Other problem still to solve is oil leak from upper back of gearbox. It's a generous leak so looks like gearbox is coming out again - oh goody

Took Bosch spark plugs out. They looking very dark Replaced them with NGK's BPR6ES's. Running a bit better but still needs use of choke & throttle to idle. (not good) What would cause it to run so lean. Something changed during reassembly? This is weird for a bike that was running well before gearbox problem. Also has an oil leak from rear left hand side of gearbox. As in its dripping on to exhaust under g/b. Was gearbox sealed properly or is leak from elsewhere. I will replace g/b oil to check I've filled with correct amount. If overfull it could be being spat out.

I would love to go there. Thank's MartyNZ. I will see how I go with Docs Tune up list.

Good idea

RM lives all but a bit roughly . I had to remove rod between fuel injection units to remove gearbox. I'm thinking these need synconising. I know someone who has the tool to do it. Went with the 12.7mm fuel line. I know Repco have a reel of 12mm selling for $1,500 which is a bit much qty & $. Will ask & see what they can do

Heater hose been thrown out. Got some 12.7mm fuel hose. Will give that ago tonight. Been on a few wild goose chases with this. Found what is advertised as 12mm is actually 12.7mm (1/2 inch). Weird NZ has been metric for 30 years yet still get stuff in inches.

So close. 12mm ID fuel line is not easy to get here in NZ. Got some heater hose that will do in short term.

Been away on holiday. Got V11 all back together last night. Now I find the fuel hose has a spilt in it at the pump end (Its not original. That was replaced years ago) So tank & seat off again & find some 12mm fuel hose

Photo was from a few years ago so before saga started. But hopefully will have bike back together & going tonight 🤞

Problem solved. Adjustor on clutch lever had backed itself in blocking holes in base of clutch fluid reservoir

After getting shattered bearing in gearbox replaced I found clutch wouldn’t work. So tried to bleed fluid as line hadn’t been attached to slave cylinder. When pumping clutch leaver I found there was very little fluid coming out. So ok master cylinder has failed so got a kit for it from Aussie. Gave it to a mechanic to do. He fitted kit but still couldn’t pump fluid through. There was no damage to the old kit parts. Clutch was working fine before gearbox problem. I had clutch line disconnected from slave cylinder because I couldn’t remove it from back of gearbox. Any thoughts on what is going on?

What's slippery-squirt?

Many Thanks Doc. I've just used your info to source a kit from Australia from Gowanloch

The saga continues Using syringe method I was able to inject brake fluid from slave to master cylinder. Trying to pump fluid back the other way not so good. Very little fluid being pumped through. Thinking I need to put a rebuild kit into Clutch master cylinder. Teflon tape didn't work so well so under advice from Speed Bleeder guys I've resealed with Permatex high Performance Thread Sealant. It's a 72 hour set time so still waiting. They supply their own sealant but easier for me to get the Permatex stuff

Many thanks for the advice. I think I will go with the syringe method with the teflon tape around the nipple to restore the seal. MartyNZ I will contact you about the syringe

Getting very frustrating putting V11 back together after gearbox work. I'm having trouble bleeding the clutch line. When I took g/b out I had to disconnect the line because I couldn't get one of the screws holding master cylinder undone. So line is full of air. I've got a speed bleeder fitted to the master cylinder so this should be easy. Nope. I've been pumping on the clutch lever for about 3 hours but I'm getting no pressure. There are air bubbles in the drainage tube and fluid is clear. It was dark when I started. Also there is fluid leaking from the bleeder when I've got it open so is air leaving into line? I got the guy who did the g/b work to replace the 3 screws on the master cylinder. Thought I would take cylinder off and raise it above the handlebars to help purge air. But I can't get screws undone. Tried a heatgun on them thinking he had used a threadlocker no go. He racing at Sound of Thunder meeting this weekend so will leave contacting him untill Monday. Any thoughts?

The differcultly was ring gear & clutch plate were in the wrong way around. Looking a picture's on phone didn't show ridge on plate and indent on ring gear. Printed photos out and bingo the problem was obvious. Gearbox now fits onto clutch- easy. Now in process of putting bike back together.

Good thinking on both ideas. I will give them a go
