    Just a "male di testa"...

    Hi everyone! I own a ZGULK guzzi, a Nevada Club from 2002. I picked it apart before this season because there was sometimes a backfire in the right cylinder when I started the bike up and me, loving my ride, want no such thing. To my shock - after some obligatory cleaning - I noticed a small...

    Engine swap idea - "Toyota Guzzi"

    Just a hair-brained idea floating around my head for quite some time, i have long fantasized about attaching a car engine to a 'Guzzi box. The candidates were an alloytec V6 from a commodore, 6G72 "cyclone" V6 from a magna, & any boxer 4 from a subaru. However, the subaru & mitsubishi engines...

    Peg vibration over 4k rpm

    Good evening, Here i am once again posting about a problem. It's been a long time. Now, i'm planning on riding through the snowy mountains late january, & i have an issue - the pegs make my feet tingle at highway speed (100+ km/h) after about half an hour. I start feeling hard vibration during...

    Dancing speedo needle at low speed

    Ladies & gentlemen, Ever since i serviced the cable on my nevada, the speedo needle started bouncing. It was all over the place when i used lithium, & graphite powder isolated it to below 45km/h. Any ideas? It spins smoothly above that, & i know it is the cable as i tested the other parts which...

    Is this engine knocking?

    Hello there! I am trying to sell my beloved Guzzi in order to move overseas more easily. I have just had someone inspect it & was concerned about the noise it makes when in neutral with the clutch released. She tells me it's engine knock, as it sounds like chains, but the noise fades with...

    Crossover Pipe idea

    Hey all, i have seen a few crossover pipes online that replace the canister "expansion chamber", & i've read some posts on this site by people who have installed them, but they cost around $60-$90, & appear to be little more than a piece of stainless steel pipe. With this in mind, i'm thinking...

    simple filter mod idea

    Hey all. Winter has come, & my bike is now surging a little. It was worse, but i got out the vacuum gauges, turned the fuel down about half a turn, & halved the issue to a gentle surge. Now, when servicing the bike, i noticed the filter isn't sitting properly, & the rubber gasket from the old...

    Back in action

    So, about a week ago i did both the tyres & with them off i decided to do the forks as well. In a prevoius post concerning the forks, the left fork was jammed on, thanks to encountering rust that was flaking the chrome off. I have since taken the blinker off & pressed it out using a scissor...

    Please, tell me I don't have to do it...

    Hi everyone, So, I have a 2002 Nevada Club (ZGULK) with a busted alternator. Tried to remove it by putting the bike in gear, stomping on the rear brake and twisting on the nut, but it would not bulge. I suppose, I have to lock the flywheel to be able to remove the darn thing. Is there a way to...

    2002 Nevada carb tuning issues

    Hello all, first post here. I bought a 2002 Nevada 750 club from a couple on a farm. I can't seem to get the idle right, as after a ride it either races to 2000rpm if i turn the idle screws 180 degrees clockwise or constantly stalls if i turn it back 180 degrees. It also surges badly in 1st, not...
