That is amazing. Where do I get one!
Is there a similar notice like this that explains the issue (and how to resolve it - torque values etc.) that I could bring to my mechanic here in Spain. I just about understand the problem from reading the threads on here (I have the notch but living with it for now) but I don't understand it enough to explain to a mechanic. |

Great that Cheeky posted this new tech note to the wiki (and great that I already got the greasebolts from mjm - thanks again). This discussion caused me to look at the wiki and I noticed that tech note 19-2010 (the one about the preload adjustment) never made it to the wiki. Maybe Cheeky or someone else with access to the Piaggio materials could touch that base (for the good of the order).
