[Can you advise?]

I recently bought a "02" V11 LeMans that was laid down. Damage was/is minor and I have most of it fixed.  But the clutch won't work.  It makes the right sound with the motor running and I feel resistence in the lever but still doesn't work.  I tried to bleed the system but didn't help.  I suspect that a pocket of air is trapped and the clutch won't completely engage.  I'm sure the bike was up-side down during the crash so I've suspected air entrapment all along. The dust cover over the pump on the lever looks wet, maybe a rebuild on the pump? Does any of this sound familar?  Please help....

Clutch working! First test ride on Christmas eve...

After advise from: jrt, ratchethack, & Mike Stewart I got the clutch working. The bike had been down hard about 7 months ago. After a lot of clutch bleeding I noticed the master cylinder leaking and making a wet noise. Replaced with a set from Ducati (cant get new guzzi parts at present). With new parts on, the clutch still didn't work. The dry matalic sound of the clutch with the motor running was similar to my old Quota but louder. After running the motor for about 5 min with the clutch lever pulled, the sound changed. The clutch worked and away I went... What a ride!

Thanks for your help...

[LeMans Windshield]

Looking for a windshield for my 02 LeMans. I'm interested in the Gustafsson +5" replacement. Any advise or suggestions....

Hey I'm in Canton also! Send me a pm & maybe we can get together. I'm not the best mechanic but you never know. It would be great to have a Guzzi guy to ride with in the spring.

I'll bet we have meet at one of the local breakfasts, I used to ride a Quota...The saga continues with my clutch problem. I've ordered a new master cylinder assembly from Crooked River Ducati, Akron. Guzzi parts are hard to get these days. I could hear it pushing air the last time I tried to bleed the system. Closer inspection shows damage from the crash. We should get together some time after christmas. I'll keep in touch..

[Wanted]

I bought a "slightly Laid Down" 02 LeMans and need some parts: Choke control switch, Rear brake lever.

 

Found that Buell XB12 mirrors work well at a fraction of the Guzzi price! Turn signals also...

 

List is getting smaller
