So complex with all those valves

No tank lining or anything?

The bike’s in good hands with gstal on the case!

Stupid question, could the screeching be the fuel pump priming? If so start with cleaning the ignition switch? Hows your main ground look? Battery voltage?

i’ll check it out. Might be a while though.

So I wore the battery down three times and charged her back up at the prescribed 6a. The bike starts but just barely. There are a couple false tries before it will actually start spinning the starter. I’m not satisfied yet. I will keep trying to condition the battery this week.

My odyssey approved charger arrives today. I’ll report back this weekend.

I have a probably non Odyssey approved charger recommended by the folks at the place I bought the PC545. I’ll report back, but this battery seems like it was never right. I’ll check the ignition switch again, it has been a couple years.

I’ve been battling this for a while. I have the battery out and charged off the charger Monday at 12.83 checked voltage just now at 12.81. I threw a little brake light on it for four minutes or so voltage dropped to 12.5. I’ll charge her up one more time.

Alright I’ll re-read the Odyssey thread.

So you’re thinking my battery needs to be revitalized? Even though I had a pretty good charge (12.77v) and it still would just barely turn the starter.

100% agree about the fuel tank. The solo thing, I have no issue with.

Thanks to this forum it’s been awhile since I’ve been stumped and probably because of the super important preventative stuff. Anyhow, it’s a balmy 40f here in Wisconsin and it’s been a long winter so I thought I’d take the v11 for a quick ride. Battery charged a week ago (PC545 5yrs old 12.77v) I hit the starter and a click with a Barely spinning starter.... I try a few times and it just barely turns. I check my battery voltage again and it’s only 12.45v, that should be enough to bring her to life, right? Im pretty confident my clutch safety connectors are clean, I’m sure my main ground is clean, the connections on the relays, and on the starter itself are all clean. Is my battery toast? I’ve got to come clean I don’t follow the procedure for these Odyssey batteries real good.

Welcome. I’m sure you’ll find lots of good info around here.

Sorry. Yeah Dave, I meant the v11. Although any info on a DB1 is just fine.

It’s all bodywork and exhaust. Right? It is pretty rad though.

Nice work, I enjoy watching a master wrench doing there thing.

Valves adjusted (one tight, two loose), TPS checked (still at 157mv), I’ve already got the air filter cleaned, fresh oil and filter from the fall. I’m just waiting on the weather.....

I still haven’t gotten to the spline servicing. Here’s a shameless pic (Docc will verify that I am not a photographer) of my progress anyway.

Nice work!

The v11 has an air pressure sensor?

There aren’t too many brand new bikes that trip my trigger, but that’s on a short list. Keep us posted on how you like it.

Why couldn’t I have neighbors like you guys? Ha!
