Here is one more video.
I will get back tomorrow. Need some sleep....

the red arrows turn independently from the blue arrows

Hi,
nothing in the wheel is turning. It is only the big bevel gear (#29) that is spinning on its shaft
-
2004 Ballabio with close to 40K.
Pretty sure this is not supposed to do this. I thought it was the clutch at first, but the driveshaft turns while in gear but the rear wheel doesn't.
I pulled my rear box off and found the 32 bevel gear spins on its axis. Did I shear a key? Has anyone seen this before?
I don't drag race all the time...
I haven' been able to find the part. I may buy a complete assembly and rebuild.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
thanks in advance.

All paid up Chuck. Thanks again. I'll throw it on when I install my Roper plate. That is going to be a nice weekend.
Cheers,
Anthony

Thanks Chuck. I'll check back often. You don't have to tell me twice.

Hi Chuck,
Put me down for one if there are any remaining.
Thanks,
Anthony

Mine arrived today. Thanks again Pete and Scud! And thanks for making a donation to the forum.
Cheers.

I will definitely take one. Thanks to you and Pete.

Yes. But I have to jump fast, which I normally do not do. I will hear about 3 to 4 valve clicks as I rocket out in front, then it goes away. I assume that the oil is sloshed back during the initial acceleration and the engine is starved for an instant. I hope the Roper plate will alleviate this.
Hey, I lane split here at every light and I have to get out in front. Sometimes I have to drag race.
-
Hi ScudI would like one too. I'm tired of the chatter during fast starts.
That takes us to about 20 plates.
Not meaning to turn this into too much of a tech thread, but are you assuming that fast starts are starving your engine of oil and contributing to some sort of mechanical noise?
I can occasionally hear a little valve chatter if I take off too fast. It only lasts a second.
I usually slow down before the red light comes on.

Oh yea, I am in California.

I would like one too. I'm tired of the chatter during fast starts.

It's considerably easier (and quicker) to have a Guzzi rear wheel off and back on properly than any chain drive. I take it you've brought the dealer in question a tire you sourced elsewhere? In this case, the "extra labor" charge is your shop's way of telling you he doesn't want, or appreciate this business.
I see your point. Since the extra labor was mentioned with the impression that I would buy the tires from this dealership, I will drive the extra mile to the Guzzi dealer. As soon as I can get an Abba stand here in the states I will be following your advice about removing my own tires and search for a nice humble shop. thanks!

I visited my local Triumph/Ducati dealer to inquire a tire change. the gentleman said there would be extra labor $$$ to deal with the shaft drive. I haven't yet removed the rear wheel myself, but it looks easier than dealing with a chain. Any thoughts? -thanks Anthony

I wear Tour Master Response SC Road Boots. They have a laces under the giant velcro flaps. Very easy to get on and off. I wore them camping at Laguna Seca and even played frisbe without any discomfort. They have ankle protection which I haven't tested yet.

That was the intention. Now that I look at the explosion diagram again, I'm not sure.

I just completed a successful test drive. All six gears nice and smooth.
The culprit was the 13mm nut (red arrow & red dot). This seems to be a prawl stop. The cam will stop the prawl just at the right point. Attached are photos.
red dot= adjustment cam thing
green and blue dots= points on the prawl to show position and how the cam stops each direction of movement.
It's true, a few degrees rotation will stop up or down shifts.

Thanks for your help Dan, I'm on it.

Hi, mine is a 04 Ballabio. I just replaced the prawl spring (MG Cycle). After a few tries, I managed to get the cover back on by aligning the four shift pins to the gear slots. Now I have 1st, neutral, 2nd, and with some wiggling, 3rd, and no others. Would the new spring warrant an adjustment to the eccentric adjuster (big acorn nut thing)?
Additionally, there is a 13mm nut that connects to an off center shaft that resides over the back of the prawl arm. I turned this and could not remember what setting it originally was. What is this?
I have to take the cover off again and add some sort of liquid gasket because of a leak. Is there some adjustment I can do while inside?
Thanks,
Anthony

Thanks everyone. I like this option as a starting point.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Cheers.
