Hi All. I received an email from Joe Kenny saying he was retiring and had sold most of his stock to Motociclo in Sydney Australia. I have attached a link if anyone is looking for parts: http://www.motociclo.com.au/ Cheers Bob

Aluminium is fine, Thanks again

Thanks about the Buell Turn Signals. I can get a genuine Starter Motor Cover from Europe, however the costs are ~ Aust $160 + freight which is better than the $220 I was quoted in Australia. Any links or suggestions for a good supplier in the US for this and Spark Plug Guards would be helpful, as it is often 30 - 40% cheaper ex-US even with freight.

I am after the following parts for my v11 2003 Rosso Corsa that I can ship to Australia: Head Cover (L&R) - Red and / or Carbon Fibre Spart Plug Guard (L&R) - Stainless Steel Assorted Plate / Decals / Stickers Side Covers (L&R) - Carbon Fibre Starter Motor Cover - Crome Grey and / or Carbon Fibre Turn Indicator (L&R) - Original version is unreliable & expensive - Has anyone found a good LED replacement option? I have checked the web and old 'Forums' and there is some good information, however any suggestions and web site / email links would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all the help. The problem appears to be both the regulator and a molten connector, however it is a chicken & egg scenario and there is no idea which took the other out first. If this is useful for anyone else: 1. The readings from the alternator @ 3000 - 4000 RPM were 80 - 90VAC when disconnected from the regulator. 2. Be careful with the regulator - At one stage a supplier tried to convince me my alternator was 3 phase, however it is clear from the diagram and 2 cables that it is only single phase. Found a good supplier in Australia who knew the genuine 2003 V11 was the same Japanese regulator used by Ducati. 3. I tried to find a manual for a 2003 V11, however the only copy I could find is in Italian. I will attach this in the forum in another section if it is useful for anyone. If anyone knows where a version in English is available please let me know. Cheers.

Hi My 2003 Rosso Corsa cut off 30 minutes into a run today. It started missing and then shut down and would not restart. The battery had been fully charged yesterday and it fired up beautifully this morning to start the run. I was trapped in the hills without tools, however someone stopped and helped jump start the bike and they had a multimeter with them. All the fuses were OK and no evidence of shorts etc. With the light disconnected the battery voltage was dropping again quickly, so it appears there was no charge getting back to the battery. Called a Tow Truck and got home 2 hours later - Turned out to be a long end expensive short run! I have gone over a number of the existing postings and it looks like it is a regulator problem more than the alternator? The wiring diagram I have shows a safety diode protecting the ECU - Are there any other diodes / relays linked to the regulator or alternator I can start looking for? The postings have suggested changing the regulator to an Electrex 451 and running a new negative directly to the battery. I have been able to test the alternator when not running and it reads 5 ohms, with Meg ohms to earth on both sides - Not sure what it should indicate, however this appears to be OK? Any comments & suggestions would be appreciated Cheers

I am now worse off than when I first started looking at the Tyre Forums. I am a new member, and need replacements for a 2003 V11. I had been looking at the Brigstone BT23's as it has a good 3 compound mix,and good life. I am more concerned for grip VS life, however I have been told the Brigstones do not like the heat well & the Pirelli Diablo's have the same problem - Summer rides in my place are typically 38-40 deg C, so the Roads get hot and they can be rough. There are comments about the Pirelli Angels, however I haven't ever used them or know anyone who has on a similar bike. I was told to avoid the Michelin Pilot Road 3 & however I can't see why? Any suggestions will be appreciated - Cheers
