    Bellagio - RCS clutch

    I'm wanting to fit a Brembo RCS kit to my bike. I have the 19mm RCS for the brakes, but ...... (matched to 4 spot-4 pad calipers off a 998R) I received a 17mm RCS mastercylinder for the clutch. I am advised standard clutch bore size is 16mm, and that the 17mm master will make my clutch feel...

    2015 V7 Stone - Brakes

    He bought a 2nd hand bike, 12 months old, 3,000km. Its just the feel ......................... I serviced it for him several weeks ago. This morning he mentioned "jerky" throttle, so I've adjusted the free play. Big improvement. Back to the back brake; Are you blokes using HH pads or something...

    2015 V7 Stone - Brakes

    My older brother is complaining his V7 rear brake is wooden - no feeling or braking power. Appears to be bled well, hard pedal. Pad material? Suggestions?

    FORGED MAGNESIUM WHEELS FOR GUZZI.

    This info was not on the official PVM site, but on an Australian web site. http://www.sportsbike.com.au/pvm_wheels.html The claim is, you can have wheels made for anything. Makes my carbon version look very expensive and time consuming. Start emailing and things will happen...

    Masochistic bikers and other two wheeled mental disorders.

    Hey Hawgy, I think you've got a lower opinion of japshit than I do of hardly rideables. Put them emblems on a T5 and it will go backwards, I'm sure.

    Masochistic bikers and other two wheeled mental disorders.

    Then there is OCMD (Obsessive Compulsive Modification Disorder) That's where a sufferer takes a perfectly good motorcycle (not a Harley) and chops it up and modifies it beyond recognition. Not necessarily an instant cosmetic make over, but a gradual evolution of improvements. You know you're...

    Re: Bellagio mods

    Love that red chrome look, I intend to have my chrome tank painted over with the latest metalic Mazda red, ....... one day. Bob, calculated the other day I've only spent the equivalent of "2 packets of cigarettes per week", over the past 5 years. The stock Bellagio is a bees dick from what I...

    In June 2016. I will ride from Turkey to Greece. Any advice ?

    Wow Emir, thought you would have had a response by now. Any Greecians here? There's a guy named okuraner on another forum, he comes from Turkey. Also some other members from Greece might be able to help with your quest. Not trying to steer you away from here (or Guzzi's)...

    All my ponies.....

    Almost same story, plenty of bikes before self employment not so many now. But I have more time to play and fiddle than ride - on call. Went to a bike night at Harry's Diner last night, saw a Griso and a few other nice bikes plus a crap load of hardleys. Some bloke commented on the amount of...

    Re: Bellagio mods

    Well, there aint nuttin on the market I want, out of 40+ bikes two have stood out. Bang for buck .............. RD350LC and Ducati Hypermotard 1100S. 2009 I sold the Ducati to build a better 2 stroke, Aprilia RS250 chassis with RZ motor bored and stroked to 485cc. 2011 needed a ride bike instead...

    Bellagio K&N filters & Boosterplug / power commander

    Way back in the archives, Todd had lots of dyno sheets comparing all sorts of performance mods on his Jackal V11 Beast Pods versus stock arbox (lid removed) with K&N. If I remember correctly ................there was a 1 hp advantage to the pods in the top end, but the air box had the advantage...

    Bellagio swap with 1100 2V engines (breva?)

    I could start with an 8V 1200 and slot a 66mm crank in it just for the rev ability, but I know plenty of Griso owners using a 9k rev limiter, so it becomes a worthless practice sacrificing a sweet torque flat (not a curve) from 3k to 8k rpm. Anyhow I'm busy with a Multistrada front end swap...

    Bellagio swap with 1100 2V engines (breva?)

    Personally I would say swapping those 2 engines is a waste of time. My 02 Cali Stone at 1062cc made 69rwhp and 60lbs of torque - with single plug heads. My 07 Bellagio at 936cc makes 76rwhp and 59lbs of torque - with dual plug heads. Both bikes have pipes, K&N and PC fitted But all that extra...

    Bellagio swap with 1100 2V engines (breva?)

    Apparently, you need to remove the whole alternator system from the 8V motor, and add the front timing case off a Bellagio or similar. For some reason, those who have done it used a Ducati crank mounted stator, with a little machining to fit. The question is, can the Bellagio frame handle the...

    Re: Bellagio mods

    Ok, current fuck around. Went shopping for a new front end, chose Ducati because the triple clamp offset is a lot less then Bellagio. Guzzi 65mm, Ducati 36mm. The change will increase my trail by 29mm. With close to 60mm raise in the rear from a shock length increase of 20mm, and a 13mm drop in...

    Re: Bellagio mods

    Well, all this bullshit modding started with a faulty right rear indicator, fixed it for about 20k. Well guess what, right rear Oxford Nano shit itself dinn'it. So to fix that I've had to order a 2004 Multistrada 1000DS front end. Why? Coz Multistrada forks are basically same length as Cali EV...

    trail braking

    Agree with everything you say Phil, but there is one major factor that most road riders fail to pay attention to on this subject. Race tyres and road tyres are like comparing apples and oranges. When we watch MotoGP and the choice of tyres they have between soft medium and hard, most people...
