Buzzkill! My VIN is ZGUKRAKR51M113174. build date 6-2000. Looks like I need to put in a call to Piaggio. Unless someone points out I'm reading it all wrong.

I occasionally have downshifts fail to engage (usually 5th to 4th) but sometimes 4th to 3rd also. Removed, cleaned and lubed the linkage components, also adjusted to recommended angles with ample clearance of shift lever to frame. This helped but didn't completely eliminate the issues, hoping there are more extenders available, the simple fix would be great. If not, the behind the cover mods will go on the winter maintenance list. Glad that you all have this figured out, I doubt if my strategy of forceful cursing would yield desired results.

Thanks for the welcome and the correction, I'm surprised there was only one typo

Been looking for a while, finally found one close to home.

Greetings all, I am a new owner of a 2001 Greenie, formerly owned by forum member GMC28. It was a real stroke of luck to find a V11 that had received so much care from a meticulous owner, and only a few miles from home. The bike was ready to ride straightaway, which I've happily been doing, along with a little maintenance as I gather information from this forum. Thanks to all who contribute their experiences here, I don't think I've had a question that hasn't already been answered.
