Moto Guzzi 1000 SP 1982 tear down for renovation

This Moto Guzzi 1000 SP 47000 km needs some care. The engine runs, but pressed out oil trough the engine ventilation, the seat foam disintegrates to a brownish powder and all rubber parts are brittle and broken. See what we find when taking her apart.

That is a beautiful canvas to start a work of art!
Love the Bues!

That will be a hard job. I wish you a "happy hand" to bring this classic MOTO GUZZI back to the road!

Danke. Im Moment renoviere ich die Kupplung. Durch den Überdruck im Motor (blockiertes Motorentlüftungsventil) hat der hintere Simmerring da Motoröl reingelassen. Ist jetzt eher eine Nasskupplung. Auch ist die Verzahnung der Schwungscheibe malträtiert / ruiniert. Eine Reibscheibe hat Schlupf von ca. 5mm hat. Die Andere ca 1 mm. Ich werde wohl nicht versuchen die Verkleidung wieder zu verwenden, da sind Halterungen abgebrochen etc. außerdem mag ich Fahrtwind im Gesicht.......

I have a gold and black SP. It needs more work than yours so I'll be following your footsteps closely. Looking good so far. Great job...

Hello Barry, are you restoring both of them or is it two makes one? Have fun restoring and once ready I wish you nice rides.

@@neophobiagarage1845 it is just one bike but two tone. In Australia it is uncommon, apparently. It was a friend's bike who owned it from new. He was older than I, so it was the first 1000cc I had ever ridden. It will take some time, but I'm looking forward to that first ride, and also taking it back to him, so he can also ride it. Thanks again for your efforts in making the video. Fantastic. All the best with the next stages. I'll be watching. 👏👏🏆

@@barrysutherland1597 ok, I get it. I know that the last SP´s were delivered in a red and white colour scheme, gold and black is new to me. I wonder how many of them made it to Australia ? Perhaps there are very few left down under. By the way have you seen this video? czcams.com/video/XOQPH0ggOh4/video.html

[@barrysutherland1597]

I spoke to the Sydney Guzzi club. No one knew of the colour scheme, so it may be rare. Apparently it came from the middle east.
