Hey fellas! 1) On my way back from Amsterdam to Norway, I am stuck on the road because of a rear wheel bearings issue. I have found a mechanic here in Denmark, but I need a brand and size for rear wheel bearing. Its kinda urgent! 2) I have some weird issue with starting. I guess some cables touch the ground and somehow the bike wont start when I keep it straight but It will if I turn the steering wheel slightly to the right. Dou you have any ideas how can I solve this problem? Thanks in advance friends!

I will have one too! Great idea!

Hey my V11 fellows! Finally I got my beauty from Amsterdam! I rode it through Hamburg - Kodling - Thisted! Still on the way back to Stavanger! I just love it! Its just fine. Even though I have some bad luck with it. Anyway, I will post another topic for asking help on the issues I have I register it here before I register it in Norway! Here are some photos! I have some videos too! To be continued

Thank you mate! I hope it will be a sweet long ride with this lady. I am ok with ups and downs, every relationship has'em

Thank you very much! Great comment. I have been hanging around on the adv sites like advrider for long years. But this forum has just blowed my mind off. Such a great community with a lot of enthusiasm and in depth info about this specific platform. I feel a lot more confident now. Btw, this forum is also addicted. Admins must warn before signing up I can not stop reading how to section. I am lost and found!

Really impressive! Is the second method includes the spring you made?

Wow thats great Scud ! I sent you a message! Thanks for welcoming!

Hey p6x! Wow, such a great comment on my concerns and process! Today, I simply decided to go for it! I am a handy man who can actually rebuild any single cyl. top-end. I just hesitate because till now I had not this privilege to ride and own a Guzzi for long-term. But especially seeing this forum is such an active one with full of people who are ready to help regardless of being wherever in the world, makes me more confident and excited about V11 ! Thanks!

Btw, How can I find this upgraded spring? to be sure in any case, I will have one

Thank you very much! I hope so!

Hey mate, its OK for me, as much as i know, 2002 is the major breakdown year for this model. All speedo e.t.c changes are done by this year. So its the most recent version. And as you said, its very likely to see +1 registration year on exported motorcycle by the time being. Thanks for this first hand info!

Thanks for your opinion. I really need this kind of advices/opinions from you guys. I know very little about these bikes and especially in terms of reselling it without any significant loss. The seller is a very honest person. I trust him, and he said he really does not know the history. We assume that it is 11k regarding the speedo. But it can be replaced also. And considering the analog specs of it, there is no possible way to back track it. But the owner showed me the oil change photos, he is a professional motorbike dealer and knows how to deal with Guzzis since his father had 3 Guzzis at the same time. He told me that this bike is a trade-in and when he bought it he disassembled the gearbox bottom cover, just search for a metal or aluminium particle to be sure there is no scary scenario. And it was all clear oil. Not a single piece of crap metal. So this is the deal. I think i will go for it!

Great comment! In fact I am a poor man with lots of passion! My background is quite the opposite that this bike offers. I can be counted as hard enduro/Adv rider. My second dream bike is currently a Kove 450 Rally EX. So you can call my taste is a bit nasty. But I simply just simply fall in love with this bike. This state of me being fascinated and finding myself dreaming about cornering with this bike made me think maybe I can have 2 bikes. Really. I can afford only one for now, but this is the bike that made me wish to have a fully equipped road bike! First time happening. I have ridden the Fireblade, r1 even Triumph Daytona 675R (Probably the only competitive to Le Mans to my taste). So, having a 21 yo bike is still making me nervous, but I guess I will go for it! Cant resist!

Hey guys! Very excited to be in this forum! I am simply fascinated by the enthusiasm you have here to help each other and to enjoy the ride flawless! Crazy! Huge respect! I am planning to buy a 2003 Le Mans all black with the rear suspension upgrade to Öhlins. New tires, new battery, new upgraded R/R and so on. The price is 5500 euros. and supposedly has 11.000 km on it. But we certainly dont know cause no history record. When i look at the bike, i can not simply find any, i am repeating this, ANY scratch or a sign of hard use even. But I am still hesitating to buy it cause really dont want to spend this summer to fix a spring issue in the gearbox. Edit: I forgot to mention that the bike has beautiful `titanium` oval Mistral pipes on it. But I dont know if its tuned for it. So can you give me some advices in advance? Very happy to be here and I hope we meet in person too! I am currently living in Finland. Peace!

Heey guys, I could not identifiy the model year if the guzzi that i want to buy. Can somebody help me with this VIN number? ZGUKTA0102M111195 On the topic of JRT, VIN numbers is counted up to 16, I have 17 numbers. Thanks in advance!
