Blast from the past: with the Rossa on the Nordschleife in 2016...

My Nordschleife (or Eifel)-tool.... probably the wildest bike I will ever own....

Italian wiring-where would we be without them? Connections/earths/rust/ wiring brittle with age - all these maladies befall some Italian stuff. If the bike was stored somewhere chilly for a Winter or 2 then issues will follow. Ignition switch on my own V11 was in very poor shape internally, rewired and now much better but still the odd time nothing happens when starter button pressed - when we are all dead and gone our spiritual grandsons will be asking each other what the phuck is wrong with their old Moto Guzzis. If you need a laugh have a look at some original wiring on 70s Italian stuff - very little left original now cos folks wanted to get about on them but if you get a chance take a peek. Take it as part of the fun of running a left of field beast-its not wired to the standard of BMW that's for sure.

The manual doesn't mention a minimum thickness for friction or steel plates but new plates are 8mm from what i've seen on MG cycles website. So worn out would be be anything under 7.5mm i'd imagine. Ciao

As some may know the CARC bikes use a remote breather from the slave cylinder to a bleed nipple up under the seat. I'm sure it would be very easy to fabricate something similar for the V11 and it makes bleeding the clutch a breeze.

Looks like V11scura02sport has a Scura and we all know about the flywheel issue within the clutch assembly. Perhaps this what concerns him? How about one of our multi-lingual, or Spanish speaking, members help out our new friend?

holy moly......delivering the mail

Must be dangerous bit of road, notice the spectator benches either side.

yes, if someone can tell me what dimensions the clutch pastes of a scura v11 have, they would be very useful o si alguien habla español que me pueda decir las medidas de las pastas del embrague de una scura v11 sport 2002

If you can, get someone to hold the cylinder down while you pull the head. Ciao

What an amazing bundle of hot-hot bikes and dedicated riders! Nicely done, people!!! SpineRaiders, all!

Ah, yes; I remember that last pic. I had just told Josh that if he couldn't keep up with an old fat guy two-up on a Norge, perhaps he should consider another sport. He took it well, actually. Bill P.S. Hope to post my SSR XV slideshow soon.

Check your main ground! Clean and grease. Typically behind the seat lock.

I think you just convinced me to do highpipes.

Shame about all the heavy traffic. . .

Google translates that as " They know what the clutch dimensions are for Guzzi V11 they would help me". Hello V11scura02sport From google translater "which dimension do you need?" "Que dimension necesitas?"
