Some 2000/2001 v11 sports were recalled. On mine worst case is lock of rear wheel. So it is Nice to be sure... Details: http://www.motoguzzi.no/sa.htm

I wont get inner peace until I am sure the recall-issue has been done. I need to know I can trust my machine. But getting a shop to do it at my own expense here sure is costly. Is it overly optimistic to believe I can do it myself? It has been 20 years since I last dismantled and put together a gearbox

Thanks, that's what I wanted to hear

I checked with the importer in my country, and there were no campaing/recalls on my bike covered by fabric today. However they could not say if this means that it has been done or if it out "out of date". Only "safety recalls" are active/open "forever", this was just a "recall" (!) and therefore has an end date from fabric (according to them). It is probably done, but as the consequences may be severe it is nice to be sure...With multiple previous owners that road is not so easy either. Maybe I should just fix it and take the cost my self. At least then I have gearbox I can trust and that will last many many miles.

hmm, my V11 Sport 2001 is quite often missing its third gear... Is that a warning of what is to come I wonder...It is within the recall range linked to over. Nothing shows up when checking the Piaggo-site, but then it states: "this service pertains all active recall campaign since 2009", and this recall is from 2003. I just bought it, was not planning on opening the gearbox just now...

Wish I had seen this before... I struggled with the same connection yesterday (the connector to the fuel indicator, the only connection on my tank). I got it off, but I destroyed it in the process. The connector on the tank side/side of the fuel indicator is totally broken. Can I replace only the connection(s) or am I best of replacing the entire fuel indicator? First time I take of the tank. Learning by doing (mistakes)...

Same thing with the 2001 V11 Sport I bought last week. The breather hose is clearly cracked, and I hope this is the only thing causing the oil leak.... Fingers crossed! I am used to a Honda 550, and this V11 sure feels different. In a good way.
