Fast - Thanks for the tip. I have the same lift in my garage in storage for a friend. Tried it and had the front raise as you said. I hooked a couple tiedowns to the ceiling and pulled it level for the first tire change. Last one I just put it on my Handy Lift and blocked it up. worked good for the front though.
Guzzi Lou - I had them in right side up as I noticed the grooves and reinstalled as they came out. As for the plug gap I see Guzzi recommends 0.024 - 0.028" (0.61 - 0.71mm). That is the gap of most old points and condenser Hondas. Almost anything with a newer ignition uses 0.032" (0.81mm) or better. I noticed my original plugs were at 0.040" (1.02mm) or slightly more at 11,600+ miles. I pulled the new ones out of the box and they were at 0.035" (0.89mm). I figure NGK knows what the gap should be and they had the little cardboard tube to prevent them from getting "readjusted" in transit and they were all the same so I left them there. My trust in Moto Guzzi manuals is lacking a bit. Bear in mind I do not have the manual with me now so my metric conversions may be off a few hundreths of a mm from the manual.
