Breva 1100 Pre-load settings
« on: May 15, 2017, 02:03:27 AM »
Attached is an extract from the users manual for my B11



Has anyone seen anything else from Moto Guzzi that shows the pre-load on the front forks changing with increasing weight on the bike?

I can do it from first principles, but it would be useful to see what MG thought as this looks a bit like a typo error?

Cheers FB :thumb:

All he appears to have done different to the book is wind on a tad more pre-load on the front
