  1. Good luck with all that Zooter, wish you the best. I bought a bike that was crashed. A member here bought it from the ins co and rebuilt it. Wasn't too bad he said. I bought it for parts and it rode very nicely. I stripped it completely. With everything off, the main frame is basically a 2X4 with a cylinder attached at each end. Vertical one at the front for the forks and a horizontal at the rear that the chops attach to. It's obvious to me it would twist easily with enough force. I casually put a couple of 6' pipes through the frame cylinders to form a cross and they didn't look right. I think it's a little twisted. If I have a go at it again and do it right, with help, I think it could be straightened. If yours flipped it's most likely tweaked. If you did rebuild it, what would the title show? In US we get a 'rebuilt' or 'salvage' title, which lowers resale value considerably.
  2. here are some layers.. the clutch/flywheel were removed with 12k miles... so pretty new. on the right the ring gear with clutch plate laid on. left is flywheel with intermediate plate and spring 'disc' (not really sure what to call the spring thing) the one on top is the ring with starter teeth and the raised bits that look so bad in the pics. It's fine up close and personal.
  3. yeah it's ok, normal casting
  4. yes Docc, one piece flywheel, All alm. and everything else iron and steel. If you could get a magnet past the other layers and fully engaged on the alm. ??
  5. here's the 'door stop' from the Tenni. The alm flywheel is all alm with one two sided clutch plate a 'disc' spring (last) and a pressure plate. you'll see the actuating rod cup in the middle
  6. "add a ground strap" got a photo of this procedure Docc? (you spoiled us) #2--- how do you guys highlight bits of posts like I see sometimes in color?
  7. this is true. however the single plate could have been replaced with a steel Ram single plate and still rattle when the lever is out.
  8. yeah, I probably didn't see your point. You probably didn't see mine. such is life in the interweb eh? I have been known to miss the mark on occasion. Just doin' my best to answer the op's query. to the numbers.... 170 is all I've read/heard. Seems like they'rd be more of a mix up on the forums' Tenni regestry if there were more.
  9. thats cool the paint was fixed. that probably happened before the flywheel fiasco erupted so doubtful it was swapped then. I rode my Tenni almost 13k mi before swapping the clutch and flywheel and there was no indication of damage on the flywheel. I think many have done many more miles with no problems. And as I've said before, there's no guarantee it will fall apart, but the fact that it might... and that some have... was enough for me to do a swap. What Limited Edition number is yours?
  10. How many previous owners? How many miles? If no info was passed down to you regarding a prior clutch replacement, chances are it's the original. There is much info here regarding the aluminum flywheel installed oem into Rosso Mandello, Tenni and Scura. There are remedies.
  11. I have not looked in there but the timing marks on the flywheel must be visible, yeah?
  12. viewed through that filter, all the V11s are the same, ...with varying paint scheme, and tidbits to make it different, and all to arrive near the same price point. If adding Ohlins to a RC, NC, CS is a mere upgrade, then so it be on a Scura. Tho not a limited edition a Cafe Sport is a newer Scura, but with an unfortunate name and all the Scura flaws removed. The later Ohlins is even improved. my list is just what I think will pan out over the years. 170 Tenni, 600 Scura. One collector will value the more rare, another will want Ohlins. I don't care how it turns out. I bought mine for the look of it.
  13. Ok. it'll take till next Sat to get an exact ship quote. It'll be $12 - 18 I'm guessing. I'll have to check on the tail light and get back. thanks
  14. I can't find anything either. a flash of a greenie... behind a car and a RC51? wish I could understand, they sound excited
  15. Got my new LeMans badges to replace the 'Cafe Sport' badges on the carbon fiber side covers I got last week. I'll be using these on the Tenni and didn't want to remove the "Tenni" badges from the stock side covers. They are NLA. The pic of the inside shows the raised areas and the grommet/sleeved washer reinforcement that Lucky Phil was referring to concerning cracking mount points on CF covers. These covers were standard Guzzi items on the Cafe Sport. Very well made. btw, those badges are still available, unlike the early badges, and cheap at $7.20 for both
  16. Decent uncut shape. Expanded photo should show any blemishes. $35US plus shipping. Thanks
  17. nice tread wear review on the Mitas. I like the look of it..
  18. probably not much...
  19. Is that your Tenni? How long have you owned it? Desirability/collect-ability? I think Tenni fits in something like this... just My Opinion... (don't be hurt anyone please) Scura R Copa Rosso/Nero Corsa Tenni/Scura Cafe Sport Rosso Mandello Early (red frame) Sport LeMans Sport As time passes the Tenni will move up the list for rarity. Of all the specials edition models, the Tenni has the best 'back story' in the Moto Guzzi racing history of their champion Omobono Tenni.
  20. I for one think they are quite special. It is pretty much the same as any LM but the look of it to me is outstanding. It has the extra suede seat, titanium nitride coated fork tubes and a (not so good) aluminum flywheel with a single plate clutch. I believe it was produced in the lowest numbers (except Copa) of all the specials, 170 worldwide. 35-40 in the US.
  21. I use one of those combo gauges on my dr650. works fine
  22. Hi rockers, got pics of that seat?
  23. I've only had one set of Staintune exaust, a complete undertail system for my R1100s and it was gorgeous in every way. Superb build quality. Too shiny for the Tenni tho.
