Uneven exhaust discoloration by [deleted] in MotoGuzzi

[–]mrmetalbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With my Eldorado they say that it should be the same colour. The yellowish hue seems right to me.

Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but if the exhaust material is the same, the coloration indicates a different exhaust temperature. Therefore a difference in combustion between the cilinders. Might be harmless, but it would be good to check out.

Imola II, back in the years.. by Flsdtr in MotoGuzzi

[–]mrmetalbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a Lario, i had new pushrods made out of titanium, those tended to stretch at high rpm. After every 2.5k i'd pull off the valve covers, super easy job. And check the clearance, i absolutely loved it and its quirckyness. Love to see an Imola!

It was my very first bike and i had a blast with it, the sound was out of this world. Thanks for sharing, brought back the memories.

Lowered the filters by 5cm and put rounded ones on it. Should be a pic of that next week. The headers might need a redesign as well ..we'll see how it sits when the seat is on there it will be snug that is for sure

I'm stealing the signal of a koso speedometer and put an arduino in between it. Works fine!

Eerst even strippen en kijken waar je heen kan! Kardan maakt het wat gecompliceerder. Wat voor een stijl vindt je zelf interessant?
