    Calijackalbob, Nice bike.. running gear is all the same as the Bassa but for me the tubeless rims were priceless! flat tire? plug and go without even taking the wheel off. tubes on the side of the road, BTDT never again.

    I don't see the length listed but it looks just like mine, get it. 1/2 drive will be fine.

    Oh if you need the 32mm deep socket for the front crank nut I will send to you and you send back when your done with the job.

    I don't know, what I do know is the bearing flanges don't slip off easily.. I have a nice condition Crank shaft in an EV1100 motor, you can have it if I could get it free of the block. I think it's the same crank.. just so you know the forum at http://wildguzzi.com/forum/index.php?board=1.0 might be worth consulting.

    15M computer (same as your spine frame bikes), smaller than the EV box that was right under your tailbone (98-01 EV) bullet proof as in they don't have many problems (nor did the earlier p9 box in the 98 EV) 99-00 are the only years for the Bassa.. same running gear as the EV so any of them are close to the same.. for me the tubeless rims were key, the Cal Special Sport is what the Bassa evolved into but they regressed to the tube type rims. so I recommend the Bassa or a 2001-04 EV, the rims changed on the EV to chromed tubeless, not as elegant in my view.

    Bassa! mine was faster than my V11.. in 5th it turned like 4500 at 80 and the LM had to run 5k to make 80.. 99-00 Bassa had the tubeless rims gen 1 like the early EV.. foot pegs but boards are interchangalbe from the EV (lower frame rail swap 15m CPU bullet proof. 42mpg loaded.. should never had sold it, he stole it from me for $3500.

    That's one of the things I like about Guzzi.. My Buell requires oil check when hot, as in w/in minutes of shutting off. It's a real bother but if I wait till it's cold it doesn't even show on the dip stick, I've added to much more than once.

    807 miles from my home.. sorry can't make it for financial reasons.

    do you have a supplemental ground from the reg to motor? you should! the ground is passed thru a captured bolt, not a good design.. probably not your problem but shouldn't the run voltage be 14.1 or so not 13/7?

    when I had my V11 I thought I knew torque... then I got a Buell XB12

    I have parted a few bikes.. use ebay... don't sell anything you can't find a big enough box for shipping. start the bid at the minimum you'll take and let the market decide value. anything that fits in a flat rate box from USPS should be listed "shipping world wide" you'll get more bids and higher sale prices. always have buyer pay shipping costs. get insurance from Post office.. take photos of part and packaging, save receipts from PO, you need good proof (pics) to make a claim with Post Office. sometimes FedEx is a better way to ship but a little more $'s.

    been commuting on this thing I picked up late spring for $1200! w/1500 miles on it.. pretty fun, can go near 60mph.

    and for short hops,

    I still might be able to assist you from the airport.. no do not add any extra oil. that idea is daft. it will all get blown into the brether. the solution is a Roper plate, it's a windage tray that sits atop the sump pan.. keeps the oil from all going to back of pan on hard acceleration up hill.. don't thrash your bike and all will be good. keep the oil 1/2 way between the marks on the dip stick. 5.8 gallons or so..depending on tune and speed about 180 miles is the max range. mine gave about 42mpg most of the time, less going 90 all day.

    I;'ve shipped four different times with diff companies.. Haulbikes.com was by far the most knowledgable and careful. this guy needed to be taught how to tie down before breaking the sidestand.

    a week? good luck with that..
  24. fotoguzzi
    Yes I would talk with the owner of the shop and ask him for the bolt back.

    I'm filled with joy that you can now ride it.. it's so much better than a bicycle, right?
