbers are anything other than 'information'. As said before, the ONLY way to know is to 'tear' into the motor.

    Norge oil pump failure?!

    Yep, the risk is certainly there. And, unfortunately, the ONLY sure way to know is to tear into it.. The root of my hesitancy to start wrenching is I am not aware of any bike having a confirmed failure with a VIN higher than mine (113059). But as someone said, Luigi would surely use up all...

    Norge oil pump failure?!

    Took the bike out yesterday for a 'spirited' hour ride. I lugged the bike hard at low RPM /low speeds and also ran the bike to the 'upper end of the scale. Didn't see any red colors, triangles or wrenches at any speed or RPM. I also understand this was just a one time test and I must remain...

    ECU Disconnect

    Here's another vote to check the battery first. I always keep my battery on a high quality 'tender'. Once morning I thumbed the starter and pulled away heading to the gas station. After filling, thumbed the starter and got a very brief attempt to turn over. I pulled out my VOM meter and...

    Norge oil pump rotor replacement?

    Thanks for the 'heads-up'.

    Norge oil pump rotor replacement?

    I can't imagine it's a difficult job...pretty straight forward. It's the little tips and cautionary's that help the job go easier so was hoping to see that in the pics/videos.

    Norge oil pump rotor replacement?

    Bill, Did John Wells ever produce a photo/video of his oil pump replacement? I searched for same but nothing comes up on the forum.

    Norge oil pump failure?!

    Well, crap...was hoping for some confidence building information. Suppose I could go for a while longer and keep my eyes glued to the dash. But, there's nothing worse than thumbing the starter and hear the bike roar to life and at the same instant have that gnawing feeling that the only way...

    Faulty Oil Pressure Sensor Again on Norge 8V?

    Thanks for input...sorry about not posting on oil pump thread. Will revert and post there for continuity.

    Norge oil pump failure?!

    I replied to a post by Bill Hagen but wanted to repeat my reply to a wider audience. Please excuse if you've read this before: Sometime back I picked up a pristine 2007 Norge with a build date of March 2007 and VIN ending in 113059. Currently has <10K miles. On a ride this past weekend I was...

    Removing fuel line quick disconnect

    Sorry....had no idea anyone else had posted similar info. I've had those photos in my PC for over a year. When I saw the thread about Quick Disconnects when I opened up Guzzi Tech earlier this a.m. I just threw out the info without checking...nothing malicious intended.

    Faulty Oil Pressure Sensor Again on Norge 8V?

    Bill, Sometime back I picked up a pristine 2007 Norge with a build date of March 2007 and VIN ending in 113059. Currently has <10K miles. On a ride this past weekend I was at a stop and noticed the red triangle on the dash suddenly lit up. I pulled away and the triangle light disappeared...

    Removing fuel line quick disconnect

    FYI, there are devices for making easy and safe work for dealing with quick disconnects. These can be found at many automotive stores or online. The device is placed around the fuel line next to the disconnect. It is then pushed against/toward the quick disconnect. The 'working end' of the...

    Broken Red Elbow -Fix it to OEM configuration or just fix it??

    Well, this isn't really a new thread but it has been a while since anyone last posted anything new. After dropping the tank from my 2007 Norge and snapping the red plastic elbow I conducted a successful internet search and parts installation. I thought I'd share what I've found/learned just in...

    Early Norge Dipstick access

    Great news. I'd love to see your design. I have access to a complete machine shop so turning will not be a problem.

    Early Norge Dipstick access

    Does anyone have, or know where I can find, an accurate template for cutting the dipstick access hole in a 2007 Norge fairing? I think I remember reading, before acquiring my Norge, that Guzzi furnished or has a template. Or, am I dreaming that Guzzi would provide anything free???

    2007 Norge Follow-up: Is Dash or ECU the Culprit

    John, with all due respect to the effort you put into this forum, I take great exception that spending $461.00 is doing anything on the cheap. And, as for your calculus of what is and what is not 'attempting to do thing on the cheap', my total out of pocket expense is still less than $600.00 to...

    2007 Norge Follow-up: Is Dash or ECU the Culprit

    I hear ya Dave.. but you and I both know it ain't supposed to be this way. it riles the piss out of me that a bike that costs much as a Guzzi yet one has to put up with BS reminiscent of a POS from China or India.

    2007 Norge Follow-up: Is Dash or ECU the Culprit

    :dry: Did a search and saw a used one for ~$24 compared to a new one for 35.00. My bike only has 5000 miles and the sensor looks brand new. So looks apparently don't mean anything. For the $11.00 cost difference I think I'll just wait.

    2007 Norge Follow-up: Is Dash or ECU the Culprit

    Just placed an order for a front wheel sensor for the Norge. It's a 'special' order part and apparently NO dealer in the US (either Guzzi or Aprillia) has one in stock. Maybe the 'Guzzi exclusivity' I've heard about is self inflicted rather than garnered by consumer demand.
