Hay old gang Going to Slovenian Guzzi rally now-farewell ride for this season. It is 9.30 a.m. here, enjoying each minute of my life (with Quota). Zupi...
Hi Henry, Glad you got the Quota back. Any other damage than the missing Hepcos? I just hope you didn't have $10,000 in small, untraceable bills hiding inside...
I've posted some of my playing around with the stands in the photo section, under the folder PaulB. More will be added as I progress. Here is the explanation...
Thanks Alfred - I did not manage to find a replacement rear spring from Eibach but Hyperpro has one on their Website so I called, talked to their tech and...

Hi Dov, I have the Hyperpro's rear and front. Before, I had WP progressive springs at the front. The difference is that the WP actually have two rates: a...
Dovie, One item that does a make a difference in fuel consumption is replacing the plastic insert for the temperature sensor behind the right cylinder with a...
Hay there Last week I've got Hyperpro kit (fork oil, fork springs and rear spring. Dick or Ben allredy writte that up but again it is:"combikit-SP-MG10- ...
Zupi, The spring ratings depends entirely on the riders weight and riding style. Alfred ... From: Stanislav Bojan Zupet To: Guzzi_Quota@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Pippo, I haven't affected the strength by cutting the end, unless you think that welded plate on the bottom contributes to the strength, which I suppose is...
I'd read that paste was some kind of copper anti-seize. I've been looking for that stuff in auto parts stores but haven't found it; they only have anti-seize...
Temp sensor. I took a peace of the sleepingmat, ca 8X12 cm and vith a knife cutted out so it fitted in between the tank and the top of engine. In the...
This I believe it not quite accurate. If you let your bike sit and idle then check the plugs they will show idle conditions. Take you bike out for a spin and...
Not sure that is entirely correct. The riders weight will effect the sag. The spring rate is fixed based on construction, materials, etc. Deryle Mehrten ...
Erling, So your sleeping mat has to be pretty bumpy by now? Alfred Jorgensen ... From: Erling Pedersen To: Guzzi_Quota@yahoogroups.com Sent: 10/3/2005...
I'm not sure I understand what Erling wrote about the sleeping mat. What kind of material is it, Erling? I'd worry about plastic or other synthetics melting on...
This thread caught my attention as I live in the North East, often referred to as the Great White North and I ride well into cold weather stopping only for...
Hi Erling, The problems they talk about concern the 1100 models, the 1100 has a different sensor, the 1000 has one mounted (inside) the left valve cover. The...
Deryle, You are right you can run the engine under a certain condition (eg flat out) and then kill the ignition. But you would have to do that for every ...
Hi everybody, Let's not forget that it is not the oil temperature that defines the amount of fuel that is needed for a proper mixture. It is of course the...
Hi Folks, I've updated my ride report over at ADVrider, if any of you care to check it out. Updates include the route from Ouray, Colorado to Taos, New Mexico....

The tank removal isn't too hard, but you'll need to remove the seat, remove the mounting bolts to the frame, remove the fuel lines from the petcocks,...
Done that twice and like Rick says, if you have Socket type Hex Keys or the T type that are about 30cm long there is NO need to take the tank off at all....
