Gentlemen, Thanks to all! I dug through my garbage this morning, found the old filter and, sure enough, the gasket was missing. Gee, I wonder where is might be! Looks like I made a real amateur mistake which makes total sense when I think about it. You guys are the best! Thanks

I just finished changing the oil on my V11 Sport Cafe Coppa Italia. As usual I completely removed the oil sump including detaching the oil line at the rear. Changed out the filter and replaced the sump. Filled it with 4 qts of oil. I started the engine up and the oil light would not go off! I let it run for a few seconds and shut it off. Started it again and shut it off again after a few seconds as the oil light still stayed lit. Now I do not want to start it again until I can figure out what is going on here. Any ideas? Anyone had this problem in the past? I am wondering it I could have damaged the oil pump but I really don't see how that could have happened. Also wondering if something has blocked up the oil line perhaps. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

When I receive it I will let you know if I can get it to fit.

Thanks Troutman!!! I just order one.

TroutMan, Is this still available? If so can you post a website through which I can contact them. I need one of these. Thanks, Mike

Shipping from the UK will cost as much as the item. Besides, my stock piece is broken and needs replacement. Not sure what the stock piece costs or even if I can get one. At least this one comes with turn signals.

Shipping from the UK will cost as much as the item. Close but not quite!

Ok, Made my best guess from your pics. This is what I ordered: http://www.ebay.com/itm/253162149637 Hope it works! Mike

Any way you can be more specific on that tidy tail? I did an online search and seems that there are a lot list for YZF R125. Not sure but it looks like it might depend on model year? Anyway, any help you can give me is appreciated. Thanks, Mike

Installed the crankcase filter. So far so good. Had some real sputtering issues on a hot day though. Pulled the plug. Look a bit too sooty so I used the Power Commander to lean out the mixture at low throttle settings. Seems to have done the trick. So far anyway. I have to say I like the look of the bike much better this way. I can now see that beautiful Ohlins Shock for the first time. If I can get it running properly I will be quite happy with the mod. Thanks to everyone for your help!

Thanks

Thanks. You would not happen to know which filter fits?

Ok...Here they are fitted. So far so good. One question. There is a hose that runs down the spine in from of the airbox that I had to detach. Is this a drain or intake? Do I need to get a filter on the end of it or re-route it? Thanks

I think that the length of the inlet duct, and the shape of the bellmouth at the end are important. There is a filter that will fit, see the picture in this post: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19581&page=2&do=findComment&comment=215103 This is what I was intending but it seems to me that you either have to cut the bell off of the stack in order to fit the 60mm filter, buy a larger filter that can fit order the bell mouth, or perhaps the 60mm can be stretched to fit over the bell (this would be ideal I think). By the way, I really like the way that one is set up. Looks great in my opinion. Mike
