Here's 2 more: Yes, @Baldini, looks to be the rear bearing of the upper lay shaft. Both @guzzi323 and @Bjorn's gearbox failures look to have broken a piece off of the gearbox "back case cover" that houses that rather large rear bearing. Another place for a careful crack check, @cash1000 . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 A point of potential confusion, perhaps, is that both of these images are taken looking from "outside" the back of the gearbox with the rearmost cover removed: guzzi323's V11, looking back to front: Bjorn's V11, looking back to front, from above, with the gearbox lying on its front face: But, then, @cash1000's failed bearing seen from inside the gearbox, looking front to back with the gearbox lying on its back cover: Could that back cover be damaged from the bearing failure (like the other two)?

pete roper Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Once you've pulled the outer race out you'll be able to see clearly enough. Upper pic in doc's post the gear oil looks horribly contaminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldini Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Emulsified? Can't remember exactly what it looks like when fresh. this from a vintage 12 years old bottle... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete roper Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Oh, OK, it's some of that *Magic* oil that people rave about. Sorry, my mistake carry on. I use oil that doesn't rely on gimmicks but that's me. I'm pretty dumb.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 A lot of people (on this forum) use this oil. My bikes had this. I changed this out and installed Motorcraft synthetic. When I had drained this out , I liked the way it felt after 100k mi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks thin, like that, if you pour a little off the top after the bottle has been sitting. If you shake it up well, it will likely look milky like that oil out of guzzi323's gearbox. [Note: I edited my post with the three images to better emphasize those are from three different V11.] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The failed bearing was rear one on upper lay shaft. Can any one point out in parts diagram which is the bearing that failed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cash1000 Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 Working on what needs to be done to install flywheel & clutch Found this on Greg Benders website for an 850T. The clutch is different for the RM but is the instructions correct for the flywheel for the RM?

andy york Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Big bearings are not listed on that parts page. Only bearings on there are the ones that go on each shaft that the gears themselves actually rotate on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy york Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 If in fact it is the rear bearing on the Output shaft( the one the driveshaft connects to), that bearing Guzzi part #92201141 ( might be an old number ) - it is a 40 x 68 x 15 ball bearing. Any good bearing house should be able to get them. easy access to parts diagrams on Harpers web site Now that I think about it I might have one in my favorite draw. I will have to go look 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldini Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 It's the rear bearing on the upper lay shaft. #23 in this drawing. Part# 92 20 12 25 (ball bearing 25x52x15) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but don’t you have to be a paid member? I’m too cheap for that. If I’m wrong please disregard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
