I appreciate the help and info. I have to put it to the side for a week as its time to head to work and other things but thanks for reaching out and I will take you up on that help for sure. Thanks

Nope, neither. I have a sterile 1970 Honda 750 basket case chopper that I want to return to stock for the most part, a 1987 MG SP2 with 157,000 miles on it, and 1999 Suzuki Bandit 1200 with 38000 miles on it that just works and is my shop and chore bike and a 1981 Yamaha SR500 thats for sale and a 1973 MG V7 sport. I'm currently looking at a Honda Hawk GT650 as I want a lighter bike that has a electric start because after getting hit at 45 mph on my 2002 Lemans by a 84 year old man in a SUV... I limp and have a bit of trouble with my hip and kickstarting.... I'm busy trying to keep my head above water and its a chore.. gladly accepted chore for sure but never the less a chore for each bike done lovingly. Its what I like to do and when posting on here I'm really just hoping for a magic answer that solves the issue but when you get hit with tons of places to look it can be just as over whelming as the issue itself . My original post on here was about fuel injectors and having gone down that rabbit hole with thoughts and other places to look I realize that there is a ton to know. I had a 2008 MG 1200 sport that had the magic box from Guzzitech and it made the bike run rich as hell but it work well for the most part. The guy that runs that is pretty hard to talk with and so your on you own when figuring things out. I got that bike running well after doing all the things suggested which is what I will have to do with this one. Its hard to be a hobby mechanic and keep up on all the nuances of each bike, but life is short and I will ride as many as I can before I go... Sorted out a Ducati Monster S2r 1000 and rode it for a bit and then sold it to buy this bike which sat for most of its life... So I'm stoked that it is running and fine tuning will take a bit, but it sure felt good to ride it. So I choose neither pill and as far as a meaningless life goes.. 2 wheels are 2 wheels and when your riding it feels great no matter what you ride... I have a vintage bike group and I have had probably 100 bikes in the last 10 years from Hondas to Ducati's to moto guzzis and two stokes and stopped short of buying Nortons and Velocette as it was above my wheelhouse in cost and mechanicing ... Its all for fun and if life is meaningless on a bike your doing it wrong... PS, the bike I was talking about was done by Mike Velasco who was a factory AMA race mechanic for 35 years and it was a Kawasaki ZX12r and it was anything but meaningless when hitting triple digits. It had 185 hp and 105 foot pounds of torque... it was scary fast...but damn it was fun for the 2 years I had it... Cheers my friend

I have had 4-cylinder bikes that put out 3 times as much HP that were easier to work on and they needed less of it. My goal is to get back to the bike I remember before I was hit on it and this one is much nicer. So much to know on a simple 2 valve motor... but its worth it in the long run.

It was a way to put it on and go. I live a long way away from others and getting into a whole new computer program and set my bike up sounds great but this was the path of least resistance. Sometimes you get lucky and shit works... and I have had great success with them before. If it doesn't work, then I will give Guzzidiag a shot...so there you go we shall see. My next step is to put it back to stock and see if that will change anything.

Pretty sure that I will go to a base setting with just the ecu and pipes, but I know the injector was not functioning as it should because starting the bike and getting it to clear out and run caused the exhaust to glow red. We tapped the injector and it settled right in and the pipes were both at 345 degrees and it idled really well. I can't speak for the past of the bike but and they didn't put many miles on it when the rode it towards the end of their ownership and it sat, the gas was not good in the tank and he rode it that way. I pulled the tank and dumped it and put a new filter in the tank. Seems that all perimeters including TPS, throttle body balancing, valves, fuel, plugs, new gas, new air cleaner are done correctly. I was going to disconnect the PC and see if the 2-3 grand stumble went away. My friend that did the work suggested that I run the fuel injection cleaner first for the injector and then richen up the lower part of the PC and see if that did anything. If not I will then pull the PC and go back to stock....

I too am looking for one. I could use a gray one and I have the bands for a 2003

This was tuned to another bike. It hasn't been set up for mine. I'm giving it a shot to see if it helps and gets it closer and if it doesn't then I will take the bike to a dyno. I'm trying not to spend the 6-700.00 bucks to dyno it and doing what I can myself. I live 2 or more hours from anywhere and at least one ferry ride to get over the pond to Seattle. I hate going into town. If all else fails I will take the PC off and run it with stock tuning and pipes to see how that responds. I have 5 bikes in the garage and its a choice with each one how much I will spend to make them what I want... I have a 87 MG Sp2 that is next and its carbed... another rabbit hole...LOL

It's a worthwhile try when all else fails... I have to work with the power commander on it next to richen it up a bit and see if that takes it away. Its weird to jump from my ratty Suzuki 1200 Bandit on to the Lemans.. I look for the power of the 1200 but its a different world for sure. I will bond again with the Lemans once it is all set up. I was hit on my 2002 Lemans by a 84 year old man in a dark tinted window SUV and it sucked to lose that Lemans as it worked well for me. This bike will be a replacement for it.

Yes that was done as well, I'm tired and didn't remember that...

TPS adjusted , Valves adjusted, Fuel filter replaced, new plugs, new air filter, and fresh gas. The bike was sputtering and bucking under 3 grand and runs smooth above for the most part and pulls well. The person that did the work is a pro mechanic and has 20 plus years as a lead mechanic at a Guzzi shop called Moto International. The bike has not been run for years, and the prior owner didn't do anything with it but once and a while run it around the block. Tapping on the injector brought it to life and its now functioning and we surmise that its the injector being fowled a bit. Once I have it cleaned using the fuel injection cleaner, I will adjust the Power commander on it for more fuel if need be. My next thought is to pull them and clean them.

Got my V11 up and running after getting my friend Jason Wallace out to help. Seems one of the injectors is running sub par and so I'm going to try some injection cleaner and then go from there. I just wanted to post on this old thread because there was good advice here.

Appreciate you dropping this pearl of wisdom... Thanks, ordered the gaskets but might just go this way...

I just order the stock gaskets, figure they will be fine. Thanks for getting back Docc

Paypal is easier but if the email is a commercial account it still gets dinged and added to the year end taxes as income to the business account for that email...

Looking at the part number at MG Cycle the metal gaskets B063861 seem to be for a ENGINE SUMP GASKET CALIFORNIA 1400 SERIES, GRISO 1200 8V. I'm curious if this is indeed true? Also would anaerobic gasket sealer on both sides work? As far as the oil pan gasket I have those ordered before and they are easy peasie to get... If the sealer wouldn't work and the metal gaskets are the call... I hate to be that guy but a pointer in the right direction would be much appreciated. Thanks to all for this.

If no one else claims it.. I would take it, that said if its needed by a member for their bike then by all means sell it to them.

Nor did I, he's busy it sounds like... But look forward to it for sure..

Thanks for your due diligence and the service to the MG community of V11's... I live out in Port Angeles, Love to meet and hang out but... snow for now... Sent my address and name, Thanks Jim

Thanks, appreciate your work.

Good deal, bummer that it was the wrong size but glad it was caught.. Thanks

Thanks for the heads up on the CBR/VTR mirrors... Good to know

Glad to hear this is a going concern, Look forward to mine...

Such a old thread, but wondering if anyone has a set of the longer stalked mirrors laying around... Just checking...Thanks

I would love to get one of the plates as well... Just slow on the uptake if its not to late, add my name to the list

@mikev Wondering if you still have this?
