• Ciao Guest, The owner of this website and GTMotoCycles.com lost his home completely on the morning of January 8th in the L.A. Wildfire Storm. Most of his neighborhood is gone, and a few friends were killed along with their pets. The GTM SHOP and STORE are functioning normally, but we DEMAND EXTREME PATIENCE on orders as we are a SMALL business and Todd usually has his hands on nearly every order before it goes out. You can find more info on a post named L.A. Wildfires in the USA section. Our heart and best go out to everyone in this horrific disaster.

    Suggested octane for 80's small block motors?

    Hi all, I have a 1980 V50ii with abnormal combustion. The service manual states 100 octane, which I have gathered is based on research octane (RON). By my calculation this is approximately 95 octane based on the AKI (R+M)/2 used here in the States. Currently I'm using "clean" supreme 93 octane...

    Stelvio, fuel congestion

    Hi again.I got a very strange problem with the fuel supply.When the fuel level reaches nearly 1/3 the engine starts to congest, and finally shuts down. Turning the key off and on will make it possible to restart, and run for a mile or so - then same happens. Refueling solves it ! And I can...

    Fuel/Throttle issue

    Hi all,Thought I would ask here before I go on the Guzzi forum and take to dealer. I have a 2014 California 1400 Custom that has just started doing something strange. Sometimes it takes about three goes to start and then when you twist the throttle it doesn't rev. The red triangle with the...

    Red Elbow Fuel Connector Issues

    I have read just about every forum/thread there is about figuring out a replacement for the red elbow that is so notorious for snapping. Several months ago when I first bought the bike (2011 V7 Classic), I broke mine and ended up replacing it with a metal equivalent from Zip-Ty Racing. I then...

    I'll try to keep this as short as possible. I'm hoping someone else has run into this problem and knows exactly what it is.Quick back story just in case any of it is relevant. I filled the fuel tank last night, rode around a bit, stopped for about 2 hours, and when I turned the bike back on...

    Carb cleanup question (Dellorto PHBH 30)

    Hello, I am planning to clean my Dell'Orto PHBH 30 carbs for the first time. I have never done it before, so my question is, what parts are the most essential to replace before reassembling the carbs? I am not sure what I can expect to find after I open them up, but I think they haven't been...

    Throttle/Fuel issues

    I'm experiencing a weird issue that I'm not too sure of the cause. The issue first happened right after my ECU was flashed at GT. When I left the bike acted like it wasn't getting fuel almost like it was choking. Power was sporadic feeling like it was getting fuel then not then getting fuel...
