Just got it firing!
ciao ragazze
Im a german moto guzzi enthusiast (engineer, age 62) started with a V7 750 from 1970, which I emported from italy and restaurated her, followed by a 1100 california with carburator, then a BMW R1000R, which had no soul and was boring, then moto guzzi norge 8V, with her I did 47000 kilometres of nice touring all over europe and just last month I changed the norge to the V100S with the semiactive suspension....well...feels very different this new generation...the response of the engine is superior to any other guzzi I drove...imagine you drive through the alps...aproach a hairpin bend...slow down into the first gear...pass the peak and do want to excelerate smoothly...well with the older guzzis that always was a problem, because you started to open the throttle very slowly and carefully, but nothing happened until suddenly she would launch as if there was no tomorrow. with the 100 no problem...100% you can control her. BUT here comes my problem: the clutch does not properly disengage!...when she is cold and I stop at the first crossing after 500 meters, being in the first gear, clutch completely pulled, she still crawls. that also explains, why changing gears is sometimes very hard and really needs a too high force to the shift lever. i have now done 1000 kilometers and it did not change. also when i engage the first gear at stand still, she always jumps. I can say, that it is not only my V100...before I bought her, I had a testride with the normal V100...not S...and it was alike. the dealer promissed, it would improve with the mileage, but I dont believe that. since this is the first guzzi with wet clutch...can anybody share information, if a different oil viscosity would be helpfull? or is it a problem of the clutch actuation cylinder?....any idea? would be great to hear from you
