Thanks for the support guys, The Tenni performed great on the recent tour ...one of the few places you can ride twisties hard day after day with the odd 200+ kmh blast. Hard work keeping up with the old tonti lemons.... Tyres stuffed but much entertainment had by all! No signs of the flywheel blowing up.....thank god. Checked it out thru the starter motor drive hole and its alloy with no signs of cracking.... as far as I could see with a light mirror and by feel. Now 42000 km Guess i will just keep on going till it makes some issues.

Thanks for the responses. Its single plate - based on the rattle in neutral - clutch out. I have been told by Mario at Thunder Bikes the noise on the single plate is actually from the gear box - probably doesn't matter its just Guzzi normal! As Scud suggested I was hoping to find some way of establishing if the flywheel has been updated. The idea for testing if its a steel RAM flywheel with a magnet or visually seeing the shape sounds the best starting point. My Tenni has 39,000 Km on it and the clutch performs without any signs of wear , vibration or noises so I expect it is fine. However at the Phillip Island Classic a couple of weeks ago I met the original owner of Tenni #4 and his flywheel started make noises and jamming in gear at 20,000km so the panics have set in. (His flywheel had radial cracking). About to set off on the Victorian Moto Guzzi Club tour of Tasmania - 2500 km of tight twisting tarmac and some dirt in a week. Tenni heaven.

Brought this Tenni - #009 - February 2017 . Just love riding it. Wish I could find out if the clutch has been updated...Its still single plate based on the rattle!
