I managed to crack my front fender on the Coppa while rearranging the bikes. I can probably glue/patch it but I would rather just replace it.
Anyone have one?
Thanks!

Realy liked the part from, was it 14min to 18min. Made me more interested in the Griso than last week, hmm
. Great roades for having fun.
Cheers Tom.
If all he has done is change the oil and the brake pads at over 10k ...Well....probably not a good thing imo.

Nitpicking time (again...).
The chin strap on the helmet seems to be not done up, and the helmet seems to be too big for her, i.e. not her helmet, i.e. the photo is staged. Yes, I know they all are, but one can make an effort....
On top of that, when I sit on a bike, the right hand is on the brake lever, and the left foot is down. Left hand on the clutch and right foot down is only just before riding off, and then the right hand is mostly on the brake lever right up until I start releasing the clutch.
Still, the bike is on the centre stand, so the photo is obviously really a set-up.
So why is she pulling in the clutch?
As I said, one can make an effort when setting up a photo...

There are at least 2 cases of flywheel failure documented on this forum. I don't have them archived or I'd link them. They can be found if you dig deep enough. Proof enough to make me swap my clutch and flywheel, as many others have done. If yours didn't fracture, you had good fortune. I hope it lasts. Mine didn't fail in 11,500 mi. from new, nor was it cracked when I removed it. Not everyone's shift selector spring broke either, but my personal preference was to swap it out and not be constantly wondering how much time is left before I'm stranded, or worse.
All (or most) 2002 engine cases had the paint problem. The factory offered a fix but I didn't bother. When I swapped the clutch, I stripped and painted the motor.
I do not have a 2002 bike with a single clutch assy anymore...of the 3 2002 I had, 2 Scuras and one Mandello..one had 25,000 mi on it when i sold it 4 years ago and now has over 35,000 miles on it is still working fine for the current owner.., The other 2002 had 18,000 miles on it when I rebuilt the entire bike including complete tear down of the motor to powdercoat the cases, it did not have any cracks but I put a different clutch in it anyway since it was all apart, the third had less than 10,000 which I bought crashed and I still have the motor here with original flywheel..it is not cracked.
Approximately what year's was it when these 2 previous incidents were posted? I have looked extensively ..both here and in Italy over the past few years and did not run across these.
Thanks

No, I have to admit I don't and haven't. I've only read about it.
The thing is, some very smart people invested considerable effort teaching me during my time at the university about how to evaluate sources. The things I have read on the topic have been, at least to a good part, from reliable sources, and plausible. I'm convinced it is not a "phantom of the internet", but rather something that really has a basis in fact.
Nevertheless, solid first-hand information would be very welcome.
I totally agree with the great value of "reliable sources with testimonials based on facts which they presented . I would love to know where you have read this? And/or who these sources are, or exactly what facts they presented which convinced you so strongly. I then could do my own deductive reasoning and draw my on conclusion. This type of thinking is of course based on my own time at an excellent University ...

Regarding the paint on the motor: mine has got that. The owner before me touched it up here and there with something. The touch-ups are visible if you look, but fairly good. I've decided that the best strategy for the meantime is just to not wash the engine.
I'd be more concerned about the single-plate clutch. Some of them were, apparently, grenades waiting to go off. Maybe someone here has solid information about whether that is really the case, and which ones were involved.
Do you know anyone yourself or have you seen one in personn? a single plate clutch "Blown up"? There was one photo of one several years ago that failed..although I have never read a personal account about it..The phot has been beaten to death over and over for 10 years or more on the internet but I have yet to see one that "blew up" or to meet anyone on any of the forums who had one "blow up" them selves..I've owned 3 2002 V-11's
2-Scura's and a Rosso Mandello. with them..none blew up...So yes..I'd like to see some "Solid" information too.

Unfortunately..As Scud eluded to...although they are beautiful...the 2002 will have bubbling engine and transmission paint..if not now ( It looks like it does) ..eventually..( ask me how I know). 2002's all get it..and like I once heard someone say. " It is like a beautiful woman with a big wart on her nose..you can't see beyond it.

It's an awesome bike, The most rare and sought after of all the V-11's in my eyes..Even more difficult to find than the Rosso Corsa.
I love that Black..and with all the tasteful little touches you always do to your bike..ie; Gauges,Powder coating, etc, and that un-obtainable Exhaust system..along with your attention to detail..it is a prize find.
A number of years ago my first V-11..of the Seven I have owned , was your old Greenie which you went thru...An awesome bike that got me hooked on MG
Someone will get a Winner!!!
