Yes, there are.. comma but if the plastic ring doesn't seal, it will still leak around it. (I think)

There's probably a gasket on the end of the flange..

I got your Winter right here, pal..

No no no no.. a quarter turn.. wouldn't want to be thought an amateur..

Typically outrageous Guzzi spec? 80 ft lbs, or as Pete says, "until you fart" is more than enough. IMHO, take Guzzi torque specs with a large grain of salt. When I was building the aero engine, I found an M7 bolt that was supposed to be torqued to 22 ft. lbs, or something like that. Use a little common sense.

Not trying to be snarky here, but can't you just go out to the shed and measure them?

Yeah, where are the hammers? Third drawer down..

I've been needing some new bling for the Guzzi Garage.. 2017-12-06_01-14-42 by Charles Stottlemyer, on Flickr

I'm guessing.. and it's only a guess.. that it's the two hoses that come from the airbox, called hose, breather pipe.

Meh. It doesn't run.. Just kidding..

Busy. Gots to make some springs and an engineering drawing to send to Scud.. I'll get it up, though. Uhhh, things take a while at my age.

True.. true. But that's in the house. I'll hang the V11 stuff in the Guzzi Garage.™

Ah, that's what I suspected.

So none of them have broke with your test rig? Nope, but I *think* the original would have if it hadn't worn the test fixture down. Or not. Some springs don't seem to break. Certainly, it is being driven well beyond what is considered "safe travel" by engineering data. *Not* a good design. The .071 spring is well within limits, and *I think* strong enough to do the job. Our Southwest "proving grounds" will tell us whether is is or not.

It's just the pictures you see, with some rings to make it into a binder, I think. Double sided, foam in between. I haven't decided how to display it yet, maybe vertically. ? One of these days, the Kid will find it and throw it in the dumpster, along with Dorcia's *many* tin signs and memorabilia.

Welcome to the best place to learn about V11S on the planet..

My friend, who used to be 2Guzzidave.. now noguzzidave brought some stuff to a party yesterday, and told me to take what I wanted. This looked interesting.. 2017-12-04_01-29-14 by Charles Stottlemyer, on Flickr Still in it's original packaging. No doubt, it's worth thousands of dollars like that, but I wanted to see what was in there. 2017-12-04_01-29-32 by Charles Stottlemyer, on Flickr I'm guessing it was an original dealer display package. Kool stuff. I'll be doing a little redecorating of the Guzzi Garage ™

Final testing this morning on the Lifetime Guaranteed Imperishable Pawl Spring ™. First, the stock Guzzi spring: In neutral, 1750 grams Upshift 500 grams Downshift off the scale, but my fish scale says 5 lbs. That translates to 2268 grams. Now, the sacked 17000 mile Guzzi spring: Neutral 1100 grams Upshift.. absolutely nothing. Downshift 2000 grams. LGIPS: Neutral 850 grams Upshift 400 grams Downshift 1250 grams Pretty easy to see why the Guzzi spring breaks on the down shift..and why the lever occasionally doesn't return to neutral on the downshift. There is a *lot* of pressure on the selector shaft. (no. 27 in the parts breakout) on the downshift. I'll make a couple for Scud and keep this one for the Mighty Scura. "King.. this case is closed." Maybe

For a low volume job like this, the money is in the setup. The wire is almost free. They probably have computerized coil winders, so not much labor once set up. That's how that 9 cents apiece for 20,000 parts factors in. Oh, I'd make them all day for 20 bucks apiece.. but that sounds like work. Had a job.. Look, we don't even know if they will work in the real world yet. Our Southwestern testing division is on holiday..

Awesome..

Uhh, yeah. Early on in this project, I think Scud was talking around $300 to get 25 made. I'm guessing the world demand is somewhere between 50-100. There's not a lot of money to be made on Guzzi parts.. MGCycle wants $8.63 for it.

That would probably be 19950..

ZGUKT makes it a V11S, but I don't see a C01. Maybe it's a modified Billy Bob? No, that's a B01.. It's a guzzi..

They are good guys, too. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Are you a BMW guy? Finding the exact documentation on a certain model won't happen with Guzzi. Not to mention.. the documentation just might not be correct.
