That will do me until I'm 80 - I hope!

It'll be heavier to push around and overall bulkier- just saying.

Mine is skulking in the back of the garage, under cover and listed for sale (at the moment).



The pic above doesn't do it justice; it's actually kinda scabby.  Not my primary machine however.

Thanks, Patrick!
And because I'm a clueless noob, this hole is on the right side of the engine? So the rear wheel is to the left (ring gear side) in Dave's and your photos??

If it was me, I'd dump the oil and install new oil then ride it for a while and see what happens. I'd also lower the idle and see if that makes it any better.

Transmission will shift a little nicer with fresh oil but changing oil won't affect the clunk/lurch going into 1st. Lowering the idle might help a little but is that even possible?

I'm going to sell the 2004 Breva and get a new V7 850, probably the Sport model. I put 70,000 miles on the first Breva, and 22,000 on this one, and still think they are a great bike, but I have an opportunity that shouldn't be passed up to get a more capable bike, a very good looking bike, and to support Guzzi. So I'm going to take it. I'll likely fit it out with HB hard luggage and a centre stand and maybe a small screen and thats it. That will do me until I'm 80 - I hope!

Its probably fine but you never know unless you look. I had one with about 60 k miles that had been installed slightly crooked somehow, I don’t remember how but it started making a noise. It was a Valtek aftermarket. I suspect the strong spring gave the installer trouble. The blade was not quite parallel with the chain so I think it was bent. If its the original, I’d probably leave it unless it gets noisy or your in there to replace a seal or something. I don’t think it’s like the older ones that the rubbing strip deteriorates.

General Discussion / Re: 07 Norge Dash Errors

« Last post by blackcat on July 01, 2025, 11:42:58 AM »

Turned on the switch and got a service warning, went to the dash errors and the 07 error was the only thing wrong and successfully erased it! Weird but I have no idea what happened. Maybe just some mating issue with the new dash?

Now I just have to figure out why it’s throwing a warning with a brand new oil switch unless I just got a bad switch.
