If you don't have a lift like Mike then let the air out of the tyre then when you pull the hanger out drop the wheel down and tilt the bike away from you on the Stan carful not to push her over. Should be able to wangle out the wheel.
Thanks for sharing this valuable video. Mike. Doyou know why my Guzzi V7 pushes more air out of the left muffler then the right one? In other words, if I put my hands behind the mufflers while the engine is on, I feel that the left muffler expels air with more compression than the right. The bike has 1000miles brand new and valves were adjusted for the first scheduled maintenance. Thank you
Great video! I will definitely use this information when I change tires. Quick question you may be able to answer: My (new to me) LM IV 1985 has issues with blinkers. Would you happen to know where the turn signal relay is located? would it be inside the fairing? thank you.
The SP was a good all round tourer in its day. It had good handling and brakes for the era, good torque and a reputation for long life. If you want something old school it might be worth a look.
I think it's more muffler design. Nothing seems to top the sound of an old school pair of Lafranconi mufflers. The only modern system that came close for me was a full Staintune system with carbon mufflers on a Guzzi Daytona. It sounded fantastic.
I'm guessing this applies to most Guzzis. I've got the MGX-21 and didn't realize removal would be that straightforward! Thanks for the video!

I'm learning about my lemans all the time, my other bike is a BM 1150rt & I now understand German, I just need to learn Italian 👍
Very helpful video. Thanks !! I can use it for my 650 Lario, wich is nearly the same, apart form the engine, of course. Regards.
Would this procedure basically be the same for my 2000 V11 Bassa? Very good video.

From memory it's located under the right hand side side cover.
Swinging arm looks weird, braced? Just cam area trick?
It's braced. One of the many mods by previous owners.
Off topic, but where did you get that bike lift?
The lift is made by Kendon. I did a review on it a couple of years back.

SP1000NT, I found a nice example with 45k for $4300.00 your thoughts on that particular bike.

@@MikesMachines it looks great for its age. Do carburated Guzzies sound better than f.I. or is it just me?
