I took the rear wheel off my 2000 Quota 1100ES to replace the old (7 years!) tire. The bike has only ~1,500 miles on the odometer. As the wheel is off, I...
1- take the entire rear drive off the swingarm and grease the splines on the driveshaft assembly. Pretty easy and I bet you it is dry or almost so. 2. Take the...
I use a molybdenum-based grease (available at any auto-parts store) to lube the hub and wheel drive splines. I also coat the wheel bearings and axle with the...
I echo what other have said. I like to use a very sticky lubricant for the splines on the wheel hub. I've found that most "normal" greases heat up, sling out,...
Thanks everyone who commented for the info regarding servicing from a remote location. IT sounds like I may be able to keep the Quota running, although I am...
Everybody says dismantle and grease, but when you tell me you are not a mechanic I only recommend you to change the tyre and eventually take out and grease the...
Thank you (mange tak to Erling) all for your recommendations! Is there any source which shows the teardown step by step in pictures (e.g. Guzziology, repair...
I will be leaving this week, weather permitting, to ride my MZ Baghira down to Argentina from Columbus, OH. Once there, I will leave it with pilotos...
George, You're welcome to stop by McAllen/Mission again if you need any last-minute maintenance, etc. By the way, I found a new way to ride down to Monterrey...
George, Happy trails, I will follow your adventures! Cheers, Dick _____ Van: Guzzi_Quota@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Guzzi_Quota@yahoogroups.com] Namens ...
Zupi, As you know, I did my own conversion which involved building a bracket in order to relocate the side stand downwards and forwards. This was necessary...
Ross, If your bike has the updated ECU you should not have to "tune" the fuel injection system unless you make some drastic modifications to the bike. I have...
quotafanatic, So are you saying that you will be part of the medical group that goes out into the countryside to help out...? Well best of luck to you and your...
No, I'm going to leave that to people who know what they are doing. I will be leaving them the bike to use or rent out to tourists who want to travel around...
I see, nice donation... :) The reason I asked is that the Dr that did the laparoscopic surgery on my elbow earlier this year goes to Honduras and other places...
Hay Alfred Looking forward for pics of your new double. Just receved hydraulic clutch from Moto Spezial. Will also post some pics. when I put it on, but here...
... Again to South America?! Sheesh, I still haven't even been once! If you need any mechanical stuff doublechecked before getting out of the country, once...
... They mount in the seam between the fairing and fuel tank. The pointed lower part goes forward along the crease near the bottom of the fairing. Through...
For those of you who have tried them, what is the consensus ??? Is the Gustaffson +7 or +9 the better choice ??? I want to try one for everyday use. My...
Mike, I am 5'11" with a very long inseam and a VERY short torso. I like the +7 for year round riding. I especially like it when I get on gravel or dirt for the...
I can second the tank panniers, in theory... The fellow I bought the Quota from told me that they work to help eliminate buffeting also. He kept his and I'll...
I always run tank panniers now, except on the rare occasion I wash my bike. It makes a world of improvement (the panniers, that is.... not washing the...
Mike Before you buy a new one, I have one that I am not using that was only used on a couple of times--no scratches,etc--essentially new. I think it is a 9...
