Ray Petty Meccanica services, repairs and restores Moto Guzzi motorcycles at its workshop in Greenwich, London, especially the classic big twins: the Le Mans, V7 Sport, 750S, 850T and T3, California and SP. Ray has worked on Italian motorcycles for 35 years, and built the custom Moto Guzzi "Airtail" for Death Machines of London.

Classic Guzzis, looked after properly

Moto Guzzi's transverse V-twin, with its shaft drive and cylinders sticking out into the breeze, is one of the great engines in motorcycling. It's tough and long-lived, but it rewards someone who knows it: carburettors balanced, valves and timing set, the shaft drive and gearbox looked after, and the linked brakes on the T3 and Le Mans set up properly.

Whether you ride yours every week or it's coming out of a long sleep, we'll keep it running the way it should.

What riders say about RPM

“Ray took the time to answer 2 calls from me, one before buying a 1977 Moto Guzzi Le Mans Mk1 and the other after purchasing it. [...] FREE advice and turning away business are rare traits these days.”

Moto Guzzi questions

Which Moto Guzzis do you work on?

Mainly the classic big twins: V7 Sport, 750S, 850T and T3, Le Mans Mk I to Mk V, California, SP and their relatives.

My Guzzi won't idle after being laid up. What's wrong?

Usually gummed-up idle jets from old fuel left in the carburettors. Cleaning and balancing the carburettors normally cures it, and we'll check the ignition and fuel system while we're at it.

Do you restore Moto Guzzis?

Yes, from sympathetic recommissioning to full ground-up restoration. See restoration.

Can you check a Guzzi before I buy it?

Yes, free of charge. See pre-purchase inspections.
