General Discussion / Valve Covers for 1200 Sport 4V from Griso
« Last post by Seweryn on Today at 04:20:29 PM »
Hi All,

Do you know if the valve covers from a 1200 Griso (2014 model year) would fit a 1200 Sport 4V (2010)?  They look very same, however the part numbers are different.

In Europe, the 4-valve 750 was a butt ugly standard more akin to the T5 in looks, while the Targa 750 had the standard 2-valve engine combined with the Lario look. Performance Bikes tested the Targa and wrote something like "The tester tried to find anything good to say about it, then it broke down".

Ah, that’s right, thanks. I keep forgetting there was the Targa and separately the V75. Dave Richardson mentions that neither were imported here.

General Discussion / V7 850, Evap Canisterectomy thread...

Hello All, I know I saw a thread on here about the removal of the EVAP canister, but for the life of me I can't seem to find it or the search function... Did I miss something?

Regards,

Roy

I kind of like the idea of the Viton with the unidirectional ribbing that helps direct oil flow back into the case (ribbed for ......).
Such a pain to get at these that I always look for the absolute best. I'll easily get 50K+ miles out of a clutch. Usually the splines start binding. Never wore the friction material off one. So I want the rear main seal to outlast the clutch.

Clarification: The Lario (4-valve) was a 650cc. The 750cc 4-valve was the Targa, but I’m not sure how many of those were sold in the States.

650: V65C, V65SP, V65TT, V65 Lario
750: none until 2004 when the Breva 750 arrived, followed by the Nevada, Classic, etc.

Yeah, but you don't rev that beauty out, so your opinion doesn't matter ;-) ;-) ;-)

You know I'm kidding........... But it is true, you don't like to flog your guzzi as it was designed to be ;-)

Fair enough. But it has hit the limiter quite often due to lack of tacho and that there is no sign of the engine letting up when the limiter kicks in.

I only know the first gen v9 personally, but I find the power surprisingly satisfying. Reading various Dyno charts,  the actual power difference seems to be less than 5hp at the wheel, but with noticeably better power below 4k rpm on the early V9. Doubly so if compared to the tt85.

There was also an earlier 650C model.  Tried to look like a mini-Eldorado with teardrop tank and big windscreen.
