lovely trip account Bill. thanks

"craigsinclair" that is the post I've been looking for. Just to clarify, my reference to drill bits was meant for measuring the hole only.

the 6spd rod is 8mm. I have a spare 5spd clutch with "button" but no rod. The hole mics at 6.5mm but I used drill bits to find one that fits best. Of course I'm missing the perfect size but I'd guess 6.4-6.6 would work well. In my drill index I have a 6.39 (fits) and a 6.52 (won't fit)

I've posted this before. It's been on epay over a year. He only has 1 feedback, so who knows? It's the correct one. http://www.ebay.ie/itm/NEW-Moto-Guzzi-V11-Sport-Clutch-Gear-for-single-plate-clutch-GU01211640-/272216373516 There weren't washers on my oem flywheel bolts, and the RAM kit didn't include any. Nothing on the instructions either.

These 2 on ebay are guzzitech as a seller. they look like they are the same unit to me, but are listed separately. Either a mistake or he has 2 http://www.ebay.com/itm/moto-guzzi-sport-1100-V11-sport-flywheel-clutch-assembly/272724139451?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 http://www.ebay.com/itm/moto-guzzi-sport-1100-V11-sport-flywheel-clutch-assembly/322561966899?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

ZAZ... one of my new faves. Thanks Chuck. Excellent.

Well, first change out the clutch/flywheel. There are a couple of used dual plate clutches on ebay right now from guzzitech. Then the one thing the Tenni is missing is Ohlins suspension. Then, since the bike was free, have a fuel tank made of aluminum. Leave it unpolished. Carbon fiber fenders. And some new, free flow cans.

Looks great Blighty. Smart friends too.

oh yeah, ...throttle bodies They are 50mm. it's been a long day

Don't know who did the machining on those, but the source motor is a 550 Honda with 2 cyl added. Should be quite reliable. They didn't use 6 carbs like the CBX did. Sweet bike

I just happen to have my motor out. The intakes are 46mm OD

What scud said, and I would add what I did is move the gears slightly with my fingers till each spins freely. spin the rear wheel to be sure. Pay close attn to how the selector mechanism comes apart to get it back right, since it has to come out -and go back partially assembled. Neutral is where scud said. You can be sure of neutral by observing that the neutral switch "spring ball" falls into the small dimple on the back side of the selector gear.

I love the bike Bill. Arrow high pipe standard? And is that a steel tank at last? Looks like it 'could' be a scrambler if ya wanted to. I spent almost 2 years at Bragg... long ago. Is there a date yet for this year's SSR?

someone's been to the flea market.

Yes, to what docc says ^^^ It be a small outward pressure coil that breaks without warning and you're stuck in 'whatever' gear.

I've sung it's praises before. Get a piece of sheep skin with the heavy wool on. I use it for all lengthy rides. Vents, sheds water. Some think it's ugly.

as above ^^ excellent documentation Scud! What about the shaft seal? Wasn't a problem?

you sir, are a machine

I thought that's what we are here for! The new owner will learn a lot here. Even to clean up for a living room, that bike will need some attention. Hopefully, he/she will be a rider, find V11 LM.com, and become a "valued member of the team" (that be a joke around my work) "found" at Sonny Angel Cycle shop mad me think 'Sonny Barger - Hells Angel' affiliation ... nope, it's this interesting guy- cool story. http://www.guzzitech.com/forums/threads/sonny-angel-moto-guzzi-calls-it-quits-hes-earned-it.8251/ Anyone have an experience with this shop/guy? Not that Mr Barger is uninteresting. His book is a cool read, even with the omission of all the crap he obviously can't say. anyway... good luck to the new owner. 8k is not a horrible price for a 'new' bike. The Tenni listed for 13990. as I recall, I paid 11,875. after it sat for almost a year at Harpers.

what's in the box Bill?

welcome im38! Try to get some pics up sometime of those lovely Guzzis

Thanks lowryter. I got a slew of Pyro Dans' GEI's as well. Had 1 #5 fail after one season. Can't say for sure what's behind relay fails. Bad relay or problematic conditions? Chuck. Nope, it's an early 2000. could be a 99 build, not sure. The vin falls into the early pre "canted" trees (per info on this forum) http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18331 Docc providing some good "early bike" info. The bike in question has a front axle nut, putting it into the early bike category, per Greg Feld. I haven't seen under the seat, but he says he only has 3. It's a bike I was looking to buy and that was unexpected.
