I think the latch mount has slotted holes so it can be raised in height, maybe you just need to line it up closer?

note Nm, is that different from foot pounds?

I don't see it either but I found this chart in the 2000 V11 manual DESCRIPTION Nm (note) Nut and stud bolt for head-cylinder tie-rods 40÷42 Fastening screws for rocker pins 6÷8 Spark plugs 20÷30 Hollow screws fastening the oil delivery piping to the heads (ø8x1,25) 15÷18 Nut fastening the gearing to the camshaft 150 Intake pipe fastening screws 20 Fastening screws for connecting rod caps(ø10x1) 61÷66 Screws fastening the flywheel to the crankshaft(ø8x1,25) - using medium strength Loctite 40÷42 Flywheel crown fastening screws(ø6x1) 15÷17 Crankshaft pinion locking nut(ø25x1,5) 110÷120 Alternator locking nut(ø16x1,5) 80 Front and rear brake calipers draining union 7÷10 Oil filler cap in the gearbox and transmission housing 30 Clutch draining union 8÷12 Nut locking the bearing onto the tapered pinion 180÷200 Screws fastening the crown to the drilled pin 40÷42 Fastening screw for side stand support plate 70÷75 Front wheel spindle 90÷100 Rear wheel spindle screw (housing side) 120 Fastening screws for front and rear brake disks(ø8x1,25) 28÷30 Ring nut for gearbox main shaft, universal joint side 90 Ring nuts for gearbox secondary shafts 80 Ring nut for gearbox main shaft, clutch side 100 Head temperature sensor casing (using Loctite 601) 10÷12 Head temperature sensor 10÷12 Hollow screw fastening the clutch piping and front brake to the pump 20 Radiator oil piping unions 25÷30 STANDARD VALUES Screws and nuts ø 4 3÷3,5 Screws and nuts ø 5x0,8 6÷7 Screws and nuts ø 6x1 8÷12 Screws and nuts ø 8x1,25 25÷30 Screws and nuts ø 10x1,5 45÷50 Other tightening torques are indicated on the drawings for the suspension assemblies, front and rear wheel.

I just used a channel lock pliers to loosen that nut and replace it w/a hex nut.

Blasphemer, the Nero is the most stunning Guzzi ever.. keep as is..

My friends Scurra.. don't know what number it was but went thru 2 by 70,000 miles

snug down equally.

wouldn't that be a great solution?

valves set too tight?

"Like we've learned about wildfires: that's actually the way many of our forests rejuvenate themselves." good analogy.. If trump burns down the world will it rejuvenate a less racist world? I hope it doesn't come to that.. but I'm fully with you about any racists here, I don't like you neither!

check bullet connectors along steering neck/frame, left side under tank.

there's oil in your coffee cup..

won't they just rust up again ?

If I have a part you need and I'm not using it, I usually say free or very low price.. I still have some EV 1100 parts, Flywheel, used clutch, block, timing cover.. .complete fork/triple clamps/brace/headlight mounts ($200?) and more, anyone?

If the motor is out, tip it on it's nose so the springs won't want to fall out. or use a lttle silicone glue to hold them in place. yes make a compression tool.

Too bad your changing the look.. to me no other motorcycle has such a muscle bike profile..

I've got a set made by my friend.. $200 with an extension for the brake line included.

go to Greg Benders site, download free.. http://www.thisoldtractor.com/moto_guzzi_misc.html then print out a copy.. I did it at work so used their ink..

my Lemans (stock) had the same stumble at 3200 and when I got rid of the stock crossover for a Mistral the stumble went away.. I did not have the front balance pipe tho..

first I would load test the battery.

I do think there is a difference.. in the bottom plastic and you might be able to modify it.. or if it was only $125. you should be able to flip it and not loose any money..

as to vibration.. make sure both tires are balanced. and steering head bearings tightened to spec... also the forks have compression in one and damping in the other leg, some miss match in settings could set up some vibration? I doubt the TB sync would cause that much vibes accept at idle. note that the steering neck/frame bolts right to the timing chest of the motor, vibration is inherent in the design so if the motor is not well balanced you shake..

seat looks re-worked.. bars look really nice, no idea what they are.. if you need a steering dampner go for something after market. stock wears out fast. I never thought it was needed but the 02 and later have slightly less rake.. Nice looking bike w/low miles, good for you!
