Hi Jan, vielleicht kannst Du mir einen Tip geben, den ich nirgendwo im Internet finde. Ich möchte die hinteren Blinker tauschen, da die Originalen schwache Funzeln sind. Ich habe alle 7 Schrauben an der hinteren Plastikverkleidung rausgeschraubt, aber die Abdeckung hängt immer noch an 2 Schrauben an die man aber nicht rankommt. Wie bekommt man die bitte gelöst ? Ist mir ein absolutes Rätsel. Vielen Dank !
Könnten das die 2 Schrauben vom Schloss der Verriegelung der Sitzbank sein? Ansonsten helfen diese Explosionszeichnungen: wendelmotorraeder.de/moto-guzzi-ersatzteile-und-zubehoer-850-ccm-v85-modelle-c-30_3004_300422.html
@@janguzzi Danke für Deine Antwort. Die 2 Schrauben von der Sitzbankverriegelung sind es leider nicht. Auf einer der Zeichnungen sieht man die Abdeckung und die 9 Schrauben. Die 7 Schrauben sind leicht zugänglich, die anderen 2 Schrauben (oben) werden von der Abdeckung verdeckt und man kommt nicht ran. Das ist echt ein Witz ! Ich reiss das Teil jetzt mit Gewalt ab. Bin stinksauer ! Wer denkt sich sowas aus ?

Did this make a noticeable difference? Ive add a couple of rubber washers behind the lower windscreen mount to adjust the angle, it has helped a bit but not fully. I have a Puig touring screen which stops the noise but causes a bit of buffeting.
I had incredible dirt inside airbox even after only 300km. I did it exactly your way 10,000 km ago. Yesterday, I opened the airbox, and it was as clean inside as new. Your advice works like a charm. Thank you.
Hi, thanks for the great videos. I’m thinking of doing the same on my V85tt, can you please advise how many of each clamps I need, and the size of the replacement bolt. Many thanks.
2x Piaggio GU93305057 (Romablok 57x59,5x10) + 1x Throttle body: KTM 61036048000 (GEMI 66/1 05). The M4 screw for the KTM clamp is maybe 5-10 mm longer than the one which comes with the clamp.
@@janguzzi Thanks for the quick response, that’s perfect, and your English is perfect as well. I’m from the UK, but don’t know any German, well maybe auf wiedersehen.. Thanks again.
@@janguzzi I was going to put one in the comments, but RU-vid doesn't allow it. I don't have a photo hosting capability, so email or Facebook or something else maybe?
@@janguzzi Hi, I've uploaded some images to imgbb as you suggested. The account is Shadiestsmile if you can view them, please let me know. The handguard extensions are what I cut from the screen.
Don’t we miss a spoken comment ? Now I know it is a mechanical system with centrifugal force displacing balls that force a disc forward that takes along a pin in the camshaft. What exactly happens with the camshaft ? Is there some sort of Bendix built it ? Do both cams move ? Forward or backwards ? How many degrees ? Am I right thinking they move a little forward so everything stays a little more on the safe side at higher revs ?
I just put together some images I found on the www. I guess it is similar to this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VofnlSAith0.html Further info: www.af1racing.com/ProdImages/st3/ZGUMLUA0.pdf www.mcnews.com.au/moto-guzzi-v85-strada-review-v85-tt-v85-tt-travel-motorcycle-test/ www.motorradonline.de/enduro/moto-guzzi-v85-tt-travel-strada-neu-2024-fahrtest/
Hi there, can’t hate the guzzis 😂. I wonder if you had leaking oil from cylinder gasket ever, and maybe some experience on replacing the cylinder gasket
UPDATE: The airbox cover of the new 2024 models has indeed been improved, but unfortunately it does not fit into the previous E4 and E5 models. The shape of the back is more protruding - the bevel is not there. Meanwhile the spare parts catalogs for the E5+ (2024) models are available online, e.g.: wendelmotorraeder.de/moto-guzzi-spare-parts-and-accessories-850-cc-v85-models-c-30_3004_300422.html www.af1racing.com/v85-e5-oem-parts-catalogs These parts could solve the problem: 1. battery box: 2B011780 2. battery holder: 2B011781 + 3x AP8150509 self-tap screw 5x14 3. filter holder (aka airbox lid): 2B011834
Tengo que decir que... Hice un viaje por Marocco de 15 días + 2000km por la Península Ibérica la pasada primavera y... El receptáculo estaba impoluto. Uso el KN y Vaselina para sellar las juntas ;-p) Quizá podría estudiar modificaciones en las ranuras de toma de aire de la caja porque ellas están algo bajas si te acercas al agua ( comparada con otras motos que tienen el filtro muy arriba ) pero también es verdad que nunca lo he necesitado
Haha, it's great that you mentioned that license plate issue. Mine stopped working after 1300 miles :) btw: I saw your other video. Did you buy a V85TT Filter Box spacers from GammaZinkel, or did you go just with MG-1315 K&N REPLACEMENT AIR FILTER? Cheers Karel
@@janguzzi, I am curious about the new 2024 version overall. From the pictures, it looks pretty pretty, and I hope that they mitigated some of the issues on the current bike, poor wind management, for instance..
