Baldini Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 My 02 Scura stuck in third gear at 2,500 miles. This seems to be a very common problem on this forum - Can anybody talk me thru the fix? It stuck first in 3rd then I managed to get neutral, now it'll only go to 2nd. Thanks. KB, Wales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Minnaert Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Broken spring, can be reached from behind then starterengine. Search a bit in the forum and you will find it. It is a warranty issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldini Posted June 13, 2003 Author Share Posted June 13, 2003 I'm going to have a look see in the cover, replace spring if it's broke - is there anything I should look out for? I've found a lot of previous discussion here about this. I need to know: 1. Is the problem the spring or the base or both? 2. Is there a modified Guzzi part/parts? 3. Part numbers?

Murray Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 Actually the local Guzzi guru said something about a recall regarding this very problem anyone else heard of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callison Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 Just now getting around to replying. There was a guy on the v11lemans site in Texas who made a bunch of springs after he suffered the same problem twice. Then he disappeared from sight. I did buy one of his springs though, and it has a less abrupt radius so it shouldn't fail like the stock one has. I have a 2001 V11SportTT and apparently, I won't need the spring as the problems showed up with the 2002 year. I just looked in my desk drawer and I do still actually have it (the spring) and you're welcome to it, just email me your address so I know where to ship it to.

Baldini Posted June 14, 2003 Author Share Posted June 14, 2003 Carl, I've e-mailed you my address. Please let me know if it doesn't come thru. Thanks, KB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
