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

Well he has to top 'Rogered in the *** with a rusty star picket' to be the 'Baron of Bungendore'

That started as a '57 GMC 6500, Texaco fuel tanker. Someone in California thought it would be a nice pickup, shortened the frame, found a bed (how rare is a age-appropriate long bed stepside?) installed a 5.9 Cummins, '90 vintage. Gear Vendors overdrive, late model heavy duty 4x4 running gear- heavy like 550 stuff, haven't researched but D60 front axle so probably GM. Kid saw it on eBay and got a boner for it. He bought an Airstream he's gonna haul out to Utah for a summer...one of these summers lol

Aaand since this is currently taking up space in my yard while my son figures out where to keep it, -

Meh...I'll replace at least the center disc and frictions. I'll send the pressure plate up to the boys in Ohio to be ground flat, looks to be less than .010" dish but new discs don't like point loading. I don't like the heat signatures on the surfaces, anyway. Certainly I'll get into the leak points, wringing my hands over the rear main seal. Probably should just suck it up and make it new, though there's no sign of leaks anywhere... from the last time in turned over, maybe 8 years ago lol
