I have experienced two gear box related problems on my 2002 Le Mans: 1. Pall spring - I managed to jag one gear, 5th I think and limp home 5km. it would not always engage, it took several attempts 2. a few weeks after the pall spring was replaced ($5 that cost $100 to fix ), I had trouble selecting gears again. I thought it was pall spring again, but it turned out the gear linkage jammed and needed to be tweaked out the bind and some lubricant sprayed on the joints. I have been told joint lubing is required regularly so I do it and no problems again. I hope this helps.

Maybe you're not on the compression stroke?? That's what I'd check first... Mike Correct, the piston needs to be on its way up on compression. Mark, let us know if after checking it is on compression you still have the same problem. It is possible you wont, because if they are that tight with valves closed, you start to get electrical problems - valves hit pistons, causing part of the internal components to fly out the side and dislodge the starter motor.

i have a 2002 Le Mans. I have had trouble with idle, starting after a medium / long ride for a couple of years now, and the other evening it began running on one cylinder, then died all together at home that night. Flat tow to Tom Newells (Brisbane) to be advised the relays were U/S. I had swapped them around the previous night, but the trick is, ECU and Fuel Pump relays are in series, so if one is not working then none of them are working, obviously I was not jagging the right swapping combinations. On Tom's advice, I replaced them the next morning with after market units, but will be using his recommended General Motors (Holden) sealed units when they open after New Year. Also note Bosch part number on other blogs - 0 332 207 307. It starts first time now and have not had any embarrassing non start moments of the past, usually in front of a coffee shop full of Jappers and Harley riders I am replacing the alternator regulator rectifier this week as well, I don't want to take that chance on the side of the road.

I am looking for Carbon Fibre Mistral, Feracchi or Remus exhausts, with or without cross overs. Thanks in advance for any help Swinfurkon

I have Hepco Becker Junior Flash panniers and am now looking for frame to suit 2002 V11 Le Mans thanks to anyone that can help Swinfurkon

thanks for the MGNOC tip link, I am willing to try anything, so once I give the brakes a bleed using the right way up method, I will report back to this forum

Well done Haydn, at last a video of a common question asked Thank the Lord and thank you Haydn! Great Video. I am guessing that running the bike relieves fuel pressure in the line. I have had my 2002 V11 since new and have attempted this several times, experiencing the frustration expressed by others. Each time I just sent it to the Mechanic for service / repair.

V11 Le Mans Can anybody advise experience or tips on suspension adjustment. Suspension feedback on rougher back roads can be quite harsh, from both front and rear suspension. I have adjusted both to almost the softest setting but still not as comfy as my ducati with ohlins. I have also asked the Australian Ohlins distributor if Ohlins are available for the 2002 Le Mans, however no luck. Thanks in advance for any advice swinfurkon

Very happy to see you made it safely from 220km/h to 0 km/h without incident, hats off to you. Do the Le Mans V11 2002 have twin or single plate clutches? swinfurkon
