Instead of loctite, you could use a very very small amount of Blue Hylomar on the thread, would provide enough "stickiness" w/o creating a locking situation. I couldn't imagine how it would spin off by itself unless it was well enough loose, or the Quota is like a paint shaker and vibrates like hell. Seems unlikely though.

Because somebody was looking at this topic, I had a look, and looked at the Avon site. It seems that they are still in the game. https://www.avontyres.com/de-de/reifen/?cartype=motorcycle

Very good idea.

No, I couldn't work out which one it was. Changing the t-shirt fooled me completely. I will refrain from comparisons to Jon Lord, because that would be silly. I had the great fortune to encounter him on a couple of jobs. Polite, friendly, a real gentleman. Musically: the second time was one of those "rock meets classic" things. The orchestra was a combination of a semi-professional orchestra and students from a commercial "music academy". The finale was a Deep Purple melody, of course. They rehearsed it once without the man, and it was all correct. Then he came on stage. First thing was, the organ sounded different (better) when he played it than when the organ-hire bloke played it after he set it up. How does that work? A Hammond organ is a machine. You push a button, and a noise comes out. And on top of that, the rehearsal without was, as I said, correct. With him playing along, all of a sudden it also grooved. One man pulled an entire orchestra into the groove. Not bad, I reckon... So it would be silly to draw comparisons between a teenage girl and someone like that. The same applies to the guitarist that played the solos. She has potential, but needs a few years. Ritchie Blackmore was an experienced and creative guitarist when that song was produced. No comparison, so no comment.

Please include a little more information

You said you did not check this when it came back from the service center? We have no way to know if it was tight or not? Get it about as snug as you would reseal a 2 liter soda. Put a dob of yellow paint pencil on it and run it a while and see what happens. I can't see what the hose clamp is doing so I can't comment on it.

I reinstalled it, and I tightened it by hand. Its a very fine thread, not sure how it could come loose in the first place. But I did not check it when the instruments came back from Germany.

You may have noticed the bass player is also the keyboard player...

Not in a million years. If that retaining nut is working loose all the time then there is an issue with the threads on the nut. It shouldn't need any thread locker at all. Your set up looks a bit of a lash up with the screw clamp, obviously not standard. Phil

Art it is . Cheers Tom.

If you claim that it is art, then no-one will criticise it. In fact, I rather like photos that are taken into the light.

Ahh, I wondered about the colour. A different colour alone would explain the different part number, even if it is actually physically the same part.

No measurement, looks the same. Black colored, looks different, sure the same. Cheers Tom. Sent fra min SM-S906B via Tapatalk

Anyone with early and later V11s that could compare the sidestands, er "side-by-side" ?

Realy bad picture. Cheers Tom. Sent fra min SM-S906B via Tapatalk

The little dude is tireless and shows some real soul in his playing. Best for all of them that he keeps his time locked with the bass. I've played with some drummers that wouldn't lock-on. After a while, everyone just packs up and goes home. In all honesty, though, our bass player is just not that cute.

Yes, he is very good. And not just bashing away, he is focussed on the bass player, and she is doing a pretty flash job of it too, I reckon. What say you @docc

I'm pretty sure loctite only works between metal surfaces. The data sheet here appears to confirm that. From the product description https://www.farnell.com/datasheets/24239.pdf EDIT PS: further evidence that loctite doesn't cure against plastic is that the cap on the bottle never gets glued on like, for instance, the one on the super glue tube does.

Maybe not. The parts lists at Wendel in Berlin show a change in the part number, at least for the "stick", around 2002. Subsequent lists refer to "Seitenständer V11 neu", i.e. "sidestand V11 new". The first version, part no. GU02432100 https://wendelmotorraeder.de/fussrasten-v11-sportmandello-99-01-ex-30_3006_300602_30060201_3006020110_300602011003.html https://wendelmotorraeder.de/fussrasten-v11-nakedle-manns-01-02-ex-30_3006_300602_30060202_3006020210_300602021003.html and the new version, part no. GU01432190 https://wendelmotorraeder.de/fussrasten-staender-v11-02-le-mansskura-ex-30_3006_300602_30060203_3006020310_300602031003.html https://wendelmotorraeder.de/fussrasten-staender-v11-03-04-corsa-ex-30_3006_300602_30060204_3006020410_300602041003.html https://wendelmotorraeder.de/fussrasten-staender-v11-03-05-cafballabio-ex-30_3006_300602_30060205_3006020510_300602051003.html However it seems that the new version might fit on the earlier models. Stein-Dinse only lists the newer part number. There is a comment in the list and in the listing in their shop "Nachfolgeprodukt für Artikel: 02432100", i.e. "replacement product for article: 02432100" https://www.stein-dinse.com/de/moto-guzzi-seitenstaender-v11-le-mans-naked-ballabio/item-2-1020771-01432190-.html and under "Geeignet für" i.e. "suitable for" they list pretty much all the V11 Models. The thlot pickens....

I know that YT is full of these talented kids, one better than the next. I relate to that, because I tried to teach guitar to my son when he was 5 years old, and I could never get him interested, even if he did pretty well, as I was trying to get him to like it. I was in awe watching the little guy playing the drums in that humpteenth cover of the Deep Purple highway star...

Just the "stick"/ #1 : SIDE STAND (#01432190), or some/all of the whole Rube Goldberg mechanism? All sidestands were the same throughout the 1999-2005 V11 SpineFrame range?

The plastic screw cap that connects the angled gear of my Quota Speedometer/Odometer came undone yesterday as I was riding. I took this photo prior to sending both instruments to Casa di Moto in Germany, for rejuvenation fixing the jerky Tachometer. I saw the worm screw clamp, but did not mess with it. I sent it as is, so it could be checked by Casa di Moto. Should I use mild loctite to prevent it to unscrew itself again? or the garden hose clamp the ultimate solution?

I did the GOM/GOA? stops yesterday, and literally froze myself on the trip back home.... I only checked the weather punctually, and did not anticipate the huge drop in temperature as the afternoon went on. I stopped a bit at Corpus Christi to observe the new bridge construction... impressive! The Quota fuel mileage is a lot better than that of the V11: 45 mpg! According to the triplog App, the total mileage was 443 miles. The gear lever issue was defintively solved; however, the connection to the Speedo/Odometer fell off. It unscrewed itself. I now understand why all the other connections had worm screw clamps on them...