Hi. I forwarded a knocking claim to Piaggio, and their response (after big involvment of their technicians) highlighted dirt in the throttle body and out-of-range injection parameters. I wanted to share their explanation: "The decision to clean (throttle body)and reset (injection) was made due to the injection system parameters being out of range caused by dirt accumulation in the throttle body. The accumulation of dirt t is connected to various factors always linked to the use and maintenance conditions.”
I'm just hoping that the V100 doesn't turn out to be a fiasco too. Quality issues are surfacing but as far as I can tell, nothing this serious, so far.......
Thank you for the video; I'm hoping to purchase a Griso soon, so looking at maintanance videos like yours to get some idea of what needs attention. Apart from the "swooosh", do blocked vents have any impact on how the bike runs?
Good 👍 info mate , sound exclamation would of been nice 👍, but was very well laid out ( as the saying goes a picture specks a thousand words 😂😂😂) Another Filter that I’m getting developed by uni - Filter Australia ( we’re I live ) is a form filter . Hopefully will be teasing it , in about 2 weeks . They make fantastic filters for Australian dusty conditions. ( they are wash out with filter form oil - dust sticks to the oil . )
I admire how you found flaw, but then you fit a K&N filter thats lets dirt in through its filtration systems, these are pure and simple snake oil products on road vehicles, fine in competition environment where engine rebuilds are regular and performance is paramount
I know that there is a real religious war in the www/on RU-vid on the subject of paper filters/K&N/BMC, etc. I had hoped that I would be spared with my little contribution. Well then ... I think you will not get any extra performance just with exchanging an air filter element. This needs a remapping of the injection based by dyno tests + much much more (e.g. exhaust system). You might get a "sound tuning" caused by higher airflow. Whether an oiled cotton filter lets through more dirt than a paper filter, depends certainly, on many factors. Above all, it must be cleaned and oiled regularly and is therefore more expensive in the long run. I wanted to show here that the better sealing by the K&N filter (or its frame) helps against the poor airbox design.
Totally agree with you, in the first service with the original filter I found dust in the filter box, in the second service with a K&N filter the box was completely clean.
I have 2003 California EV. I can't get Guzzidiag to connect. I followed everything thing else using my fluke multimeter and it runs good but I am sure it is not perfect. On my lonelec the RX and TX do not light up but the USB and PWR do. I have tried every model of California with no luck.
