The fork oil should be replaced every two years, so I was a year overdue. Fortunately the Breva 1100 forks are quite simple to work on. After a bit of a struggle getting them out – I had to use a screwdriver to lever open the handlebar pinch clamps – the old fork oil poured out as clean as a whistle.
Washed out the sliders with kerosene, let them drain, then poured in 450ml of the new Penrite Fork Oil 10.
Reassembled the front end. A couple of hours’ work. Test run tomorrow.

Did you check the doofalicky? It’s very important to do that because they have a tendency to fatigue. Just saying 😀
Stop it, Larry. You know every Guzzi owner has his limitations.
Hehe
Good on you for posting this work description . It’s clear and gives me the confidence to have a go myself. Interesting to hear how the 10 w fork oil went . I think guzzi says 5 w. But a little bit of firming up in the front end won’t go astray 👍😎 cheers Alan
