Moto Guzzi V1000 G5 Service Manual
VEHICLE/EQUIPMENT INTRODUCTION:
The Moto Guzzi V1000 G5 was the flagship touring motorcycle produced by the Italian manufacturer during the mid to late 1970s. Powered by an enlarged 949cc version of Moto Guzzi s legendary transverse 90-degree V-twin engine, the G5 was designed as a police and touring machine with exceptional torque and highway cruising capability. The longitudinal crankshaft layout produced an engine brake effect that influenced handling characteristics and gave the motorcycle its distinctive feel. Featuring shaft final drive, dual disc brakes and comfortable ergonomics, the V1000 G5 competed with the BMW R90S and Honda CB750 in the premium touring segment. This manual covers complete service procedures for the V1000 G5.
