On a whim, I decided to call Moto Guzzi North America to see if they would be willing to do anything about the cracked Excel rear rim. Even though I am a long...
I just purchased a replacement seat for the Q from a fellow that had a Quota and sold it, still had the stock seat hanging around.. Cool, I can modify this one...
Greg, That's good news... A friend here that bought one in August with 2300 miles on it found out from a dealer that if the replacement had not been done and...
I don't think the stock seat had a seam on the upper surfaces. I recommend you look at Russell Day-Long products, or Ned's Cycles in Iowa, to modify the seat...
Hi Rob, I don't know about differences in ease of modifying, but you have identified the two different seat styles that Guzzi produced for the Q1100. From what...
Rob-- Give the seat from Ned's (319-648-3241) serious consideration. It is a lot of seat for aot less money. I have one on my Q and rode 675 miles in about...
Greg, Good info... I had seen both seats on different Quotas all along and didn't think of the width difference.. The one I have now seems to have a scuptured...

Zupi, Just changing fuel injectors is no use. They are not better than the ones you have. If you also have the throttle valves, you will at least have to ...
Quota Riders, The local Guzzi dealer wants to charge me two hours labor to swap the electric petcocks for manual ones. How long did it take those of you who...
changed a defective electric to another electric. With all the work I did on my quota I became fairly proficient at taking the tank and front fairing off...
This is a "do it yourself" job! Takes about an hour and is the first thing to learn when you have a Quota (Q) At least once a year you have to take of the tank...
David, Certainly you may ask. Failures of the electric petcocks due to broken/frayed wiring was recently discussed in this forum. I was suspicious of the...

Quota Pilots, Okeh, I've gone and done it. My Quota now has manual petcocks (fuel taps). Do I have to close these suckers every time I park the motorbike? I...
In theory, because the fuel pump controls delivery of fuel to the cylinders, you should not have to close them each and every time you stop. In practice...
Hi Rick, I've had manual petcocks on my Q for over a year now. The only time I've closed them is when I remove the tank or when I hauled the bike from...
Hi all, With the rear wheel being sent off to Buchanan's for a replacement rim, I've finally gotten around to painting the bare Q1000 fairing. Fortunately, my...
