  1. Hi there. I’ll return to my original question—maybe I will restate it. I would like to use ethanol free gas. In California that means running avgas which has a small amount of lead. Should I remove the cat (I don’t want to damage it) and if I do so will I need to tune the engine? If so, does anyone have a recommendation for a tuner kit (chip, etc.)? 
     

    I did get my new tank internally coated to prevent the decals from bubbling (thank you Phil). This is my only fuel injected bike and it would be more convenient to use the same gas as in my older carburetor-equipped bikes that run very well on ethanol free gas.

  2. Hello. I’m a new owner of a 2003 V11 Rosso Corsa. The vinyl tank graphics have bubbled. I have some questions for the community:

    1) I think the bubbling is caused my ethanol interacting with the tank structure. While I don’t use fuel with ethanol in my other bikes, do members get the interior of the V11 tanks coated to prevent the interaction, or is there some other recommendation?

    2) Is the a painter or source for reproductions of the graphics? Does anyone have a recommended restoration shop?

    3) What tanks interchange with the 2003 Lemans Rosso Corsa? I’d like to maintain the original and restore a takeoff tank.

    If this is a current topic even a link back to the previous thread would be helpful. Enjoying both the bike and reading the forums!
