replacement screw

Replaced the selector spring with the modified type today, this is a friend's Cafe Sport and I still have my Nero Corsa to do, just a couple of points, if you remove the slotted pin that regulates the arm travel you can leave the bottom selector wheel in place and lift the arm over it, also the countersunk slot screw that holds bracket had been removed too many times and the slot was damaged so I replaced it with a countersunk allen screw

The later models are electronic units so not an option, the earlier white face Veglia won't work either I tried it once and the cable drive in the early gearbox has a different ratio so the cable runs too fast

If the speedo is still working and the odo has stopped then the worm drive inside the unit has stripped, very common, and difficult to find a replacement ITI gauge these days

Why do you think the splines need so much grease? they don't need to move after the wheel is fitted so there's no wear caused, when I first remove a wheel from a V11 I'm usually finding they are over greased and I'm cleaning it off

Payment sent thanks, my address should come with Paypal let me know if it doesn't

Hi Scud can you give me a price for 5 springs to the UK

A friend is looking for a Le Mans, anyone selling in the UK?

I know from experience that selling a V11 in the UK is not easy, such a small market place, M&S motorcycles have had a Nero for sale for at least 2 years at £10k, I sold a Nero for £6k a while ago and just bought a better one for £3700, a friend just bought a Cafe Sport for £4k this is the real deal, the Scura is only worth that price to someone who really has to have one and then if it then gets used how it should be it will go down in value in the real world, the few V11s for sale in the UK at the moment are asking silly money but are not selling

I've got a pair of polished alloy ones spare

Complete twin plate clutch on Ebay UK plus lots of other bits, not mine https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Moto-Guzzi-V11-Sport-1-02-Clutch-kit-Kupplung/382350600096?hash=item5905df27a0:g:UD8AAOSwBOlaYK6z

I tried to buy the Ventura rack but he won't sell it, I agree the forks look bent to me

Send me your address and I'll send you one no charge

Hi Stew I didn't know the answer to this so I went and dug out a spare one and with a bit of persuasion and wd40 the plastic bit pulls out of the rubber, used 2 screw drivers 1 each side

When the new spring is in production I would be happy to have a few here in the UK and offer a fitting service for the few V11 owners here

Time will tell as neither spring has been tested for long yet, maybe both springs will last forever

It's a shame this thread has wandered away from the original idea of changing the spring for a pull spring, my mate has just bought a Cafe Sport that has had no less than 3 spring failures in it's life, as he intends doing some European trips this year I suggested that I convert it to a pull spring so I''ll let you know how I get on, I've replaced a few stock springs over the years but not done the conversion yet, as far as I'm concerned the only permanent fix is a pull spring

Just listed a load of unwanted V11 parts on Ebay.co.uk, username...steves1255 more available just ask, sorry only shipping to Europe https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Moto-Guzzi-V11-Exhaust-Cross-Over/253317165522?hash=item3afae131d2:g:ZcsAAOSwUYNaNVXw

There's not really anything inside the stock crossover to gut, I bought a Mistral item a few years ago but it didn't fit very well, I am running the stock item on my Nero with open Delkevic silencers and it goes well, aftermarket crossover will make more noise, btw my mate has bought an 05 Cafe Sport for £4k if this helps to value yours but thanks for the offer

Thanks Craig but your price is a bit strong for him

A mate is looking for a V11 anyone selling in the UK ? Sorted now he's bought an 05 Cafe Sport
