  2. Located in Phoenix. 12,500 miles. A number of mods/add ons: Mistral exhaust, Stucchi crossover, easily removable MPH bar risers, Pro Italia bar-end weights (significantly reduce vibration), Tekno soft saddlebags. Also comes with an OEM shop stand and the original silencers and crossover. Price reflects the need for a few things to be done: tach looks great but has a short in it that more often than not means it does not work, clutch lever needs to be replaced (tip broke off), starter cover developed a crack that eventually meant I had to take it off, minor tune-up needed to deal with an occasional miss. That said, the bike is in great condition and has been garaged kept and well looked after all its life. Have original owners manual and printout of workshop manual and parts list. For whatever reason I cannot get pictures to post. Bike is silver. If interested best to reach me at mjdoliveira@yahoo.com.

  4. Gentlemen, Thank you for all of your input -- will do as recommended and let you know the results.
  5. Used to have a Power Commander but removed it because of eerily similar problems assuming it was a short in the PC, though at that time the problem went away. Unfortunately have no understanding of the TPS and what is required -- something I will need to bone up on.
  6. Hello everyone, I have a 2000 Sport. Under light throttle the engine will tend to miss but never actually stop running. Once you open it up the miss goes away, for instance it accelerates hard without any problem. I see some problems mentioned about the electric petcock, but I would imagine that the problem would then exist under all throttle conditions. Dirty fuel injectors? No issue with tank suck as I've removed all of the plumbing associated with the vapor recapture system. Thanks for your help!
  7. Have a V11 Sport and a Honda VFR 800 Interceptor. Family commitments have severely impacted my riding time. Figured the VFR was the more practical bike and about 6 months back put the V11 up for sale because I could use the money but pulled the ad as soon as someone expressed an interest. Fast forward about 6 months and I can still use the money so the V11 goes back up for sale -- this time I'm going to be ruthless and do it. Had been riding the Honda more and the V11 needed a small amount of work (nothing more than brake pads) so it was sitting. Installed the brake pads and took it out for a ride. Came home and told the wife (again) that I could not part with the bike. She told me (again) that I was an idiot for even thinking about selling it. I have to agree with her.
  8. $4,500. 12,000 miles. Mistral pipes, Stutcci crossover, Teknic bags, MPH billet bar risers, Pro Italia bar-end weights. Still have the original pipes and crossover and they can go with the bike. Also have the shop stand. Bike is in excellent condition except for a couple of minor items: plastic starter cover needs to be replaced, and the tach is erratic -- most likely a grounding problem. Hate to sell the bike but I'm not riding it much. Located in Phoenix, AZ. Send me a PM if interested.

    Just lost one on my Honda VFR 800 -- fell out somewhere while I was riding. Downside to the ones that do not require drilling.
  10. That's the one! Thank you! Good advice on the valve cover gaskets.
  11. There's a great valve adjustment thread somewhere in here -- includes re-torquing the head and has great pics. Can't find it again so if anyone knows where it is I'd be most appreciative if you let me know. Thanks.
  12. ...and that is the reason that the V11 is still around.
  13. Thanks -- apparently the CD I'll get will have the parts manual included. Also includes the owner's manual.
  14. When I left California the very fine gentleman at Moto Guzzi Classics (Mark) recommended EP&F (Encore Performance and Fabrication). They're about 120 miles away. There's still a dealer here in Phoenix (Arizona Superbike), but I'm going to take a trip up to EP&F on Saturday for the fun of it. As for the chain, what a pain! Have not owned a chain-operated bike since 1979. Good thing with the VFR is the single-sided swingarm, makes adjusting the tension a snap. Presently trying to figure out why the chain seems to have different amounts of play at different points (does not seem kinked). Welcoming myself to the world of sprockets!
  15. Thanks and good idea on the workshop manual. Had trouble online so ordered it off Ebay for $9.00
