big unit

Moto Guzzi V11 sport, after a long search I have just bought a new battery for my Guzz. I purchased it in Sydney and it is an Odyssey PC545MJ. MJ is for Metal Jacket. It is an exact fit and battery terminals are in the correct position. It can be laid on its side as it is a sealed battery. Hope this helps for anyone trying to source a battery here in Sydney

I know this does not help, but the factory paint on my 2000 V11 has a very thin coat, more like a film of paint than a coat. And because of this when you get a scratch it can not be polished out. er and as Rocketman suggests the tankslapper is excellent, I have this applied to my tank.

Is there a BMW oil switch to suit ? Which BMW model has the same size threaded hole as the V11.

Fitted my new left hand side header today, it was a perfect fit so all went smoothly. Here's hoping this lasts longer than the original.

Thanks very much for the help Guys.

My original oil switch packed it in. I sourced an aftermarket supplier. The problem is that the aftermarket switches I got fail by leaking oil between the plastic and the metal. I priced an original Oil Switch from my Moto Guzzi dealer which is $160 Australian dollars ($121 US), I will not pay that amount of money for an oil switch. I don't know why it is this price but maybe there might be a loss in the language translation, as in a missplacement of the decimal point 160.00 instead of 16.00 So I am in the process of repairing the leaky switch and sourcing another alternate make of switch. I will see if a Ducati oil switch can do the job.

My left hand side header is cracked near the head exhaust clamp area with 19700 km travelled. I have ordered a new header from my dealer. I hope it will not happen again, if so I will try an aftermarket supplier. Has anyone used an aftermarket supplier.

I have just experienced what Al mentioned above, fortunately I was at the top of my street when it happened and I was able to coast back to home. The problem I found was that some relay sockets were not grabbing onto the relay spades. So I squeezed the sockets so that they can now bite hard onto the relay spades. The bike has had the original relays replaced. I think that this is a real Achilles heel for the bike and I thought if the relay set could be exchanged for a solid state design to improve reliability.

They are Staintunes and sound great, not to loud but have a nice deep tone which I like.

I have the Magni fairing fitted and I love it. The riding position for me is not radical, I'm 5'11. The black matches perfectly with my 2000 V11 I have clip on mirrors fitted. I bought the bike with the fairing already fitted and this was a good selling point to me. I think it gives the V11 a modern classic look.

Safety recall required me thinks.

I had a similar problem. My oil light stayed ON when engine was running. I bought a new transmitter and problem solved. This new transmitter has no leaks whatsoever and oil light goes OFF when engine is running at idle and under hard acceleration.

Why would you want to fit the 4.5'' wheel. And if the case is as stated then I should be able to fit a 5.5'' on my 2000 V11?.

Thanks for sharing the experience Al. With this empirical knowledge I'm sure it will save some people a few headaches.
