Purchased a 1979 1000SP. Appears to be complete but has not run since 1987. Caked with 30+ year of dust. It has been kept in a garage all of these years. Does still roll. Hauled it over to a warehouse I own for now. Will get to it when the weather breaks in late September.
This is my first Moto Guzzi. Anything I should know about it? I do have a 79 BMW R65 and while a very different bike it does provide me some familiarity with bikes from that era. Look forward to following the forum. Fork dust seals are coming off and looks like there is some corrosion around the seals. Where do I go for help with the front forks? I did get the owners manual and two keys with it but no service manual. Are they available?

Hello and welcome to the forum and to Guzzi ownership. The 1000SP is a really nice bike and should provide lots of enjoyment.
You can get manuals but you can also get a lot of information online. Try following the links below. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1138625/Moto-Guzzi-1000-Sp-Iii.html http://www.thisoldtractor.com/moto_guzzi_tonti.html |

That manual is for the SPIII, not the same bike. This will cover all the basics, and this any additional bits for the SP.

Better 5 minutes late in this world than years early in the next. |
