Thanks Taliaferro... I have the Quota apart that far for other maintenance so I thought I might as well drop it about a 1/2" (13mm) The fellow I bought the Q...
Hi Rob, Yes, the lower knob is for damping. I think some folks here have reported no change when adjusted. As for me, I can tell a marked difference in how...
Gentlemen, The lower knob is indeed for "rebound dampening", in other words, when the spring is compressed over a bump the "rebound dampening" restrains the...
It does make sense Alfred... Is there a mean damping setting to start out with...? I certainly do not want the "pogo stick" effect on the rear this rig.......
Hi Rob, I don't think there is a mean starting point. Since it is easy enough to get at, I just adjust it whenever I get the urge. If I were you, I would run...
Rob and Greg, I believe there is a recommended starting point setting in the service manual. If not take the knob out all the way anti-clockwise (looking up...
I moved mine toward the front of the bike.on the centerstand.You shouls measure the height of the rear and only lower the rear as much as the front.Tom...
Tom, Gotcha... So lower the front first...? I was thinking of using the lower frame rail as the reference point and measuring as I go... actually, two...
While getting to the front fork securing bolts to lower the front end this evening I got a little side tracked and started messing with the head lights... that...
Hay Rob My problems with front were the same, guess as everone's with 1100 model. Juerg told me that he cleans it with vinager and water. I changed the lamps...

Hi Doug, I've got a Brembo cross reference on my website: http://thisoldtractor.com/gtbender/brembo.htm So that will at least let you track down other vehicles...
Question from a computer nono who needs original airbox from a quota 1000? Anybody has it lying around for sale? Also need a fillercap? Thanx, Peter(Guzzi) ......
Hey Greg, On your website there is mention of the Euro-version V11 Sport headlight being identical as the Quota 1100.... Any word of someone having swapped...
Glenn Morgan has that conversion. It is a bit better and it is very expen$ive and not available very easily here in the states...After I compared mine with...
Glenn here. I lucked out and was offered that light from a guy who sold his quota he had used it on. Got it for $60. Huge improvement over my original, stock...
I am wondering, how much braking power is typical for the front brakes of the 1100ES, or - to be more concrete - if my front brakes are substandard and can be...
Hay Armin As I remember from Weggis-European Quota 2005 meeting Jan has bigger front disc on his V11 Quota. Some pics. are in this "photo section", some are on...
Hi Armin, I've got no complaints with my front brakes...although the only thing I have to compare them to is my 1971 Ambassador! Even though the bike only has...
Here's my take - compared to my Monster with a radial master cylinder and twin 4 pot calipers (and the extra weight), the Quota feels like a school bus. That...

I don't have a problem with the front brake for an everyday riging and can even squeeze it to the point of locking the front wheel. What I have learned is the ...
Hey Zupi About brakes : Yes I found the original 1000 Q brakes too bad, but I still haven´t got the new brakes delivered from Italy. The job will be : Change...
Hi Zupi, For the oil question 3.5 liters of 20W50 oil for a V11 engine. Dont't know if that amount is including filter, maybe you only need 3 ltr for an oil...
