my transmission

[dp.guzzi]

This is not really a new topic, but it is a report of my sad experience. Yesterday I went for a ride after work. The night before I had been reading abhout the transmission failure that occurs around 5000 miles. I was having a nice ride, but then I downshifted and nothing happened. Yep, at 5490 miles, mine went out. Stuck in 5th (I think) gear. I knew exactly what the problem was, thanks to this forum.

 

I rode it to the place I bought it and left it with them. They are not Guzzi specialists, but I showed the service manager this web site. I hope they can fix it, and I hope they don't take forever to do so.

 

Needless to say, I am bummed out.

Don't worry, it's an easy fix.

just tell them to take the cover behind the starter engine off. After they drained the oil of the gearbox:-). The rest explains itself. It is easy to make a picture of the position of the 2 gears on that cover before disassembling, that makes figuring out how they were before easy.

I felt your pain. Mine broke 2 weeks ago. One of the site sponsors, upper left, MPH, got it repaired quickly. Parts in stock.

 

I hope your place gets it fixed quickly for you - New spring and the ratchet with the 15 mm boss.

Thanks a lot. I'll call my dealer tomorrow and let them know where they can get the parts.

Man what timing.... just today I decided to offically keep my LeMans, & put it on the road this coming Friday. I've had it since October, ridden it 600 miles, but never registered it & legally tagged it.

I also ordered the new spring today. This evening late I took it out for a 20 mile loop. While riding, thinking "you know, it may never break" and also looking forward to leagally riding it this weekend. Now I get this reality check when I return and log on.

Sorry it happened to you!
