  1. This performance was a week ago in Chicago? I recognize some of these "boys" . . .
  2. In Tennessee (perhaps in other States), sales tax is added when the vehicle is registered in the new State based upon the sales amount on the Bill of Sale.
  3. Hmm, properly adjusted the "High Idle Lever" should have no effect on throttle action. Interference with throttle rotation could be a number of other factors. Perhaps worth further investigation, @mikev . . . .
  4. Registration here in Tennessee, USA, is on the month anniversary of the first registration of the vehicle with the current owner, usually the purchase date. This spatters my registrations rather randomly through the year. While it spreads the payments out, it also makes it easy to miss a renewal. One of the games we play when a bunch of bikes gather is to look for whose registration has dropped. It is always somebody. Also, here in Tennessee, a 25 year old vehicle is eligible for a one time, permanent "antique" registration. Special use restrictions apply (not supposed to be commuting on a daily basis etc). Next year, mySport is eligible.
  5. The caps on the later V11 are NGK 5,000 Ohm resisters. The early V11 are Champion. I get mine from a scooter shop in England. Because they can be damaged (along with the sparkplug) in even a light tip-over, I carry spares in the
  6. I am curious about the need for a remote preload. The Öhlins on mySport has one, but once set I never moved it again. Yet, I don't switch back and forth solo and pillion. Plus my pannier load-out and riding gear change very little. Perhaps a fresh rebuild and proper spring might be all you need?
  7. The sticking gasket from the old filter is real and should be check each and every filter change. "Hand Tight" may have applied to external automotive filters, but is a formula for disaster on a V11 . . .
  8. I am thinking we should do our due diligence and pump those hydrocarbons to burn systematically in small, distributed amounts before they reach the surface in sufficient quantities to turn our atmosphere into a sea of methane . . .
  9. To take that a step further, the box section spine frame serves as a separator with the liquid fraction draining through the spine into the braided line that rejoins the oil sump at the back while the vapor fraction enters the airbox to be combusted. Or just gunk up the airbox . . .
  10. Truth be known, I am holding a room for our Chief Whip in the event he can be our honored guest at this SSR XX. At some point in the SSR past, another member promised "a handful of Cubanos ." I suppose they could stay in the room and when the innkeeper inquires about the potential improprieties, we can say, "The Dutchman flew! and the Cubanos are nowhere to be found !" Okay, okay - the actual Cubanos:
