New Moto Guzzi Door Mats Available Now
Is that glazing from the friction plates? Maybe try brake cleaner?
I'd replace the intermediate plate (the one from Cycle Garden seems to be the best quality of those currently available) and use an abrasive disc in an angle die grinder to dress the surface of the cover/ring gear and pressure plate.
How about taking a cut off the intermediate plate on my surface grinder?
Is the intermediate warped at all? If so, there is no hope for it. It's pretty thin to try to surface in any way. I've seen a heckuva lot worse and still running. Clutch is a clutch is a clutch as far as wear, it is directly affected by the operator. Looks like the bike has been enjoyed properly. New frictions and the steel, set of springs and back together.
Nope, it's not warped. Max wear is .003"Thanks, Curtiss..
You could risk just dressing it and reusing it then. I *hate* tearing a Guzzi all back apart for clutch work a second time, so I go new instead of risking it. <shrug>
True, I'd just buy all the bits.But what I REALLY want to see is the Sport transmission removal thread.
baited.
Thank you!!It pretty much confirms what I have thought. Frankly, so far most things on these bikes are pretty easy to access-this operation was the one thing I haven't had to do.130 mains worked? I'm a little surprised. I'll have to give that a go if I have something close, I'm on 160s that came with it, though I've changed out everything else. I thought I was going pretty good too..
Are you sure you haven't got oil leaking from the rear main seal on the clutch plates ? I would replace that seal and also the transmission input shaft seal since you already have it apart.

130 sounds small. Chuck, is the air filter in good shape?

K4 needle, bottom clip128 mains68 idle50/3 slide265 atomizersThe most important thing is the atomizer and needle combo. Good luck. Ed MilichEd, I found your LMIV jetting page a couple of years ago and rejetted my LMIV to match. What a difference over stock jetting or the mess I'd backed myself into trying to sort it out. I was living at about 2,000' altitude at the time, now I'm back about 300'. Not much adjustment needed so I'm leaving it alone. Plugs are still a light to medium brown and it pulls hard all the way up the tach.Thanks!Tobit
