Gearbox recall status

More details on the recalled/failure prone "hoses" can be found on this thread:  

Highlighted parts are what failed and I also included some pics of how they look in pieces in the gearbox as well... My bike is a 2002 but according to Piaggio outside the recall range. I was able to find the replacement parts, but it was less expensive to purchase a newer gearbox and swap the parts. Not a cheap endeavor if paying a shop (16 hours r&r on the trans) but for me it was worth it. I had a new clutch installed while it was apart and had all bearings, seals, gaskets, etc replaced as well (that were readily accessible during the job). Now at least I know what I have and also have a spare gearbox on the shelf in the event I need it in the future... I forgot all about the cost after my first full day on the bike. Good luck in your search and don't let a little gearbox recall deter you, there's plenty else that could go wrong :lol:
