Caught me not paying attention again !! What have my beloved politicians done while I was napping this time?

Many more knowledgable folks on here but the only way I have found to remove "the nut" is pull the drive shaft - mount the rear wheel with the rear drive and axle....then run a 2x4 through the spokes of the wheel so that it rests on the top or bottom of the swing arm depending on loosening or tightening. I will have to look it up again, I think that nut needs to torque to like 180 nm. Whatever I did wrong, the brake was not enough to hold the wheel by myself while trying to loosen it at the same time. I think there are shims on shaft that goes in the tiny bearing at the back of the pinion .....the front being the end with the drive shaft.

As Phil wrote..."drift and a hammer". From the factory the book says says torque to 90 Nm. If you are going to try and cut something up it needs to be a 60mm socket. Seems I do not have the tool for that ring nut.

guzziart.... why do you want to pull the pinion assembly out? Is it leaking from there? I will check in the morn ...I think I have what you need to remove this. I would not use heat because of the 0-ring and seal that are just behind it

I think a test run without the bodywork is in order. Then you you would have a reference as to what the enclosed bodywork is doing to your temps. If the temps are greatly reduced then you would know what the problem is ...sort of. If there is no significant change or ....say less than 5 or 10 degree, I would start looking at how to mount a bigger cooler. Setrab makes very good coolers and even getting a slightly larger one could make the difference. Or .....sell me the Daytona !!!!! That is one Beautiful Motorcycle !!!!

I usually stay out of these discussions....oh well https://www.schaefferoil.com data sheets are on the web site

nice Guzzi V-4....I bet its smoooooth !

You could have done a lot worse....said the man who has ridden one just a little. But then I'm a touchy feely kinda guy

I don't see much LeMans in that. Looks like a swoopy Quota to me. Got a long ass swing arm/final drive....looks to have trans in the crankcase... looks like a catalytic converter just behind the side stand. Until we get some nice clear pictures or someone puts eyes on it ....well ,down here we call that "pissin in the wind " Not much of an electric fan myself. Thought it would be great for the wifey then I decided I did not want to be on call for the remaining days of my life fetching her cause she did not plug it in. In the mean time, I will burn all the petrol I can cause thats what runs everything in my garage.

kinda looks like a Quota for the street

Just looking at it, appears to to be just another old spine frame. Now ...everything else that is bolted to it is a work of art. drool material for sure I would be curious to know why its gone through 2 clutches.

roper plate ....did you use 2 gaskets? one on top of the plate and one on the bottom ? should be sump cover-gasket-roper plate - gasket- bottom of engine

Only in YOUR mind. !

If all else fails TLM and HMB have one listed....I prefer to buy local if at all possible

All of my irons in the fire went cold. Back on the trail for an Axle/Spindle for a 97 1100i sport or Centauro This part is no longer in production. Lemme know what ya got and how much thanks andy

So ....what does one need to do for a set of gears? Do I need to contact Joe personally or is someone here keeping a tally? I take one of those new plexiglass front covers so I can show them off also andy

Today HWY 49 east Griso me flared 914 west 10:30 am anyone we know?

copy that

It appears to have the same part # 37633305 for the Centauro and the 1100 I. so yes that would work. Don't trouble yourself yet, I have 1 more iron in the fire.... Andy

I do not know. I will look over some parts lists. The one I need is a "2 piece" axle.

Looking for a left side axle for a 97 sport injected. Drive side bolt is ok. Some how the left side self welded itself to the swingarm. Had to cut the axle off just outboard of the caliper carrier. What a strange axle setup....anyway. ears are open thanks Andy

I just measured the swingarm shock mounting bolt on a 1100 Sport I . 12mm Dia. by 130mm length as measured to the inside face of the cap head.

I may have missed the answer to this but here goes.... looks like you already dropped the oil...so remove the adaptor from the oil pan. Take the adaptor and your new oil line to the local speed shop that sales AN fittings. They should be able to match it up.... no guarantees but pan side is probably metric, just need to figure out what size the oil line is. If Docc still has his fitting ...um....maybe he could measure it and let you know. Andy

or you could go the forged mag ....Marchesini forged wheels. Front should not be a problem. Rear is where your going to have trouble because of the drive set-up.

BST carbon wheels. You will have to have them custom made. They might have something that would work with an MGS-01 type of set-up. something tells me your not using a late model LeMans(2002-2005-6). Best contact them directly. A front and rear rim ......probably gonna be 2-3 times the cost of what you have in the bike. just guessing more power to ya !!!!!
