  1. I just greased my Scura driveshaft. Took maybe 10 minutes. All anyone needs is an extension for the grease gun with about a 45 degree bend at the coupler. You fish it from behind the bike, through the swingarm tunnel through which passes the driveshaft, and "click" onto the fitting of the front joint. Just turn the joint to position the grease fitting at the top beforehand. A flexible couple works great. As indicated here earlier, Sears has one. Lubrimatic also makes the best one (which is carried by stores such as Ace). The Lubrimatic is a jointed coupler that you can bend to virtually any angle. It has a locking collar for holding the coupler straight but I removed this to provide an even slimmer profile. I put a 1/8 pipe coupling and a grease fitting on the threaded end of mine instead of attaching it directly to mu gun. I then click the extension onto my joint fitting as described above and then click my gun fitting onto the extension fitting. Nooo, I do not think the squish around the seals hurts anything. Ive done similar joints many times before. The main problem with too much squish is that it will sling off onto everything once spinning. By the way, my joints at 2500 miles were already full of grease anyway. I guess Giuseppi was back from lunch when they assembled mine.
  2. Who else uses these same controls?? Ducati ?? Who makes them CEV ?? It iss a lamp control (as shown in the manual). Id like to get one of these switches to add.
  3. Oooooook, guzzists. 02 V11Scura, the left switch housing has a plugged-off area. Is this a location for euro switch etc?? What models have the switch?? Is it available to use for add-on controls???
  4. Ok guys. I just picked up a new Scura. It now has 1800 miles on it. After it warms up and is idling in neutral, there is a terrible rattling racket. When I grab the clutch lever it quiets. When I let it back out it resumes. I noticed today that even while I'm in gear and trolling along in first gear and near-idle rpm's, I can hear the racket. Im used to noisy Ducati clutches but is this normal for a Goose???? Any diagnoses??? leafman60@hotmail.com
