I'd venture to say the majority of us have made some kind of change to our exhaust. My son is looking forward to fitting some rumblier cans to his V7 Stone (the Agostinis look nice!!). At $750-1000 US for a pair of canisters, he asked me why exhaust is so expensive. I had a couple ideas, but really, why is exhaust so expensive?

No simple cures, guys? Clip the green wire first?

That is in an unfortunately very visible location. All of the plastic on the early Sports cracked to pieces. I used both the fiberglass method and, on flat surfaces, blank circuit board epoxied and clamped.

Your angle drive screws onto the early Sport speedometer connection (green arrow) which is actually a 60˚ angle drive with the brass insert and screw collar (blue arrow) removed and bolted to the speedo with a C-collar. Interesting that your unit is 90˚ and identical construction. It even clearly shows the metal disc (red arrow) that spits out and takes the drive gear with it. It deserves a good dose of metal epoxy like JB Weld. I wonder if Magni can source a 90˚ unit, can't we find the 60˚ unit outside of Piaggio parts?

Wouldn't a 30 Ohm resistance on a sensor that should be 3,000 Ohms at that temperature say that sensor is "bad?"

So, what's next? Are you going to have someone tear it down and have a look?

:grin: :grin: You guys should be ashamed of yourselves tricking old gits into crazy dreams!

Bummer, man. I hope you can put her back together again! What made you replace the camshaft?

Methinks that is the critical energy statistic right there.

Maybe this will prompt Piaggio/Moto Guzzi to get on the stick a build the 3 cylinder diesel military bike that Carcano thought should be their next move.

So, Tom, if your lever travel has noticeably increased, look for this broken spring in the master cylinder: Bled Clutch post from 2008

As always, a good call by Hubert to start with the hydraulics. Be certain the system is recently bled with fresh fluid. Also, some master cylinders have broken their internal spring requiring rebuild. I can find that thread if would be helpful. Do you find that the hand lever has, now, a lot of free play? P.S. - Ich will nicht sagen Dieter Sie über ihn reden.

Cool! I'm in. I've always liked the Gambalunga aquilia (top of the page on the FileShare). Which is the DeTomaso emblem?

Length is the same. Early Sports have one on the upper fork tree as well. 151 7700 The decal, "Aquilia" on the alternator cover is 251 7700. Seems the self adhesive has a foam interface that degrades and separates giving the eagle flight.

Well, no. A little weeping is . . . just that. Now that you say it, I can see the difference between the grease and the gear oil. The big seal is easy to change, just don't pry it out with a screwdriver and scratch the surface. Like I did. If it keeps weeping after that, it's the inner seal which is decidedly harder to get to. You'll need a Seal Whisperer.

That looks fine. Have a look at the pinion shaft seal.

A spin? A go? A "bit of sport?" Nudge-nudge-wink-wink . . . know what I mean- know what I mean?

Best of luck! Make the good motorcycle run again!

So, I'm thinking when a Canadian says "$100" and a Brit says "100 quid" it means roughly the same thing: a 200 ** part = 300 ** Still about the same what I paid for my last Veglia speedo in USD. I'd like to think modern technology will outlast the Veglia, but I've seen my Veglia speedos outlast my Garmin Zumos . . .

Hey, wait! Is there a crankshaft in that V11 Sport?

This is the front crank seal behind the stator? How did you do t?

Some setting other than zero may give you the very best CO%. There is even talk that setting the CO% using a gas analyzer at some rpm (not idle) gives the best result. Yet, starting at minus 27 my results were fantastic just to zero the parameter with the ECU interface (honestly, I can't remember if Andy used the Axone or the VDSTS - he had me under his spell Just for reference, ask your tech where yours was already set.

Language barrier?

Sorry about that being so unclear. 3.5% is the parameter for the exhaust gas analyzer. The Guzzi software (ie: Axone) shows the CO on a +/- scale. My Sport was delivered at -27. When Andy zeroed it, the idle and general running improved fantastically. As I recall that coincided with the 3.5%.

I'm trying to convert from the metric. Maybe the line length is in cm (108) ? - - - - 42 inches would make more sense than 4.2 inches? Otherwise, it makes sense that the threaded fitting is 10mm diameter with a 1.00 mm thread pitch and 15 mm long. Routing? Mine appears to start from the left side of the spine at the head tube and cross under it to the right before dropping to the slave cylinder.
