General Discussion / Re: Ring gear teeth chewed up.

Seeing that you have it all apart, it would be crazy not to replace it.


You don't want to reassemble everything and then dismantle it again to change it when it fails, the hours it will take is not worth the cost of a new (or good used) gear.

General Discussion / 🥶good weather for detailing

« Last post by Ncdan on Today at 09:13:36 AM »

Looks like the majority of us will not be doing much outside the next few days. I just told KBallowe it’s a good time to gather up some old tooth brushes, Qtips, smoking pipe cleaners and do some fine detaining in his herd.
What are you guys planning to do with your bikes the next several days??
Anyway, stay warm and dress in layers if going out!

There used to be a Guzzi cartoonist in EU that made plenty.

General Discussion / Re: working on an 850t without wheels

« Last post by Moparnut72 on Today at 09:08:16 AM »

I am currently rebuilding a T3. I am using a combination of a chain hoist from a gantry track, floor jack, center stand and a small motorcycle lift depending what I am doing. I just ordered two new tires an hour ago so it will be on the wheels shortly. The bike was an absolute mess, semi basket case, it has obviously been apart before. Quite a few SAE fasteners and the wiring has been all hacked to hell. First Guzzi I have done so I have had to back track a couple of times.

General Discussion / Hilarious AI Moto Guzzi Cartoons

« Last post by willowstreetguzziguy on Today at 09:02:07 AM »

I was playing around with ChatGPT AI and asked it to create a “really funny cartoon” of me and my Guzzi 1200 Sport. I’m a graphic designer/artist and it is amazing how AI can create these hilarious cartoons from 2 photos in a matter of three minutes each. I love how it created the face on my 1200 Sport and the deer in the background!

 How about posting your AI generated cartoons with your Moto Guzzi? (remember to say “really funny “if you wanna have a good hard laugh!)



This could keep us laughing for a long long time!

At least if it does break down (seriously, hopefully not!), then you can say:
"Ayah Bassa!"

Is this the sensor?

It says it's for the Bassa, but describes it as the "Phase sensor, timing sensor, revolution sensor, cam wheel sensor,engine position sensor".

I have the clutch and throttle cables that I installed replacements for. Will bring them.

yes, that’s it.
Bring spare relays they can all interchange so one or two will suffice.
Bassa’s rock!

I wouldn't hesitate a second and have done exactly that type of trip a few times on a 98 EV, most pulling a small trailer to boot. The generation of Guzzis from 1998 to 2001 are the most reliable they've ever built IMHO. I'd trust them long before I would the newer setups, just based on my overall experience.

Hopefully start with a new back tire and back brake pads. Check wheel bearings for any signs of roughness.Bring a tps and a crank sensor because you won’t need one if you have one. Check the connections on the yellow wires behind the voltage regulator. They get corroded and can take out the voltage regulator. It’ll be a good trip.

All the relays on my 2001 Jackal went out in the past 8 months or so. I'd replace all of them with good ones from Pryo Dan.
Add an extra ground when you renew the rectifier.  I did the entire charging system-rotor, stator, and rectifier at the same time.  I also removed all fuses, and, at the time relays and cleaned everything real good with DeOxit.

Point is, get all the little crap done at home while it's easy.  I did all new bulbs, too.  Also, have you hooked up a meter to the battery to see how far it drops when starting?
