Hmm.. I was assuming that the hole(s) would have to be in the metal tach body in order to allow an exchange of air. I must take out the speedo and see if it is more 'holey' than the tacho.

Celtic Young Men Ride Undressed alledgedly

When riding my new bike home I was disappointed that the rev counter face misted up quite badly. I thought some of that atmospheric Italian mist had ben trapped in it. I recently took the tacho out and thoroughly dried it. Meantime I noticed a passing comment somewhere here about misting rev counters being one of the Guzzi quirks. I put the instrument back on and went out this afternoon. Sure enough, the clock glass misted up as before. Is this a common 'feature'? Does anyone know why it happens? Has anyone cured it? The speedometer doesn't mist up. I wonder would a ventilation hole or two in the clock body do the trick?

As far as I know Scuras are 2002 bikes and my number is ZGUKS00002... like yours: so the 02 could be for 2002 and the 01 for 2001 as you say.

wow, fantastic: three posts in a row from 'this' side of the Atlantic. As a newcomer to Guzzis, who had to go to England to get one of those 02 Scuras, I look forward to seeing one of these other MGs around the roads of Ireland, Scotland or Wales (or even England) sometime. – You'll hear my rattling clutch coming. This is a scary forum: no grease in the bearings, sizzling electrics, pinging springs, exploding clutches.... I had thought that with such a long-lived design, problems would have been pretty well ironed out by now.
