Well,allright, I see how it is. for gods sake, no one told me, I've never
seen this "mysterious ball bearing", as far as I'm concerned it doesn't
exist. Ignorance is bliss..
John's speedo still worked. Lots of things a Guzzi can run without and be
just fine......

Hey man,
I know about the washer.. and care was taken everytime I had to deal
with the speedo drive, but I still don't know anything about a ball bearing.
I guess this is something the could be "set free" with just the gear
removed? Hmmm, could that explain why the bike has a taste for speedo
cables?
Not to sound like a bratt, but I'm surprised I don't know this.... I
know everything.....I hate surprises. damn it.

Hey Kev...nope, it is a four speed Ambo tranny. There is a small steel
ball that acts as a key in a channel/keyway to secure the speed drive worm
gear onto its shaft. I don't know if a 5 speed uses one or not. This midwest
winter sucks bad this year...almost too cold to get into the garage to work
on Dreamcycle. Cheers, Brett
