It was never intended to be a repair or service manual , more of a *what fits what* general reference , along with some basic history . Keep digging , it contains lots of interesting details . After reading it , if it doesn't give you the desired info , someone will buy it . Dusty
It was never meant to be that type of a manual, but rather to supplement the factory manual. Have you seen these? They'll probably be more help (as would joining the Loopframe Guzzi Yahoo group https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Loopframe_Guzzi/info).http://thisoldtractor.com/moto_guzzi_loopframe_workshop_manuals___shop_manuals___service_manuals.html
The purpose and benefit of Guzziology is that it contains a lifetime of hands-on experience to provide a lot of information not found in a how-to shop manual. Guzzi is a quirky machine. You cannot always go by the official "book" when dealing with one. .
I bet there ain't nothing in the book I can't get from asking a question here and a quick response from the guys on this forum:)
from people who have read Guzziology and committed it to memory.
OMG, the amount of product knowledge and what fits what in Guzziology is simply not repeated anywhere else. You too could learn it independently, but like I always say, any education cost money. $50 is cheap.
Add this also to your Favorites. These are all great sources. I have used them extensively and find them very help full. Along with the V11 Sport Forum.https://archive.guzzitech.com/
One of the best shop manuals I ever had was for a 1973 Kawasaki. For example, it went on for pages on how to redo the valve seats and why. It even gave a detail description of why the brake piston seals and the seal grooves are shaped they way they are shaped. Very exact on how to get the bike back to original specs.But, Guzziology is not supposed to be that. If is filled with tips and tricks. Gives info on the transmission ratios of one Guzzi to another. What carb needles tend to work best in which bike. It provides info for someone that may want to 'hack' the specs a bit.Very different, and very useful in both cases.
Jeez that’s gotta be a pain.If Roper and Beetle jointly wrote a book I’d pay twice that, especially if it focussed on stuff we have around these days. Would sell a lot I’d imagine.Entertaining too..
