frankwalter Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Hey guys I'm struggling to take off the gauge cluster bezel on my '02 V11 LeMans. I don't know how to get the backing off the bezel. How do I get the trip knob off? Is it a press in or something else? I'm really vexed on how to do this any help would be great. Also I need to find a shop around annapolis Maryland that can use a gas analyzer and Dyno test my Guzzi to fix the fuel mixture. We have balanced the carbs as best we can and we need the fine adjustment that they can give us. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four nuts hold the back of the instrument cluster on. Remover the speedo draive first. It's easier. Cheers guzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy york Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 My 02 lemans has a Phillips screw holding the knob on.

Ghostrider Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 There may be different methods of attaching this trip reset knob......possibly dependent on what brand of speedometer is used. I had a broken knob on my 2004 Coppa Italia recently and found that there is a small phillips head screw located in the center of the plastic knob. This held the plastic knob to a brass shaft that is connected to the trip reset stem that goes to the inside of the speedometer. That small phillips head screw is a normal RH thread and I removed it by holding the knob while turning the screw to the left. Once that is removed the plastic knob simply slides off. Finding a replacement knob is another story. I finally made one out of stainless steel on my lathe and reinstalled it using the same phillips head screw. It works great now and looks like a custom piece. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI white faced Veglia gauges were used on V11s up until '02 in the USA. After that they came with black faced ITI gauges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Hartman Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Frank, To clarify: You're spinning the shaft (and knob) clockwise. 'Clockwise' means it's not turning the tripometer. You might have to give it a little push/pull as you do this to release any loctite that might be in there. The end of the shaft that you can't see is hollow with threads in its interior. The shaft turns onto a miniscule screw emerging from the trip roller. Yes, I just replaced a lost reset shaft. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
