Gearbox painted at last just need to oven cure the paint then assembly. Ciao2 points

If a manufacturing process isn't carefully controlled (we *are* talking Guzzi, here) nobody knows until things start failing in the field. Remember, this is a very small company with very little money.. and no reliability lab. This is much of the allure to me. They were making a *very* good motorcycle on a shoestring, and doing a good job.. mostly.. at it.1 point

I have some spare suspenders from being the oldest old fart on a Guzzi at the Ohio rally if you need some.1 point

As you say, on a parallel twin maybe it helps. Have you ever contributed to a thread then after a few turns kind of lose interest in continuing the story.1 point

Took my new to me Sport on it’s first semi sporting ride into central Ohio. Tired my old body out, but gelled better with the bike by the time I got home. Sorting out the suspenders along the way. 😀1 point

I am thinking the 2001 Rosso Mandello has different paint that preceded the problems with the '02/'03 ?1 point

Thanks all for the advice, quote above is my situation, and I’ve decided to wait until spring, remove the crimped on clamps and hose, then do a decent tuneup and replace with caps. Riding time is getting shorter now, need to enjoy before you know what starts falling.1 point

All it does is introduce another variable you dont need. Ducati did it for a while in the 851 days along with a vacuum connection to the fuel pressure reg then wisely deleted it. Ciao1 point

I had over 200.000 km on my first V11 and the U-joints didn't show any signs of wear. In fact they still were stiff in all directions. I greased them once a year or so, maybe once every two. It's in fact one of the more robust parts on a V11. Not that I haven't seen failed ones though ...1 point

Pointless, get rid of it and plug the holes. Its just a convenient way of isolating the holes without plugging. Ciao1 point

180° Laverda 1000. Beats everything. The epitome of mechanical brutalism.1 point

Hey, I really think my shaft failed from poor assembly practices (crossed the threads and re-used them) and complications of a crash. Don't cross the threads! "Important safety tip!"1 point
