  1. well it may or may not be pertinent to your troubles, but i had dreadful fuel consumption once that i eventually realised was due to a nasty crack in the exhaust near the lambda sensor (crossover area). So maybe check that whilst you’re scanning about?
  2. yes it looks like it feeds into 85 on the start relay
  3. wide tyres are for them that fling themselves around race tracks
  4. the narrower the better in my opinion
  5. And something for the oddballs amongst us… headphones and a whisky will aid consumption
  6. dig it. mine’s leaking though… ☹️
  7. cheers for your write-up on the gearbox phil- got me thru it. It was only after i re-re-read it that i realised i should’ve draw-filed the bearing surfaces- i polished them but probably put a slight radius on them. Working bloody lovely though now 🙂. Makes me appreciate the v11 setup as when it’s good it’s very good. I got a vfr400 this year and the action thru the box is no comparison. Which i wouldn’t have expected as when i saw inside the v11 guts it looked so… agricultural?
  8. had a blast on a pals uly once, i kept hitting the end of the revs cos i was used to the v11. I love that the guzzis have that extra 2 thousand revs- really feel good in comparison
  9. the po had cut 99.99 of the old lid away, leaving a sliver of plasique, which lost the strength to bolt down firmly. It has a jury-rigged ally frame i made atm- which is crap
  10. my v11 is missing it’s airbox lid- i had to cobble a frame together to hold the filter down but would prefer to get hold of a lid really. She does roar on open throttle tho

    V7 website

    I’ll bet there’s a couple V7 forums, or groups, on faceache
  12. easy on a buell- peak torque is at 400rpm
  13. I ordered from this American company http://www.speedbleeder.com
  14. got speedbleeders on mine, they’re great
  15. Interesting thought that docc- but man there’s already so much weight back there.. … Can you put helium in a tyre?
