Wrong mixture after replacing mufflers v65?
Recently I replaced my old mufflers for a set of used stock v65 SP (my bike is not SP) mufflers, which look almost the same only 2 cm shorter. I went for a ride they felt great.

Unstable idle after cleaning the carbs
Hi guzzi people,I got my carburators (dellorto phbh 30) cleaned by a local mechanic who cleaned the parts in a bath, replaced the float needles and a few gaskets and o-rings. Since then the idle has been unstable. It starts at around 1200 rpm but quickly goes up to 2000 - 2200. I've tried...- Auris

Turn signal relay v65
Turn signals on my v65 have a second's delay after I turn them on, which is very annoying while driving. For that I bought a new flasher relay. It's not the original one but the mechanic said it's a good one because it can also handle LED lights. So I took the side covers off in search of the...- Auris

K&N filters and crankcase breather modification for v65
Hi Guzzi people, I am new to Moto Guzzi and still don't know many of its secrets, but one thing I learned since buying my v65 (1985) is that a regular mechanic (maybe I was unlucky with mine) won't know all about guzzi's. That's why I am determined to maintain my bike by myself when possible...- Auris
