@ronkom, Lucky Phil discusses the eccentric adjustment in his How To thread (among several other aspects that may help your shifting):

I’m trying to visualize what that “con rod” is, @Cabernet....

My MotoItaliane book arrived today after about four weeks only (shipped from The Netherlands). Looking forward to enjoying more about Moto Guzzi. Thanks, p6x, for the recommendation!

Certainly worth inspecting, adjusting, and perhaps tightening the external shift mechanism. Make sure the two "arms" are parallel with one another. Sometimes the pivot bolt benefits from a shim to reduce slop. Even after performing (most) of Lucky Phil's excellent Shift Improvement, I still preload the lever and take up the clutch play to get best shifts.

My cut-off spacers are 23mm plus the 20mm I cut off (yes, of course I saved those pieces twenty years!) plus about 1mm for the saw kerf = 44mm. So, maybe even 45mm taking into account some measuring and rounding error and the cut-off being slightly out of square?

Love to see some images of that shock set-up. buddy! How does it miss the battery tray?

And, yep, they'll carry a full case of 12oz North American Longnecks . . .

So, here's an image of a Tekno beside what my rack looks like with the shortened spacer. Pretty sure the original spacers are about 40mm. Too much stand-off for my tastes. Note the lower mount is on the outside of the passenger peg/ exhaust hanger. I chose this in order to mount the canister as far inboard as possible to narrow the exhaust profile. Also, see that the two clamped "stops" are moved all the way forward here as I am not looking to accommodate a pillion. The lower can also be mounted to the inside with the exhaust outboard if you prefer:

They do clear. There is a tubular spacer for the front mounting point that some of us have shortened to bring them in a bit closer. There are two versions of the bags/brackets. Mine are the earlier type without the additional rear cross brace. No instructions I know of, but lots of discussion and some images. I'll scare some up later this evening for you . . .

Oh, hey: " strain relief ! "

@BramF, a broken wire at the sensor is probably most common. Especially after some "handling." Resoldering the wire to the sensor base, then applying an epoxy retention blob (I'm sure there is a better technical name for that known method!) may save the day . . .

How about set up your temp tan to the pump and connect a longer return line back to the regulator on the main tank nearby? The fuel dosn't have to return to the same tank unless you're going somewhere . . .

Welcome, Tomas! If the bike didn't stutter, the water did not enter through the intakes. The three places that come to mind to inspect are the crankcase vent hose at the rear/top of the engine, distributor block-off plate at the top-right of the engine inboard of the back of the right cylinder, and the dip stick. Let us know what you find!

You’ll need a fuel pump, as well, yah?

Shock: yes triples: ? Also, not sure that axle fits the earlier wheel??

Pretty sure I just saw one on US ebay. edit: I see three: https://www.ebay.com/itm/moto-guzzi-v11-sport-lemans-fuel-level-sender/324479724769?hash=item4b8c7face1:g:vXwAAOSwT~dgIYfV This one is from a '99EV: https://www.ebay.com/itm/99-Moto-Guzzi-V11-V-11-EV-V11EV-gas-fuel-level-Sensor-sending-unit/273583812267?hash=item3fb2ddaeab:g:H48AAOSwg-tb~oTihttps://www.ebay.com/itm/99-Moto-Guzzi-V11-V-11-EV-V11EV-gas-fuel-level-Sensor-sending-unit/273583812267?hash=item3fb2ddaeab:g:H48AAOSwg-tb~oTi And NOS, $119.99US: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Moto-Guzzi-V10-Fuel-Level-Sensor-Sending-Unit-GU01103001-2688/293933931228?hash=item446fd3dadc:g:n98AAOSwgPtf7ObP

Yah, just edited the post to add that link. Not sure what to make of the prices. I mean, it is Öhlins, after all . . .

@TeddyG , I spotted these V11 Öhlins front forks with triples: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2004-03-05-Moto-Guzzi-V11-Cafe-Sport-Fork-Tubes-Front-Suspension-Tree-OHLINS/324083689232?hash=item4b74e4a710:g:Ng0AAOSwa6heVLZS And the shock from the same Café Sport: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2004-03-05-Moto-Guzzi-V11-Cafe-Sport-OHLINS-Rear-Shock-Suspension-Spring-Assy/324083726874?fits=Model%3AV11|Make%3AMoto+Guzzi&hash=item4b74e53a1a:g:4wAAAOSwSydeVMNF

The failure is not in the angle drives (especially the lower one at the gearbox), or the cable?

A couple guys have already made reservations. Coming on six months out, so I suppose I should get with it and make mine . . . https://www.lodgeattellico.com/ There are other places around that folks stay, or camp, but this is the locus. And where most of the tools get put to use. Definitely where the deals go down . . . . . . and photo ops of celebs . . .

Wow, that's almost 25,000 more Ks than any of my three made it . . .

Did the fellow in the video only clean and lubricate it? No parts required? How many kilometers has yours gone, @cash1000?

I found one of my Route books and a couple Route Cards that I made to get to the Barber Vintage Festival entirely on backroads and around all the little towns. The cards are just sections of the DelOrme copied in black&white, then highlighted to read at a glance. Worked a charm. Had I been on my Sport, I would have been using the Zūmo, but was on the Honda GB 500 that year with a tankbag only . . .
