Striking distance! But "private club?"

Order today = June delivery?

Yes, that bolt is very specific. Along with one of the two "washers." I am hoping someone has the whole Rube Goldberg sidestand assembly in a pile and could measure the parts . . .

Alright, @arveno: 3 - "screw" GU30432801 4 - "Special washer" GU95021114 8 - "Washer" GU95100120 Neither the Parts catalog nor the Workshop Manual shows any dimensions. [ Also, note that it torques to 70-75 Nm ! ]

The one circled in red or the bigger one at the top left of the image?

I-40 corridor? That would be round Crossville. Seems like an odd, unlikely location (?) Fifty miles southwest of Knoxville is I-75 corridor (headed toward Atlanta), around Athens. South'n Spine Raid territory!

Welldone, Phil, as usual! I have long thought my vent and overflow tubes are weeping fuel into the exit. Seems like such a monumental task to address, I just built a catch can instead.

so love this guy . . . Stabet Mater and such . . . This performance from just weeks ago:

If'n yer gonna dream, . . . (I) Dream of Jeannie . . .

Oh, no! I waited too long to get Mike Rich valves and headwork?!?

Super, Bill! Thanks for sharing the experience! As usual, I always have a few select, favorite images . . .

Sure docc's quick, but can be wrong . . . Now the matter of certain suppliers listing the kit as "PS 13" which implies 13mm, not the correct 12mm? So, I used the Brembo part number, 110436292, and see the best US price from OPP Racing ($18US): https://www.oppracing.com/product_display/202872-brembo-oe-spare-part-master-cylinder-brake-12mm-seal-set-for-front-master-110436292/

Here is the correct kit from Stein-Dinse: https://www.stein-dinse.com/en/front-brake-master-cylinder-repair-kit-brembo-ps-13/item-2-1098059-GU28659378-.html And from Wendel (but almost triple the cost!): https://wendelmotorraeder.de/pump-revision-kit_gu28659378-p-1005001.html Best Euro price at TLM: https://tlm.nl/moto-guzzi-triumph/286593780000-revisieset-rempomp-ps13-lm1000-c1100

Man, I do appreciate that! I see my error caused @audiomick's links to be in error from my mistake. Sorry, y'all!

Yes, indeed. Too hasty posting the link on my part. I'll edit in a correction..... Thanks, again, @Speedfrog'

Such good advice to freshen the clutch fluid yearly. I reviewed my service records and see that I have rebuilt the clutch master cylinder every 100.000 km. In the first 62,000 miles, I changed the fluid every year (8-14 months), six times. Except for once that I let it go three years. In the second interval (68,000 miles), the clutch fluid was changed eight times averaging every other year, twice going to the three year mark. Bad docc. Bad. Just a reminder, though, that I row my gearbox and flash my clutch like a jackrabbit on hot lava . . . YMMV!

I thought all drag racing had dropped back to the 1/8 mile. My 300hp V-8 "back in the day" was a contender on the street. Probably mid-14s/ 90-ish on the quarter mile. What was your trap time @fotoguzzi?

Yes. They are quite prone to cracking at the mounting points, much like the side covers and front fender . . .

Absolutely. The lever travel ("freeplay") increases bringing the lever close and closer to the handgrip to actuate the clutch. In simplest terms, a gap opens up between the lever and the actuating rod (the spring, otherwise, keeps these surfaces in contact). Initially, this can be addressed changing the adjustable lever position. Then, the engagement screw can be turn in closer the actuating rod of the master cylinder. Neither of these actions are the solution, but are an indication the spring has broken.

The two actual things that affected my clutch over all this time (so far) . . . And, twice, the spring internal to the clutch master cylinder has busted itself in quadrants . . .

Flattery and emulation? Where else is a modern motorcycle design from one inspired man, drawn in one night, "unasked for", that is such an inimitable delight? https://www.v11lemans.com/forums/topic/19665-luciano-marabese-v11-sport-designer/

These seals are to restore the Grimeca clutch slave cylinder? Any links to those for our archives?
