Thank you to all who helped me out on.this topic, brake sorted now just need the weather to cooperate.

Footgoose, ok will try that thanks again.

Ok thanks.

So one more time, it's like a never ending story, all the old levers are back on, ball bearing and rod in the correct order, brake lines drained.of air and seem to be working ok but the brake lite is on permanently. I feel like a bloody idiot even asking but anyone have any idea what the frig is going on now. Checked a few things, bulb is ok, rear brack activated has no effect, any help is much appropriated again thanks, the good thing is the weather here in Northern British Columbia Canada has been crap so there's not been a rush on this at all Lol. Re reading I see footgoose mentioned the ball bearing activating the brake light so I assume I've not got it right yet, confused, doesn't take much.

The ball bearing on the break leaver side does it go before the rod pin or after it? The brake light is staying on after using the front brake.

Thanks for the info you guys, when me and my bud put the lever on we found a small ball bearing on the ground after and wondered where it came from, would this be part of the issue. Stu.

So I finally got my 02 LeMans going, still no neutral light, disconnected the side stand cutoff. I've put a new brake and clutch levers on and going for a test run which included a Klm of gravel road which I was a little apprihecive about though the first part was tarmac. Sure enough as soon as my front wheel hit the gravel down I went WTF, I've been riding for many years being 73 so was being very cautious, I'm ok but the Guz not so much, dinged the left Titanium muffler, front signal light thrashed, scraped the fairing, bent footpeg. Eventually someone came along we picked it up called a friend with a trailer and dragged it home but here's the thing the front brake is jammed on and that's why I washed out not my incompetence sot of Lol. We had to bleed the brake just to get it on the trailer, sorry this is a bit convoluted but can anyone explain what might be going on, I assume I screwed the install of the new front brake lever but how. Thanks Stu

Ok thanks, the relays are the upgraded ones I forget the name and the battery that I have coming is a Yuasa AMG same as what's in there already.

Yes that would be my next move but had to quit yesterday as it's in a friend garage and he had to go to work, tomorrow I'll check, just curious why it just shuts down and wont start, got new battery coming so might wait till it arrives. Our season is short hear Lol so need a fix ASAP.

Went to start my 2002 Le Mans after charging all night nothing, noticed no neutral light, made sure it's in neutral clutch in not, disconnected side stand cut off started up, left it running got gear on then it shuts off and wont restart. I'm thinking battery as there doesn't seem to be much go even after charging over night, any ideas please, I spent $2.500Cnd last year on a general overhaul and the dreaded gear shifting problem amongst other things, thanks in advance, Stu.

Count me in, my 2002 LeMans is in for work right now and would be great if we could get these sooner than later so i can get it installed while It's being worked on, thanks S.Sullivan

Yes done all that i have the Tranni side panel off and checked the Pawl spring with a friend who's more knowl'edgeable on internals than me it appears to be OK...and when i said i'm not a mechanic i mean not great on internals but do have some knowlage of motorcycles in genral as i own four just never worked on the Guz before. We followed all the insructions on this topic but have not managed to fix the problem as yet.

Got a 2002 V11,was on a ride last year it locked in third gear,limped home pulled tranni cover off pawl srings good screwed around with it gettin it in neutral and so forth line up the dots and other stuff but when i put it back together It's in gear and nothing moves...been to all the info topics on same,I'm not the best mechanic on the planet so don't know where to go next except to a Guzzi shop...I'm in Northern B.C. Canada so nothing near me here so i suppose It's Valley Moto in chiliwack for me Or! "Any ideas" I'm thinking shift fork though cant' see anything obvious,also i've been told that the motor has to be pulled and the cases split to get at the Tranni is this true?. Thanks in advance Stu.

Was visiting my Sister in Newton Stewart Scot july of last year and touring around in my rental car headed over the bridge to Skye as opposed to the sea to Skye...anyway was pissing duwn with rain so turned around and ended up in Plockton at the hotel their and after dinner i was in the bar and looking for a wee dram and spied the LochNagar on the shelf which had maybe 1/4 bottle left i orderd one then ended up with the rest of the bottle in front of me. "Nuff said"...finished it and a few others and waddled off to my room plesantly pissed...also brought a bottle of 21 year old Glendronach back with me to B.C.Canada,a mighty fine whiskey it was to.
