Lost records.

[pete roper]

Lost my records of numbers for the gearbox recall. Just got in an '02 LeMans with poxy engine paint. ID ZGUKS000001M211604. Does this fall into the gearbox recall numbers? I ask 'cos he sez it shifts like a buffalo with two legs tied together. I haven't riden it yet so I can't comment but the gearbox recall data seems like a good place to start.

 

TIA

From one of Todd's answers

 

recall applied to 2000 and 01 bikes only.

No 2002 or later models were subject to the recall.

 

Recall applied thru Vin ZGUKRAKR11M114435

10th digit of your Vin should be 2 for 2002 model, 3 for 2003.

Thanks Martin. I was pretty sure that this one was well past the date of cock-up-dom but it pays to make sure. Bike is 2002, only done 7,000Km, it's probably rusty inside!

probably lack of basic maintenance? Linkage not adjusted properly or kept tight.

 

Is he wanting you to do something about the bad paint?

[pete roper]

Nah, he seems to be a stoic and accepts the paint as an unfortunate side effect of Guzzi ownership , His is pretty bad too
