LeMaynes Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Yes. I know. Another Gearbox Post... But this one is different then anything I have found thus far. So I decided to post. I'm sure I will have a real question soon enough. I recently lost ability to shift into gears 4 5 6, but made it home without breaking down. Gearbox has been clunky, False neutrals and lots of "grind it to find it" type shifts. I don't think this is directly related but sometimes the foot pedal would get stuck higher than normal and I would need to pull over play with everything to get it back down. Now this: (see my gallery) Shattered the forward "movable hose" of the lower lay shaft. (part# 04214900) trans recall part kit B 973206900016 is on order. yet to decide which selector parts to order. Need to look at my notes. I might as well service the clutch since we are half way there already and fork oil too while we are waiting for parts. 2000 V11 sport just hit 15000miles. Recently did the breaks, so I'm doing all procedures left in the manual for 12000m. As previously mentioned, I'm sure I will have a real question soon enough. For now I'm just getting my bearings. (pun) Im sure I will have a real question soon enough.
docc Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 So, you can get a complete parts kit for the early gearbox recall?
Scud Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 I have a spare 2004 (black) tranny in Southern CA. PM sent with details.
r3datom9 Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 I have a spare silver tranny in SF with about 13k miles on it, in excellent working condition, good physical condition as well. Bike was always kept indoors.
LowRyter Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 I'd consider getting a red frame transmission brace so long as you are replacing the tranny.
JBBenson Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 The NHTSA safety recall is still in effect, if you have a local dealer they should fix it. ProItalia did mine for free, but they resisted until they realized they would be reimbursed by Piaggio to the tune of 9 shop hours...!
swooshdave Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 The NHTSA safety recall is still in effect, if you have a local dealer they should fix it. ProItalia did mine for free, but they resisted until they realized they would be reimbursed by Piggio to the tune of 9 shop hours...! Not sure if there is a dealer in Sac, but there is in SF.
r3datom9 Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 Monroe Motors in SF The sell Ducati, Triumph and Guzzi Not bad guys once you get to know them, but not the friendliest bunch either. A little on the salty side, perhaps due to their location being in the hipster Mission District.
docc Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 Why is that so common in motorcycle ( and other kinds of) dealers? Like you have to know the secret handshake. . . 1
LeMaynes Posted February 23, 2018 Author Posted February 23, 2018 Thanks for the offers of spares parts. I have also seen used on ebay. Only Harper's and AF1racing have new parts, sold as recall Kit B, at an affordable price. I frequent the bay area but before I decide, I will definitely be contacting the local Moto Guzzi dealer with my fingers crossed. Some say it has expired: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=14913&hl=973260900016&do=findComment&comment=161263 justmike said: Posted 30 June 2009 - 04:00 PM Okay, so the fellas at MotoInternational were able to get me an answer in about 2 minutes flat - I've been waiting for two days from the local dealers The bad news is the recall has not been performed on this particular bike. The worse news is, the recall apparently expired on December 31, 2008 Any suggestions? What if the recall was already done on my bike? I'm not sure who to trust to tell me so and if so, I'm not sure if they would do it twice... for free. Hoping JBBenson is right... The NHTSA safety recall is still in effect, if you have a local dealer they should fix it.ProItalia did mine for free, but they resisted until they realized they would be reimbursed by Piaggio to the tune of 9 shop hours...! How long ago? ...and yes 8.8 hours to be exact, as per their own documentation. I will have this in my back pocket, in case I mess up that "secret handshake". https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2003/RCDNN-03V486-7355.pdf https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2000/MOTO%252520GUZZI/V11%252520SPORT#recalls Okay, so the fellas at MotoInternational were able to get me an answer in about 2 minutes flat - I've been waiting for two days from the local dealers The bad news is the recall has not been performed on this particular bike.

JBBenson Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 The recall didn't expire, it was just renamed as "flexible hose" which was confusing to ProItalia until they saw the 8.8 hours, then they realized it was a new recall, and just a bad translation from Italian to English. You can call Moto International with your VIN and they can look it up for you. You can also call Piaggio directly in N.Y., which I also did. 1
footgoose Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 didn't someone on the forum post a Piaggio web address where you can plug in the vin and it shows recalls, color, etc.?
