How cool, @OuijiVeck! Welcome back! Probably will move your topic to a more visible subforum. Good luck swapping to clip-ons! Are you also changing the headlamp mounting to bring the headlamp and instruments closer to the triples (like a Sport)?

@KernowNZ, Can you stick a little magnet to that silver part (the actual flywheel)? Not rusty "could" = aluminum . . . If the flywheel (silver part) is not magnetic (aluminum), not likely the clutch (not visible without disassembly) has been changed from the original single plate . . .

@alannn, I did find this metal core gasket (part number B063861), posted by Rolf Halvorsen, that sandwiches the plate (one above, one below). [The OEM "paper" gasket for the V11 is GU01003650. The OEM sump to spacer gasket is GU01003600. I did not find the metal core equivalent for that one.

Welcome, @KernowNZ ! Yes, your Rosso Mandello clutch is single plate. And the flywheel is aluminum. Also, the rattle in you video sounds entirely normal. There remains some question whether any of the 2001 Rosso Mandello flywheels are prone to failure, or if that concern in confined to the 2002 Scura flywheels (and, possibly, the 2002 Tenni ) . . .

Here is the list from November 2023. Based on some correspondence I received from @Joe recently, I suspect he is out and not likely to confirm. And, thanks again, for the major effort!

Nancy Wilson's guitar intro, here. But, then all of the guitars. What a performance . . .

This could only be funny to a tiny subset of the world population, and even just a tiny subset of Guzzi people. Might only be funny to one guy we know . . .

Best wishes for a good mend your way, brother!

Pretty sure all the Kiwis on the forum are at least a hundred. Even the ones that have moved to Australia to veil their true identity . . .

If I recall my science anywhere close, at zero degrees Kelvin: the sun freezes up and the Universe screeches to a halt. Pretty sure I'll never get mySport started after that . . .

Ah, yes, finance contracts (including "insurance"): The Large Print Giveth, and The Small Print Taketh Away.

Precisely, why this thread exists --->

This makes me ponder, not the "stepping stone"/entry level bike, but the "drop-back-and-punt" bike that I would value as mySport (eventually) becomes too unwieldy for my physical capabilities. Is this a valuable, yet overlooked, market that Piaggio has not seen? "Off our rockers, Actin' crazy. But with the right medication, We won't be lazy. Old Folks' Boogie Down on the farm. Wheelchairs Are locked arm in arm." Or is there another future in store for my square-fin that Piaggio wants nothing to do with . . .

Those are some nice lines. Reminds me of mySport. The little scooter is cute, too . . .

What are those? Must not be just fork springs. Pretty sure mine were about $100US.

Let's hope! A meteorologist explained to me that the very cold temperatures caused this to be a very fluffy, light snow. Unlike the usual wet, heavy (and icy) winter precipitation we usually get in the U.S. south that wreaks havoc on the trees and power lines.

I like to hear one, from the rider's seat, ripping out through the hollows along the creeks. The air-cooled cylinders do have a special *ring* to them, beyond the exhaust note . . .

A "Three Dog Night !"

Overnight here in the "Sunny (U.S.) South", they forecast 4-6 (four to six ) inches of snow overnight. Our alternative "English" speaking brothers might pronounce that "far t' sex " (and just hope it ain't so . . . .) letitsnowletitsnowletitsnow

If I recall correctly, the Monster headlight is a match for the early Sport steel Bosch unit . . .

It plays for me both embedded as well as on YooToob . . .

Solved: moved topic to "banter" to keep the party going . . .