my 1979 Moto Guzzi, SP 1000 2 valve engine also had pitted lifters. The lifters were pitted. Where are they ride on the cam shaft.. I replaced the lifters at approximately 35,000 miles back in the day. I did not commute in stop and go traffic with that machine. That was my weekend. Get far away on back roads machine. It did not spend a lot of time idling. I used Castrol 20 W 50 motor oil. That was the old school motor oil before the government asked car manufacturers and oil companies to do something to get more miles per gallon , And the result in around 1989 was to thin the oil out.. Oil has friction. The thicker, the oil, the higher the friction. If they can get every car in the United States to get just one more mile out of every tank full of gasoline, that would mean millions of gallons of gasoline saved every day just from that one little thing which they did. They did that by reducing the amount of zinc and phosphorus in the additives package. Zinc and phosphorus are the two things that give oil what is known as film strength, resistance to sheer. We’re two pieces come together like a cam lobe and a lifter face., that is about the most severe area of sheer in a car engine, or a truck engine. But, that is nothing compared to the shearing that takes place in a motorcycle transmission on motorcycle engines that use one oil to lubricate both the engine and the transmission. Motorcyclist magazine printed an article about the changes made to car oils in around 1989. They explained that you must use motorcycle specific oil in your motorcycle engine if it uses one oil to do both the transmission and the engine lubrication. but these Moto Guzzi engines do not subject the engine oil to the transmission torture chamber for oil. Motorcycle engines run much cooler than you think compared to car engines. just picture a car on a 95° day in rush-hour traffic with five passengers in the air conditioner on. That oil can exceed 450°F. The highest motorcycle engine oil temperatures I ever heard of was 270°. You may think they are hot because you are closer to the engines but they do not run hotter than cars… So their oil does not get hotter.. The valve train lubrication area is the first area to suffer from poor lubrication or oil that is worn out.. in the 1980s, the Honda V4 engines used in the saver, and the interceptors had a severe camshaft scoring issue. The fix was it a kit that included additional oil flow through a braided steel Oil hose.. proving once again, the top end, the valve train is the first thing to suffer in engines with marginal lubrication.. The engine in my personal ram 1500 hemi pick up truck is known for a lifter boil related problems. If the truck does a lot of idling once the truck reaches around 80,000 miles or higher… so these lubrication issues that these Guzy engines are experiencing or nothing new, and nothing unique just to moto guzzi.. in fact, I have a 1958 mga 1500 that I have owned since I was 16 years old back in 1968. I still have the car here in 2023. I had the engine rebuilt to completely stock in 1974 when I had the car restored. The engine builder told me that it needed new lifters because they were slightly pitted. I still have a new box of OEM MG, Lockheed lifters that I need to put in there when I find time to get around to it… camshaft and lifters are always the first things to show signs of wear due to idling and lack of oil changes or lack of high-quality oils.. I personally do not put additives in any of the oils i use.. especially when I learned things like, STP, is nothing but pure, raw refined petroleum before it was classified or had any additives package add to it with anti-foaming agent, anti-corrosion Additives, polymers to put it into a specific weight range, it is the dough petroleum that you start with to bake a cake. That’s all it is. It has no additives in it. Or something like whynns friction perform.or Bardol, VBA. Those products are more than 90% kerosene… so you can’t really go by the hype of advertisers. You have to find out if there is something you can add to the oil to give it a higher film stregnth.. it might even be a good idea to run motorcycle four stroke oil from Europe. AGIP i ride oils.. my last Moto Guzzi was a Norge to valve engine. The owners manual called for10 W 60 motor oil. And I used AGIP 10 W 60 oil.. I ran that motorcycle for 14 years on that oil. I never pulled the lifters, but the valves never really went out of adjustment even though I checked them at least every 2500 miles. And when I drained my engine oil, I drained the oil over a magnet through a cheesecloth, and I did not. Detect an unusual amount of metal particles in the oil at every oil change.. magnetic or nonmagnetic.. with the Internet hyping every little flaw in every vehicle out there, mama it’s tough to find a vehicle that does not have some type of Achilles’ heel no matter how slight.. this isn’t a big problem like back in the day when I was a Honda mechanic at a dealership. And I want to send a bulletin to all the service departments all their dealers instructing in the parts department to Stocks seven camshaft and top and gasket kits for every 10 motorcycles that dealership sells… Those Honda, CB 350 twins were really drunk. I got so fast at changing the camshaft under warranty, and those machines, that I could have a camshaft out of an engine and hand it to the Partman before the camshaft was cool enough to hold with bare hands.. those engines were a mechanics dream. I could do four camshaft jobs per day. I could get paid 48 hours pay in eight hours because I was a flat rate mechanic… That’s if we had the parts. The hardest part of that job was scraping the head gasket and base gasket.. It was better if the motorcycle engines blew up out of warranty, because warranty did not pay as much as the flat rate manual paid Mechanics… If I had one of these 4 valve, Moto Guzzi’s.. I would use agip oil, I would avoid idling, and I would change the oil often, and run it till it blows,call and then fix it. I wonder of having the camshaft lobes, especially polished would cure this issue up.. or possibly slightly weaker valve springs?
I've been following your video to the letter! Do I balance the TB's with the adjuster under the tank at 3k rpm, or the adjuster on the left hand TB? Thanks, Russ.
Hi , ein ,,Meisterwerk" was du da vollbracht hast , könntest direkt bei ner Guzzi Werkstatt anfangen, die nehmen dich mit Kusshand - ich stehe kurz davor ,mir eine zu kaufen ( bj. 2008 ) aber ich habe weder solche Kenntnisse noch eine Garage 😢 hoffentlich wird es gutgehen- liebe Grüße aus Köln
