rideblue1 Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 My 2001 V11 was parked up yesterday for a couple of hours and some gob*hite helped themselves to the cap from the top of the clutch fluid reservoir. Are these caps a pretty universal size across bikes fitted with hydraulic clutches or do sizes vary? I know I can send off for the Guzzi part but I need to keep my bike on the road in the meantime. Any advice would be appreciated,thanks.

GuzziMoto Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I don't have the measurement for you, but I would bet that any modern Italian bike with a Brembo clutch master would use the same size res.
pasotibbs Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 If your stuck let me know, I should have an old one somewhere.
stockport claret Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Just been and measured mine and it's a 35mm thread cap. I you are near an Aprilia dealer then they should be able to get them. The Tuono looks like it has the same size reservoirs as the Guzzi.
macguzzi Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Ducati or aprillia and some BMW lots on ebay
rideblue1 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 Thanks everybody,I think I will be going down the ebay road. Going straight on after this. It's great to have the help from this board when these hiccups occur.
rideblue1 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 Just ordered one from Moto Strada in Yorkshire,should be here in a few days. Played it safe in the end and ordered one from a guzzi dealer.
