2or4strokes Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hi fellow guzzista Is the V10 gear box housing with gears complete interechangeable with the sports 1100i or V11? Are there any V10 members on this site? I amkeen to own one but have no idea how they are as compared to the 2 valver. Someone actually told me they are full of trouble. Any truth in this ?

Skeeve Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hi fellow guzzista Is the V10 gear box housing with gears complete interechangeable with the sports 1100i or V11?

V10 owners ?If you can help or are on this forum. To the best of my knowledge, the V10 models used the same 5 speed transmission that Guzzi had used for the previous 20 years [of course, this is subject to evolutionary enhancements & by-model variations...] Real Guzzi experts like Greg Field or Pete Roper can give you a definitive answer. The early Sport 1100s & Daytonas had straight-cut 5th gears that were prone to catastrophic failure, iirc. There're a couple of V10 owners on this site who can give you 1st hand accounts on maintenance & gearbox issues [one of them even having gone so far as to transplant a V11 6-speed tranny into his V10...] Ride on!

Paul Minnaert Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I'm not shure what you realy want to know, but gearboxhousing from v10 and sport 1100i is the same. But the gear ratios aren't. gearbox from v11 is completly different, but would fit in a v10 too, if exchanged with swingarm and complete cardan and reardrive.

jcbooghs Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 They are indeed completely interchangeable but will have another character. See the differences, first is V10, second is 1100Sport/Daytona1000 Primary 17/23 ratio 1,3529 1st 14/28 2,0000 2nd 19/25 1,3158 3rd 23/23 1,0000 4th 26/22 0,8462 5th 26/20 0,7692 Final 8/33 ratio 4,1250 (translation in theoretical speed at 8000rpm = 133,9 m/h or 216 km/hr) Primary 17/23 1,3529 1st 16/29 1,8125 2nd 20/25 1,2500 3rd 23/23 1,0000 4th 24/20 0,8333 5th 26/19 0,7308 Final 8/33 ratio 4,1250 (translation in theoretical speed at 8000rpm = 146,8 m/h or 236 km/hr) As for 'The early Sport 1100s & Daytonas had straight-cut 5th gears that were prone to catastrophic failure, iirc.' No catastrophic failure here since 1995, over 100,000 km, and not street-legal used. Maybe abused but I think she likes it! You can use any 5speed in a 5speed train. As you can use any final drive in function of acceleration or topspeed. The choice is yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
