cash1000 90 Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Speedo finally died. Happened 10ks after leaving home on trip to Dunedin weekend before last It had been swinging wildly for a while so it was no surprise. Solution seems to be replace with new from Speedhut or get repalred. There is company called Parrots here in Christchurch that I know have repaired another V11 speedo with same problem. Can you get the parts to repair them yourself? I’ve found the video on youtube which gives some idea of what’s involved Motoguzzi V11 Sport Rosso Mandello 2001 Overhaul of speedometer and tachometer - YouTube Thoughts? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
docc 4,174 Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Did the fellow in the video only clean and lubricate it? No parts required? How many kilometers has yours gone, @cash1000? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cash1000 90 Posted February 22 Author Report Share Posted February 22 I've just replaced speedo cable & run with & without angle drives & speedo still misbehaving (Posted a couple of weeks ago) But to eliminate possibility will disconnect speedo from speedo cable and run bike. If cable still turns its the speedo? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cash1000 90 Posted February 23 Author Report Share Posted February 23 Done that. Its the Angle Drive that's broken. It didn't appear to be a month ago when I fitted new speedo cable. Must have been in process of failing Many thanks Doc for pointing me in right direction. Also found out I was fitting speedo cable the wrong way around Stumbled across fitting instructions when looking for new angle drive Moto Guzzi Angle Drive Replacement v11 SP 04768300-tlm gu04768300 gu047683 04 | eBay Yet to refit cable so fingers crossed it will solve speedo - tomorrow nights job 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cash1000 90 Posted April 1 Author Report Share Posted April 1 Fitted new Speedo cable the correct way around without the angle drive a few weeks ago Speedo back going again sort off Its back to its old habit of wildly swinging then settling down I think its only a matter of time before it dies completely I did find a repair kit on Ebay but clicking on sellers link caused computer to do the 'blue screen of death' Not good So be careful out there 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I assume you cleaned it. I use this for all my non hydro bike clutch and brake cables, as well as speedo. I just drip it in at the top till it feels right https://www.triflowlubricants.com/product/tri-flow-superior-lubricant-drip-bottle/ 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cash1000 90 Posted April 6 Author Report Share Posted April 6 Speedo behaved same way with both old & new speedo cable. So not so easy solution 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

docc 4,174 Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Thanks, mate! I couldn't bring myself to buy a fourth Veglia speedo. The Speedhuts make me nervous in the rain, but 20,000 miles so-far-so-good. Steady, accurate speed and odo. Illumination is stunning. We shall see if they actually outlast my usual 27,000-30,000 mile lifespan of my Veglias . . . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
