At that price, if it is that and more cost and effort to repair than it is worth, the rest of it would probably bring in the purchase price as parts. As long as one has the patience to wait for the buyers. And the "tranny leak" might also be the infamous breather hose from up near the steering head to the back end of the motor. When the back end of that goes, it can easily be mistaken for a leak on the input side of the gearbox. Definitely go and look at it.

That provided some satisfying information. The CTEK MXS 5.0 is on there, which co-incidentally is one of the two CTEK chargers I have (the other being a 3.8, I think). Obviously, I have to get a Hawker Odyssey to go with it, eh. And here's me thinking I might try a LiFePo when the current battery dies.

At work right now. This evening, this is playing. Nice piece, but bloody long.

They posted that yesterday in the german forum. The first one, with the bullet connectors (including connectors for a warning light) is listed as "replacement for the Ducati regulator" and notes that the warning light can be up to 5W. The second one, with two spade-connectors, is listed as "replacement for the Shindengen regulator" and notes that it has no connector for a warning light. What that means in V11 terms I don't know for sure. I did ask in the forum, but Silent Hektik replied that they don't have specific documentation for the bike to be able to give an answer. PS: I've got a Silent Hektik ignition and alternator with regulator from Silent Hektik in my V35, and am very satisfied with it.

Aluminium...

...measure them, and throw them away. Get some decent replacements with a hex-head or a torx or something. A phillips head in that position is just a pain in the arse. Too hard to get at to be able to put enough pressure on the head with a screw-driver to get it out without stripping out the head.

Exactly. I have that issue at work; nothing at all to do with this topic, but still the same. We have to do things like install cue lights in the set for a production, set up mobile video monitors with the conductor visible on them, maybe an audio monitor. It's all well and good when you have just been through the final phase of the rehearsal process. You've been there as it developes, and know where and why it all has to be. The thing is, a production in an Opera house like the one I work in can go into storage for a couple of years, and then be brought back into the repertoire again. And then you look at the documentation, lists, photos and so on, and ask yourself "Häää?". Where exactly is that, and what exactly is its purpose? Good photos and precise documentation are the Alpha and Omega, and everything in between, and a bit more on top.

From that, I quite logically made the jump to this... Nitpicking: it seems to really be a live recording. Who was Rosie? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_Lotta_Rosie And while we're at it, why not the whole performance? You can say what you want about the music as such, but the band was as tight as a duck's arse.

Just for fun, once again with punctuation and a couple of capital letters.

Don't really know why, but "Piano Man" brings me to this. One of my favourite Queen songs, although most of their songs are my favourite Queen song. Nitpicking: what one sees in that video has, of course, very little to do with the recording apart from that they are "playing along" to the recording for the video.

in that video, I'm fairly convinced (nitpicking again) that one is seeing what one is hearing, i.e. a direct recording of the video and the audio. A bit too much compressor on the vocal for my taste, but very good. Indeed he does, as I have read. Billy Joel PERIOD, yes that one, but also this one. Yes, I know it is clichéd to hell, but it is a brilliant song. also very convincing in terms of "what one sees and what one hears". The only thing (nitpicking): I don't believe the microphone in front of the guitar. The guitar has a pick-up in it, and a cable hanging out of it. The pictures seem to be "open air", and the sound is very, very direct. I reckon the pick-up is pretty good, the audio is directly off the pick-up, and the mic is just in the video as part of a sponsorship deal.

He'd be stupid if he didn't. Although a Le Mans would obviously be better....

That's interesting. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, I would have guessed a casting, too. I know there are castings that are non-magnetic and not aluminium, but my impression is that that is usually some sort of muck metal that doesn't hold up to much. The side-stand is a highly stressed part, ergo probably aluminium as you wrote.

Holding a magnet against it might give a clue.

Very likely.

That's very good, and a bit funny. Nitpicking: I'm fairly convinced that the video is a "playback" video, i.e. pictures recorded after the fact. The stereo image doesn't match what one sees in the video. Not really important, but I can't help myself.

I rather hope that mine doesn't break. What I like about the original "wire tang" is that I can reach it with my hand to put the side-stand down whilst sitting on the bike. That might sound impractical, but it is actually (for me) very comfortable.

Is the base value for the TPS correct? 157 mV with the throttle valve closed and everything disconnected from it (linkages, choke, idle stop screwed right out, what-have-you)?

I tried to reduce that quote so it takes up less space, but I can't figure it out. Whatever, what I wanted to say is that the Doonesbury comic is quite funny, but that the other two links that came with it are crap. The "by u/Continuity Error" link is (in my humble opinion) political bullshit with a tendency to right-wing , and the "audiophile" link is wankers showing off what they have as a hi-fi system in their lounge room. Maybe good stuff, but as an audio professional I just can't take that seriously.

Someone just posted in the German forum about this. I thought it might possibly interest someone here. I'm very tempted to order a copy. https://shop.deeppurple.com/de/deep-purple/special-collections/made-in-japan/made-in-japan-2lp/0602475832362.html

The number should be engraved on the shiny bit in the middle of the top triple-clamp, shouldn't it? That is visible just before the end of the video. It appears to be blank. Or maybe covered to conceal the bike's identity.

I reckon my V35 Imola is one of the most beautiful "cafe racers". I don't have a picture of mine to hand, but this one isn't bad No power worth mentioning, but for my taste really one of the prettiest motorcycles ever built, and the seating position is pretty much perfect for me. If you want a bit more stick, get a Le Mans III. The same styling direction, but more power. And bigger and heavier.

Anybody we know?
