BrianG Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I cannot find any reference to this question anywhere here, so simply, do the V11 series utilize a Canbus control system for fueling or any other onboard system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 AFAIK, and if I understand CANBUS at all, there is none on the V11. Only the ECU/ "CPU" and various sensors. Smarter people than I will be along that can speak that language more fluently . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Are you looking for trouble or an opportunity? (I grew up thinking that was the same thing . . . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianG Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 I'm looking to avoid trouble . Canbus makes me crazy in my 2004 Thunderbird, and I'm not interested in reproducing that trouble on a motorcycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are in luck with the V11 - there is only the Central Processing Unit ("ECU"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 No. If you want can bus you have to get a Break My Wallet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Back in the day, a SoCal Beemer mechanic I knew decided to put on some aftermarket lights. I'm not sure if he ever got it going again.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No canbus on a v11 Sport. It's basic old tech electronics. Ciao 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 There is nothing hi-tech about a MG electrical system . This reminds me of a story concerning a VERY old garage in Wickliffe run by two very old mechanics . A buddy of mine said " the only thing hi-tech about Dreamy Haynes was an 8 volt battery ". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
