Thank you! I'm hoping it can go to one of the fine caretakers on this board. Such a fun bike, I just never have the time to ride it anymore.

Hello All,
It is with sadness that I am selling my 2000 V11 Sport. It's a good bike. It is running well. I just don't ride it much these days and want to clear out some space, and not let it simply gather dust.
It's just shy of 13K miles. It has a Roper sloppage pate installed. As well as an upgraded reg/rect unit. I've adjusted the acorn transmission nut and the transmission shifts without misses.
Only issues are the Veglia tach indicates wildly and will need repair or replacement (was like this when I bought the bike), there's a leak from the transmission that drips onto the x-over, and the left bar end is loose and fastened with some friction tape inside the bar.
I'd like to sell it to someone who knows about these bikes and won't chop it out or otherwise destroy it. Open to offers from people from this forum. The bike is in central Los Angeles.
Also includes a TPS breakout harness and rear stand.
$4000 OBO

Very nice bike, and Michael is a good honest guy as well, but I had to pass. With shipping costs to NJ it makes more sense for me to buy local when/if another silver one comes for sale in the spring. Thanks again Michael for your help in showing it to me and my brother-in-law!
It was good to meet and talk with you guys! And it was a good excuse for a little ride as well.

Still for sale! Just replaced the battery strap as well!

Just to jump on the MGC praise bandwagon, I have had some work done by Mark and he is the real deal--a master at the older bikes.
He even rebuilt a G5 final drive for me in a couple of days turnaround. Great service and it's fun to visit his shop and talk for awhile.

That’s good to hear. Let me know if you’re interested when you get into town!

I've lowered the asking price to $3500!

Thanks Docc!

I found time today and pulled the tank. The culprit: a crack in the hose!
I replaced the pipe, along with the fuel filter and air filter. Took the bike for a short ride, no evident leaks.

Thanks, will do! I plan to pull the tank on Sunday, so I'll find out then.
-
I tried to ride it! Upon trying to start the damn thing apparently either the fuel pump or hose connecting the pump to filter failed--resulting in expensive ethanol free gas being pumped all over the bike and garage floor.
So I've ordered a new fuel hose (hoping the pump is not cracked somehow), air filter, and fuel filter as tank-off maintenance items to take care of when I pull the tank later this week.

It looks quite nice but the price is hard to swallow.

Great info here everyone. Wish I would've read this before replacing my V11's old H4 with a similar unit. Will probably upgrade to one of these anyway!
Docc.. air that gets in gotta gets out.
You need 20% more outlet area than inlet area. Roughly.
044 by Charles Stottlemyer, on FlickrI just got my PPL about a month ago. That thing looks fun!

I replaced my V11's headlight bulb. Very exciting stuff today!
-
Congratulations Roy. A Griso and an Eldo sounds like a nice pair. How many pages of electrical diagrams did the new owner get?
-
Antiquar - Do you have a tank-bag? How about a bag that straps to the passenger seat?
I think I'm going to make a Phoenix run Monday with a tank bag (holding most of the weight) and a lightweight backpack, including hydration pack for the desert crossing.
No, I'd forgotten about tank bags, having never owned one. Definitely something to look at. What tank bag are you using on your V11(s)?
Good luck on that desert crossing. I've got a hydration pak for my Kriega backpack--it's literally a lifesaver.

Today I spooned on a new rear Angel GT. Also replaced the wheel bearings as the brake side was feeling rough. Greased the drive shaft as well.
I'm considering finally adding a luggage rack to this machine. I'd hate to diminish the considerable looks of the bike but I could use more utility. Having to wear a backpack really gets old.

The V7 line are fine bikes. They have sufficient power, good maneuverability, and comfort (if you happen to fit the bike). I've ridden some well sorted V7s and they are fun bikes, but don't expect an adrenaline rush riding it.
They don't have the high pulse inducing torque of the V11, however, nor the good looks, nor the glorious sound (IMO the V11 is the best sounding Guzzi). If I had to choose between the two it's no contest, really. YMMV.

Great write up. Thanks, Scud!

Same here. A ~1200 idle also has the side bonus of at least being neutral to the state of the battery charge vs draining it.
I'd rather be riding than idling!
Me, too, but when riding in the city the bike unfortunately spends a lot of time twiddling its thumbs.

Well said, frater LowRyter.

Sold locally. Was a lot of fun owning this V11 for a few years!
