Robin_V11

Thanks for the feedback. I've done a lot of reading over the weekend. I think I need to live with it for now and look very close to it when it get worse. That way I can save some money to do a complete rebuild in the future. For me it's a bike I never going to sell and I only drive max. like 500 miles a year.

Like you say Stew, you'd think that the shaft would be robust and last well... probably not when it's this exact design. @footgoose, thanks for the reply. I agree, it looks like it in de video, but the diff output shaft is not wobbly at all. I checked it a couple of times. Also because I was afraid for damage on the diff or the bearings.

Hello, I'm not sure, but I think there is a problem with my Guzzi that needs attention. Can you help me and tell me if it suppose to be like this or not? I did some cleaning last night and discovered that there is some play in the driveshaft. The bolts are torqued properly but there is still al lot of play on the splines. It's perfect on the gearbox side. The shaft from the differential does not have any play at all. It's just the drive shaft that seems to be the problem. In the video you can hear and see the problem. https://youtu.be/GrdwVr3Qv9E It drives perfect, without any noise or vibration. I'm the 3rd owner and have it since 2009. It only does have 18750 miles on the clock and I replaced the original 1st Moto Guzzi battery (from 1999) last year. The bike is really taken care for. It's one of the first V11 sport from 1999. Can you tell me what you think of this problem? Or does any of you did have something like this?
