K...my 2000 has this shift lever...is this factory, with 2 holes? If so, is the top hole still 12mm shorter than Chuck's? Chuck, do you still have any of these? ... and if not, do you have the file and form tool to make them with? I could add them to the slowly growing pile of have-nots we can make without much pain.

Suspension Upgrades. Talk to me

I got a $750 V11 and the Staintunes are on the shelf lol I will be certain they don't fit the 1100 Sport before they're fitted to the V11, though.

My take on BaT is that it's mostly a bunch of whiny rich-adjacent cheapskates. On one side are people fishing high prices, the other side douchebags trying to submarine the item to bring the price down to where they can afford it, or sour grapes it because they can't. Change my mind.

The loudest clutch I've ever heard is in my '74 Aermacchi/HD Sprint 350 after venting the clutch cover.

Well...to be fair, could have been my badly angled wrists leaning over the tools I should have put away while the lift is at full height.

Got an official Pete Roper slosh plate?

Harpermoto.com has everything, at least they had everything I needed sealwise from rear main to output shaft, within the week. https://harpermoto.com/collections/2002-v-11-le-mans-1100-transmission-cage

I'm rehabilitating a 2000 V11 Sport I got for $750- to make it look that nice and recover the 64k miles it has on it, would cost as much as you're asking. Maybe more depending on the price of paint.

So, bearing race came off, with a little learning curve on the new inductive heater- it comes with an insulating wrap specifically for bearing races. It doesn't say why, other than that the coil used for races isn't preformed and I assume it is so you can use it on any size, and the insulator keeps the coil cover from burning. With 3 wraps and the insulator, I had to go back 4 times, the last time being for 25 seconds plus whatever heat was in it beforehand. Here's what it looks like apart, with everything in order of assembly (the compensator ramp and gear in the case simply slide apart as well) The bearing in question is on the right, trapped by everything between it and the end race on the left.

Since it's right at hand, my 2000 v11 bodies are (actual) 44.68mm vertical and 44.71mm horizontal at the inlet.

DHL freight isn't bad to EU...but whatcha got?

I sent the injectors from my '97 out to be cleaned, turned out they were *very* dirty, so much so that I had to remap the entire fuel curve because it went rich. iirc the left injector was down 6% and the right down 10%. So yes, the injectors can, and over time certainly will, lean the mixture. On modern auto, the system accomodates injector change by increasing the pulse width to keep the O2 sensor happy. On ours, well, I don't know when or if the factory started running the fuel from the O2 sensor. My first V11 is still on the bench with the stock ECU so I'm sure I'll be revisiting some of these questions in the coming months.

I'll guess that you're correct, since removing the clutch and flywheel doesn't input meaningful impacts to the alternator and the alternator can be plenty tight enough to turn the engine. In the one time I had to work with the alternator with engine benched ('85 LeMans) I just stuffed some synthetic rope down the spark plug hole to prevent rotation. Now I have the flywheel holding tool, so...

Eeee.... I was stuck for 2 days in a car with only FM radio when this song was on heavy rotation...still cringe a bit.

Why don't I hear this good stuff on XM radio? I'll be doing the Grand Tour of Texas, probably September, ending here;

I was thinking about front tires on Moto Guzzi, in general.

I misunderstood the assignment lol

You missed the first part... nobody gets one end off the ground.

uh...what...part of Canada...

Stop for water, get water.

Injectors out, to Injectorrx.com

I put LED bulbs in my '85 LeMans, tiny little devils- so lovely by day, but at night they're so bright as to be annoying. As I have this 2000 V11 Sport apart- the dash came disassembled too for some reason- I'll probably use LED for the temporary lamps (oil, turn, battery...is the battery warning bulb a ground on this bike?) and incandescent for the 'always on' lamps.

How much sticks out? How about spark plug boot pliers, or similar? https://www.magnetics.com/products/spark-plug-boot-pliers
