No love for the Italian mistress? Hmmm. She's no ballerina, that's for sure. More like a ladies CrossFit champion, perhaps. Man, I hooned all over the Willamette Valley in the last 3 weekends just digging on that exhaust note. Bassoons dip their heads when she thunders by. Alas, we still must part ways. Maybe she has other plans and intends to remain committed to this relationship ...... we'll see. Lowered the price, but I won't tell her. Memorial Day 2024 - All gave some, some gave all.

Bumpity, bumpity. Project 701 awaits space in the garage! Will have the Scura at the Oregon Vintage Moto Show & Swap in May and the weather improves daily. PM me if you have any referrals or additional suggestions. Added to ADV Rider where I originally found her. Fat Amy, the Africa Twin is sensing I'm in selling mode and feeling a bit skittish. Sherco gone, Scura needs moved ...... Spring cleaning!

@Scud it’s original, as far as I know.

Bumpity ... How might I boost the eyeball count? Whazzup? Riding her to work for the rest of the week.

Man, that's a sexy time motorcycle!

Oh, shoot. What the heck did I write in there? Thanks for the save!

Time to part ways with this fantastic motorcycle. I'm just too into the ADV scene and want another lightweight DS option in the garage. Here's the rundown: #603 with just over 24k miles on the clock. I believe I'm the third owner. Purchased from an L.A. area owner in 2014 w/ the following: - Receipts from Moto Guzzi Classics, and Motoservizio in Signal Hill, CA as well as Evoluzione CycleSports in Simi Valley. - High compression pistons w/ related gaskets, Stucchi crossover, Mistral Ti cans, fuel pressure modifier kit (fuel injected Ducati p/n 90200_00), PC III. - Carbon rear fender, black color matched tail section, CRG mirrors. I've done the following: - Roper plate, Scud spring, Lucky Phil shift link extender, adjusted the shift mechanism and it's glorious. Shifts are precise now and buttery smooth. Many thanks to the forum. - Ghezzi-Brian CF belly pan, re-upholstered rear seat and seat pad. Black head guards. Plugs and wires immediately after purchase. - Lightened the Ohlins fork springs from 1.05 to .95, Rizoma clutch and brake reservoirs, GRG levers, new grips, Li-ion battery w/ tender. - Sorted what I felt was a "thin" clutch throw / engagement with some thorough clutch bleeding and the issue has been rectified. Nice "long", controllable engagement range. No leaks, no peeling motor paint. Some chipping on the porkchops, but no scratches of scuffs on the body work. Sticker on the tank is covering the area where the Nanny State sticker were and the area below the OEM decals is visually different than the rest of the tank. Veglia tach needle is a little faded and dances a bit on throttle blips and shifts, but doesn't swing wildly. Fires easily, runs very well, no leaks, and always puts a smile on my face when I ride it. All shop work performed on this bike by EDR Performance in Beaverton, OR. Clutch and brake fluid flush along with fork service and new fork seals completed 2/18/24. New rubber gauge dampeners added 5/19/24. Final drive was recently serviced, O&F are fresh. Diablo Corsas have <500 mi on them. I'll go back and review all my receipts to see if there's anything I've omitted. Owners and service manuals, original tool kit. Additional set of the black OEM silencers, too. Additional pics or answers to your questions. Just DM me. Would like to see her go to an enthusiast.

s602 here in Portland, Oregon.

Clarity isn't that great, but you get the idea. They do push you out slightly, so I guess it depends on how comfortable you'll be. Doesn't seem like anymore effort / angle to line up to the shift lever than others .... ?

KD's are tentatively sold to the gentleman from Ontario. My action item is to consult a podiatrist and get a second opinion.

Have these sitting in my spares box: MotoBits: I believe all the parts are present and will include the printed instructions. $340 new. Asking $175 shipped. Knight Designs: Silver Quadtrax. They're the 1" lowering design with the more aggressive tread pattern. $174 new. Asking $75 shipped.

Happy to say that with all the great content here in the forum I removed the selector box, disassembled it, marvelled at it's workings, cleaned it, installed the Scud spring, surfaced and polished the pawl arm, put her all back together, put it up on the bench vise, and started walking through the selector positions. Eventually settled on about 1/4" turn adjustment to the eccentric in order to get more throw on upshifts. Seemed like the pawl arm wasn't easily getting all the way ramped and over the selector roller. Reinstalled it dry to the bike and put it back on the garage floor. Rolled it through a few series of up/downs through all the gears. Seemed good enough to follow on with sealant. Hoping for no oil seepage tomorrow. One bummer ... the two vertical Allens immediately adjacent the starter (furtherst left on the box) have very weak thread engagement as if they're stripped, which makes no sense. Seems par for the course, though. Will enjoy getting a few rides before the weather turns and then the decision to keep her or not. My thanks to those that delved into these issues long ago and took the time to pass on the knowledge. Diving in there was a little initimidating, but once in the midde of it and solving problems, quite enjoyable.

Thanks! I figured it out through a little trial and error. Appreciate the response.

Removed plate and mechanism and got gears to neutral. Got the rear wheel off the lift and was able to move the shift forks to neutral and then align/reinstall the gearshift selector. Ran through all the gears properly while on the stand. Pulled it off and disassembled completely. Understand how the detents on the top gear function. Will post a couple picture with questions tomorrow.

Once the bolts are removed and access is clear, how does this plate come off? And, does the nut circled in red need to be backed off or …. ? It spins and I assume it’s for adjustment or rotation of bits inside.
