The Guzzi Owners Club in UK had some translations of manuals done by Laurie North a few years back. This is what it says about the Falcone in the workshop manual which might be some help. I don't know if there were any mechanical differences between Astore & Falcone? As far as the translation says it seems to imply the Astore was just a more luxurious version of the Falcone wth only cosmetic differences to make it more of a "gentleman's grand tourer".
