Is that engine developed off the Versys 650, or something diff.??

Not sure...?? but I believe you might be correct. 

For sure, they borrowed the design from a modern Kawasaki twin-cylinder Z650 DOHC engine...

General Discussion / Nevada 750 clutch job

« Last post by WildGuzziNicholas on July 12, 2025, 11:10:05 AM »

Anyone done a clutch on a Nevada 750? My throw rod bearing is going out I think. Could be something else but from what I understand the throw rod bearing is the culprit. What else could it be? When I pull my clutch in it starts to squeal. Might as well do the whole clutch while I'm down there. Any way to get to it without taking the whole engine out?

Moto,
I found the neutral indicator switch and it well. I cleaned it and reattached it. The difficult part was getting the R/R cover back on. it took me a while.

Great info on LEDs, Roy, StuCorpe and PGPR01.  The neutral bulb on my 2003 was not making contact. It was a matter of pinching the receiving wires and realigning the little wires on the bulb itself. 

I am going take your suggestion on the LEDs. I switched to LEDs on my 79 Fiat Spider dash and it made a grand difference in lamination, especially at night.  Right now I am trying to make my EV 1100 California rode worthy for my ride to Ontario and back home.

IMHO, owning a 50 year old product should make any manufacturer smile. It's a testament to their reliability, R&D, quality, etc. Heck, if I'm running the marketing department for them, I'm going to try and figure out a way to get the message out to the masses. For example, there's commercials regarding pickups that goes something like "the longest lasting, most dependable pickups on the road".

Guzzi should mimick that and have multiple pictures or short clips of old high-mileage bikes in it and finish with a short slogan.

Then, open more dealerships so people don't have to drive all day to visit one
