- The last video of this 3 part series, which included engine out, clutch replacement, various repairs, brake pads, oil seals, exhausts, etc
This job had some challenges which we overcome. I hope you enjoyed the videos.
Thanks for posting! This is the difference between a "Mechanical Engineer" and a "Fitter!"
It’s been a pain but now I can run it for 10 more years 🤪 thanks Mel
I'm glad I video this for you, there's no way you would have believe the amount of work that went into this bike. Definitely not a driveway job. 😂😉😣
@@melsmotors nope! Not with a 4x2m garage with no specialist tools 😂
I watched all three parts of this video with great interest.
You, sir, are one fantastic mechanic.
Just awesome.
Brilliant!
Thank you for your comment and thanks for watching 🙂👍
Real old school engineering - fixing stuff properly. Awesome series, you made it look so easy. I hope my Griso never needs that amount of work in one hit!
Thanks for watching Hugh 😊👍
Nice workman ship ,very informative 😊
I love this tutorial as well, thank you Mel!
Thanks for watching, 👍😊
Enjoyed this series.
Thanks for the feedback James 👍
The 8 valve motors look to be way more complex than the 4 valve. The oil pump gear wasn't plastic or nylon was it?
With the very greatest of respect you turned a comparatively simple job into a huge, time consuming, disaster.
I appreciate you work on many different types of vehicle. I know that salt on roads can cause corrosion issues. But taking the motor off the front of the gearbox? You opened yourself to a world of pain.
Just start at the back and work forward. It's simple. On a Griso I, or my mechanic, can have a motive unit out and the gearbox off in a leisurely, I dunno, two hours max. No removal of the alternator or timing chest. Access to the swingarm bearings, which on this bike will certainly be ruined, along with at least some of the shock linkage bearings.
With the swingarm out of the way, a matter of about twelve fasteners, the clutch slave is immediately accessible with none of the hassle you experienced.
Sometimes, actually always with a Guzzi, trying to avoid removing one or two components can make an otherwise straightforward job an unholy disaster! I'm not criticising your work, truly, but your methodology is deeply flawed.
Appreciate your feedback, thanks for watching and commenting 🙂👍
Very well done and thank you for such an informative video!! can you please tell me where the clutch master cylinder is positioned? Thanks in advance!!
I Silvio, I guess you mean the clutch slave cylinder as the master cylinder is at the left lever! The slave cylinder is at the back of the gearbox between the back cover and the rear suspension, you can see it in this video ua-cam.com/video/IfAwUhQxKNM/v-deo.html at about 8.30 minutes.
I hope this helps
@@melsmotors thank you!! You've been really helpful.
@@silviomifsud8200 Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂👍
Have you got a video of a roller conversion from the flat tappet 8 valve engine. This would be essential viewing for those with the old flat tappet engine.
Sadly no, if one comes up I'll be sure to video it.
Damn really nice work! Makes me dread the day if my Guzzi ever needs the clutch replaced. I'm on the other side of the pond but just curious if it was just a clutch replacement, no other issues with the bike, what would have something like that cost on this Griso?
Thanks for your comments, there were no other issues with the bike. If you buy a spoked wheel version and ride it hard, the spokes tend stretch and then lets the air out of the wheels, the spokes have rubber 'O' rings for sealing, they are tubeless tyres! Thought you might want to know ☺
@@melsmotors Very interesting fact! I never even thought about that before and that makes total sense. I appreciate the insight!
Hi Mel, what a fantastic series of videos, I have a Griso and its in good order but watching these, although costly, I would take it to shop like yours myself. I have other older Guzzis and tinker with those but what a project this has been, fantastic work. Question, why so much detoriation with the nuts and threaded studs etc, is it the weather and salt thrown on the roads over there or just Guzzi with shitty quality materials? Great work mate. P.S. Guzzi are notorious for poor parts supply. Cheers, Glenn. Hunter Valley, Australia.
Hi Glenn, Thanks for your feedback. Road salt is always an issue with all year round bikers, regardless of how often you wash the bike, it still gets into tight places. Steel into Ali is never a great combination, cheap screws with very weak coating. More videos coming and hit the bell notification 👍😊🏍
Any chance you know where I can find a video to change the clutch cable on a 750 Breva?
Hi Mark, absolutely no idea, sorry. There's a manual here for it www.manualslib.com/manual/2868053/Moto-Guzzi-Breva-V1100.html?page=1#manual
👍
Hope moto guzzi sends their engine engineer to japan to learn how clutch design is made. Moto guzzi is using fiat 127 clutch since 70 years never changed even in california 1400 model.
Yes it very old school, but keeps me in work. Thanks for watching and commenting ☺👍
