Hi Ed,
If you have the bearing out and the number is legible, it may be possible to get it from a local bearing dealer. If not available locally, try Emerson Bearing
http://www.emersonbearing.com/in Boston, MA. I bought all of the bearings for my rear drive from them for what the dealer list price is on the large ball-bearing only. Also, check with Agostini, http://www.agostiniduilio.com - the Euro is gaining strength against the dollar, but there's still savings to be had.
Do you mean #13 on Plate 8 in the Eldo parts manual? Has a semi-circular retainer that bolts to the rear cover? Likely the RIV part number will be of little use to a bearing dealer, but the dimensions may. It's listed as a RIV 3205, 25x52x20.8 (mm). Guzzi part no. 9221 8424
There's a slim chance I may have a good NOS one in my stash, I'll check it out and let you know. Cheers,
Charlie

Just took the cover off the back of my 5 speed transmission to replace the shift return spring and found the bearing in the cover that is retained by the clip is shot. I believe this is the output shaft bearing. I have found a generic replacement that is a sealed bearing but since the speedo drive gear on the other side needs lubrication, will I be cutting off the supply with a sealed bearing? I do see 2 little cut-outs in the housing wall that this bearing rides in that can possibly allow gear lube to find its way to the speedo gear. Anyone have experience with replacing this bearing and also know of a generic replacement. My replacement is $ 20.00 as compared to the $50 to $60 that I am seeing elsewhere. Thanks in advance for all replys. Ed Flanagan |
