  2. For those of you considering importing a low mileage (under 7500 miles) V11 into California and concerned about the legality of it all; if you remove the rear hugger, underneath on the swingarm on the right, there it is, the all important Ca sticker.
  3. Hopefully this will help as a visual for those tackling tank removal and the intermittent starting issues caused by the ill fitting bullet connectors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZWKsV8xOA4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k50ZFOTRtvE
  4. This is a bit of a feeler more than anything else but I am considering selling my bike as I am feeling the need to thin out my collection. I am the 2nd owner and have owned it only for a short time (since Aug last year). It has receipts for over $3k prior to me taking ownership, for an Ohlins rear shock, CF front fender and Ti MG Exhaust and "race" ECU. At that time a full service was also completed. I can't say its the finest MG LeMans out there, but I haven't seen anything close in my recent Ebay/CL searches over the last 6 months, and I hate to use the word "mint" or "flawless" as if you look hard enough you might find something, but I have to say it has to be a 9.9/10. The shock and pipe have maybe 100 miles on them. The bike has a new battery and is kept in my garage on a battery tender 24/7. The paint is fantastic, and there is no peeling of paint or any discoloration on the engine. People on this forum know more than I do, but I think by 04 these machines were pretty much sorted out. The only issue I had was that the bullet connectors under the tank were very loose and I sometimes had to "wiggle" the bars to start her up. That was sorted today. Its a museum quality collectors bike or a rider, whatever you please. Regarding value; I see these go all the time in the $5-6k range with way higher mileage and without the shock and Ti exhaust I have. They are somewhat rare as standard, but I think this particular bike is exceptionally rare with the very low mileage and period correct updates, and therefore I am prepared for the right owner to come along. Looking for offers. Please PM me with questions and will get back to you right away. This site doesnt allow pic uploads that will show the detail a buyer would want so I will email those upon request. Daren
  5. Wealth of knowledge, cheers everyone. I've been lazy as turning the bars and blipping the throttle has had it starting, but this weekend it comes off!!!!!!!!
  6. Darren, in short, no, you don't need to remove the fairing to take the tank off. One bolt in the back, an electrical plug for the fuel pump, the fuel supply and return lines (search for how to push/pull the collars to separate from the fitting) and your tank cap vent hose and off it comes. Perfect, Cheers
  7. Honestly I have searched the forum, but have really only seen threads on tank removal of naked V11s. I need to know if its necessary to remove the fairing in order to remove the tank on my 04 LeMans. I am having starting issues and need to get to the bullet connectors under the tank to re-crimp. Thanks and agian sorry if this has already been posted somewhere.
