English speaking Gileristi are welcome!

Thank you all for your wishes. Yes it is an interesting experience chasing down the CX parts. I have been in contact with Bob but unfortunately he works on a different time scale to the rest of us.
I have seen the Airtech site & it is handy to know but the body work I have is ok & I am mainly looking for cycle parts.
thanks for your suggestions

Hi,

My name is Joep and I live in Haarlem in the Netherlands. This weekend I bought an Saturno 500 from 1988. I’m super happy, but before I will ride it. I will do some checks and maintenance.

Looking forward learn all what you know about these bikes

Cheers Joep

check the timing belt, better replace it
You will need a flywheel puller which is available from Buzzetti

Buzzetti M35X1,5 ROTAX
Artikel Nr.: BZ5340

If your engine ist the original 500ccm one and not a 600ccm
If you need a guide....

hi new to gilera bikes just got this 250 need help with model and where I could locate the vin

[Joachim]

shure this has 250ccm?
Im not used to this 60s Gileras.
But for me it looks smaller

The VIN usually is located somewhere on the steering head
Mabe you will have to remove the fuel tank to find it

Thank you for the welcome! I recently learned that I like Gileras. The reason is that I found an original one-owner 1965 202 Super in Utah. It was apparently set up by the Factory, or by the Dealer, with a high handlebar, high exhaust, and light fenders. I don't think I need any parts, and I am ready to start the engine, after freeing the piston and installing new piston rings. I'd be happy to post a picture if that is acceptable.

Hello, and thank you for existing. I am in England and Gilera resources, are very scarce. More importantly, Gileristi are too rare on this side of the water

[Joachim]

hello and welcome

there are lots of Gilera son your side of the water.
You have uncle Bob as source for Gilera parts

http://www.bobwrightmotorcycles.co.uk/

More than we have here around

Beside this you had Pete Fishers GeN
Unfortunatelly he gave up the mailing list and the website
Looks like internet forums are way to oldschool and will die
Everyone ist now using the so called social media

If you need data or your Gilera the registro storico in Arcore is a good source

https://www.registrostoricogilera.org/

You will also find some workshop manuals in the net
Good luck and happy wrenching

ciao Joachim
