"Goin' down to [V'leven] Alleeeeey . . . See what is goin' on" . . .

Every now and then I'm reminded why I do this. 220 miles without oil! I'm thinking the drive escaping this unscathed is about zero. You could fill it up and run it for a few miles and check the mag plug again and drained oil as docc suggested but I'm thinking it will be a long shot. Phil

I managed to find this detailed imaged of the brake side emphasizing the "Make-damn-sure Zip-tie " and the location of the "Little ball." Pretty sure, on the clutch side it is a little plastic puck as the switch actuator, but still too easy to let fall out . . .

And, "for the record" . . .

I was three weeks old, the last time a French rider won the GP. I think they broadcasted the race by telegraph.

200 miles with no oil? It’s scrap. If memory serves me correctly the Quota uses the 8/33 gear set so best bet would be find a Cali 1100 final drive from a pre 2002 model, (I think it was ‘02 they went to the deeper splined hub?) and use that. You might need to swap the spacer in the box but other than that it would bolt straight on. Oh, and remove the shock mount.

This works better Mick. https://www.vpw.com.au/rts-differential-master-bearing-kit-suit-9-inch-fo~11881110?srsltid=AfmBOopXnV4Xpxp0oigPC_g1CdqnDRp_tm0eLfX7JR3rW8Pa-IDCz1sdr7o Or this https://torqueking.com/product/90008/qu90008-gear-marking-compound/?sku=90008&srsltid=AfmBOoo6Dfn4xw3NZpGj4RmlrrgORGXrx_2hsxUN2UvKucPvA3IJ_Le9sFw

Aha...well that's a good live version indeed! I had his record version on the big screen today in fact and in the car...that voice, that guitar picking...never gets old! Time for a return trip to the Mississippi Delta...a few years ago, I stopped thru at the BB King museum in Indianola, and another stop at Sun Studios in Memphis... Time for a Guzzi / Blues Tour baby!

That's a good version of Tin Pan Alley....I also really like the one from Lucky Peterson...truly an epic version.

Just drill a small lockwire hole in the shroud to wire to or an angled hole in the drain plug boss. Phil

If you pour something through to rinse the box through the drain hole, does any metal swarf come out that would indicate damage?

Makes me feel really good about what is left of mySport.

I see the ad is "ended", and a further look at all the photos indicates that the poor thing was once a Greenie. One can only hope that she has been passed on to someone with enough decency to restore her to her former glory.

So, on the way "home from work" today, I stopped off in Königsbronn and bought this.

I feel the urge to clarify that If it is "the same" in the sense that the brakes stay "pumped up" and still have a good feel after standing for some minutes with no wheel rotation, the problem is probably the disk or bearings or something at that end. Something that pushes the pads back away from the disk when the wheel rotates, causing them to need to be "pumped back up" when the brakes are applied. If it "the same" in the sense that the brakes need "pumping up" again after standing for some time, there is probably air in the system that needs bleeding out.

Whatever you think doesn't matter . The Tariffmeister is in charge of that whim !

You can test that thought w/the bike sitting still. Pump the rear brake w/your foot three Xs and see if it gets better every stroke. If it does , let it sit for 60 seconds . If it is the same , you MIGHT have a warped rotor . Get the rear wheel off the ground and rotate the wheel . If the rotor is warped you will see the lateral movement and see the warp in the rotor. Also , try moving the wheel to see if there is lateral movement there . There should be NONE .
