Do the part numbers change for #16 : "lever?" Or should those bushes simply be pressed back in?

Hmm - I have the early levers (two of them) and just fettled a late model Rosso Corsa that had no extended bushings. Any chance that bushing just walked itself out a bit? Measurement across the "early Sport" shift lever at the pivot: ~76mm/ 3.048"

Heh - yeah, "Ciao" can mean a lot of things. In this case, "You're braking for the corners and I'm not. Bye-bye!"

The rear Brembo pads arrived. What do you guys make of these markings? "FERIT I/D 450 FF" . . . sintered material; 4,5 mm thick; friction rated FF (??) - geez, no wonder HH rated pads seem to eat the rotor! 07.2686.25 . . . Brembo part number (?)

Usually when he plug spits out, it takes the secondary gear/shaft (shown in post #2) with it. That's what makes it so worth epoxying that disc into the body of the drive. If it ever needs to come apart, the epoxy is easily Dremelled away. If your secondary (pinion?) gear and shaft are still intact, you can fashion a thin disc from any sheet material, then epoxy in place. The disc/plug is ~0.590"/15mm diameter by ~0.041"/1mm thick.

Only way I'm gonna see "100,000" is to have SpeedHut make it so. Current (third) Veglia shows "27,774." Adding the other two plus interim GPS mileage = *nearly* 100,000 . . . Let's face it, there are some serious vagueries here . . .

Hen's tooth?

Now, I've pressed one of the brass inserts into the NOS angle drive and epoxied the metal *ejection* disc to prevent the well known "gear spit" failure. I know that the final solution is spelled S p e e d H u t, but just want to get past the 100k mark on these clocks!

With a stash of these parts on hand I cast about to recombine three of these things into one that would get me through the impending Twelfth South'n Spine Raid. No joy. That one gear was, apparently, designed by Achilles' own podiatrist. And then, lo & behold: a complete NOS angle drive in the bag shoved tightly into an empty speedometer shell!

After much ado, epoxy, colorful language, and spectacular disassembly, I found this split secondary gear:

The early (1999-2002) white face Veglia speedometer angle drives have long been known to be problematic (at best!) So much so, that Moto Guzzi superseded them in 2003 with the "bent tube" cable ends and the black face ITI gauges. Unfortunately, they, too, proved less than reliable. Trouble is, there is very limited space to direct a cable up from the right side top of the gearbox while clearing the throttle linkage. I was hoping to coax my third Veglia speedometer to the 100,000 mile mark, but *alas* . . . While it recently developed the common sporadic jumping and wagging, I found some improvement pressing the lower angle drive back together. Briefly. So, after removing the drive and attempting to press it well together . . . the speedo quit entirely.

Thanks, Kiwi_Roy!

My, my! At it's deepest core, I can see that really is a V11 . . . https://www.facebook.com/danilo.biello/videos/1369021586444811/

That makes perfect sense. I thought it odd that the spade connection on the solenoid itself is duplex. That appears factory, but no?

Thanks, Chuck! I tried sending you a Personal Message through the forum, but it is yet "unread." You want to show your email address here for contact info? Also, what should we add to cover shipping & fondling ?

"platform jack" = check, gotta get one! Certainly before the next big refit! I was recently observed Knolling tools while fettling a V11 with a variety of dental picks, tissue probes, scalpel, hemostats, jeweler's files, and one very fine French medical graduated cylinder. Sure, it's not *rocket surgery* (or is it? ) . . .
