Surely that must be a very minimal amount?

Many thanks 👍🏻

I’m just asking the question by the way.😃

Thanks.I still can’t get my head around ,why know gasket? That’s what is bothering me! As I said to remove the cover next time using a gasket sealer would be more of a ball ache! Thus creating a bond. I know it’s not a strong bond but still. Understand the principles of the reasoning for using a gasket sealer filling up any slight discrepancy’s. So why use a gasket on the rocker covers,sump or anything else. When the gearbox cover has know requirement for a gasket? Which of what I’ve read Guzzi doesn’t fit from factory? I am just being inquisitive. Apparently knowledge is power!!!! Alas not according to my customers who always seem to know so much more than me 🤣🤬🤬🤬

So the spring(gu04238300) failed. I managed to get home! I have read all the posts and understand the reason why it fails. I’ve got the new spring. Actually bought 2, so can go ahead and replace it. Forgive my lack of knowledge, when I removed the gearbox cover it was metal to metal. It came off really easy and has never leaked! No gasket and no gasket sealer. I read that LOCTITE 518 sealer has been used and therefore creates a seal. Also filing down the shaft to 15mm sorts the issue. So do I put it back on metal to metal or use a sealer which would make it more difficult to remove the next time? Why is there not a gasket? Also where the gear shift lever spline goes through the gear box cover does that have to be removed to get to the surclip underneath? I’ve bought a new seal for where it passes through the gearbox cover! Hope that makes sense to anyone reading this! I’m doing it myself so I can learn more about my V11 Le Mans rather than taking it to a dealer. I’ve downloaded the photos which have been previously posted, so am doing my homework. If this is just rambling please ignore! If it makes sense to anyone reading this post then any advice would be appreciated!! I’m only a humble stonemason!! Not a mechanic. And finally,, I want to bleed the clutch. Again I have read and seen the pictures posted, is it really that difficult to access? If anyone has a picture/pictures of the precise location that would help me greatly! My kindest regards Drachir.

Has anyone got a V11 Le Mans belly pan for sale? preferably UK? many thanks. D.

Just have to say I’m not a great fan of chrome and certainly nothing shiny!!!

I did think about polishing the covers and pork chops! It just seems to be more maintenance to keep it all looking good. I can get the above vapour blasted locally. I’m not quite sure about powder coating the rocker covers as I don’t like the fact of putting them back on and cracking the finish? The same goes with the pork chops. This is why I was more interested in anodising!!As for colour… rockers black! Pork chops red.

Thanks scud docc

Thanks Phil.

Hello there! I want to get my rocker covers and foot plates anodised! On my 03 v11 lemans! I know the rocker covers are aluminium. GU01415890 been looking to see if the foot plates are aluminium ! I’m not being lazy but can’t seem to find that question out! Was just looking if somebody out here knows! I want to get them vapour blasted 1st. kindest regards Rich.

Thank you guys. I’ll do what you have advised!

I’m not sure if I’m in the right place for this question. I do have an oil leak. I’m guessing because it’s not had a good run for a while. I’m looking at it and I recon it’s from the timing chain gasket? If anyone could direct me to the right place on this issue would be greatly appreciated 👍🏻

Just bought this Le Mans last week !!! 5 years without a Guzzi is along time!!! A few issues as it’s been standing for a few months!!!!

Have been away for some years! here’s my new v11!!
