So the newer model is 3 mm shorter?
Here is a link to a video of the bike from a cold start and after its been idling a few minutes. The bike was purchased from NC Steve about a year and a half ago. Walk around / Cold Start - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoEgflk_6cI Idling for 3 mins - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZTO_vBjCY8
Could easily be. If the spring is stiffer, it might not need as much preload.
Heres a bit more info,"little bit of oil weeping out of the flywheel inspection hole...Looks like gear oil"Seller is a really nice guy who is being honest.asking price is $2800
Lets say its the clutch pushrod seals. Do I have to pull the rear wheel, swingarm, and crab the frame? I cant see where those seals are in the service manual. Does the gearbox case have to come off?

Yes, that was my Mille GT, and I just this thread.Unfortunately, I'm going out the door now, but would like to watch Robert's You Tube videos when I get back in a few hours, and add or answer anything I can. Milles are nice bikes, and are very often undervalued and unappreciated.
After a test drive I couldnt resist and brought her home. Look for another thread to tidy up the loose ends.
One of my biggest headaches had been the 1 into 2 throttle cable design, and I was into the right throttle & switchgear a few times. I'm told that the Cal III may have had the same design? I replaced the cable splitter under the tank and installed 2 new cables just before it sold, but never got everything adjusted fully, although it ran good. There was a problem with the starter button in there too, but it worked, and it appears Robert fixed it.
Steve or Robert, quick question for you. I went into the console and dashboard last night since the red ig. switch wire kept falling off its terminal. I noticed the redwire from the ig. switch had a brown wire spliced in. This was preventing the ig. boot from sealing up the back of the switch. Any idea where that wire goes? I'll trace it down but was hoping you'd save me the trouble. Otherwise, the bike is sorting out. The gauges are no longer zip tied to the dashboard. It does appear that the clutch push rod seals are leaking. The back of the gearbox under the clutch arm is wet. I cleaned it off last night and will see what weeps out. I'd hate to pull the gearbox since its spring and the bike runs great. It does seem a little slow to warm up and i'm guessing its lean on the pilot/idle jets. Thanks for the history and hope to run into you guys again some day. I'll be at the Bull City rumble later this year and Rockers vs Mods in Charlotte.Toby

A leak from that location isn't the clutch pushrod seals, it's the throw-out bearing outer body o-ring.
I took a quick look at my 90 Mille. I have the wires all taped together leading into the ignition switch so unless I pull the switch I cannot see if the brown wired is spliced into the red. If you are desperate I'll pull the switch but this is what I have leading out of the switch. 4 wires: 2 large gauge 10/12? wires, one red and one brown, and two smaller wires 14/16 gauge. One green and one white. They lead back into the harness and get lost after that. BTW the purpose of all the electrical tape is to keep the ignition boot from sliding off. It was a never ending battle keeping the boot in place: hence I just taped the wires together at the end of the boot.
The hadlight IS inadequate. It's a 45/55 watt incandescent lamp and the alternator doesn't keep up with the lights until after 3k rpm.
