Great! I was hoping that was it.
Do you have the dreaded "tank suck"?Not that I'm aware of. Yesterday it was the opposite, tank pressurization.
Thanks

So I go for out for a ride today.
It's sunny and in the upper 70's....the warmest weather the bike has seen since I got it last fall.
I decided to stop for lunch.
After lunch I go to leave and find the bike will not start without twisting the throttle.
Also that it wont run without holding the throttle open.
After riding a few minuets, it would idle on it's own.
On the way home I stopped by my parents.
When leaving I had the same problem, a minuet after being in motion...everything is fine.
Is this vapor lock?
My bike is an 03 with the fuel pump in the tank.
All the vapor lock search results I read pertained to earlier V11's with the external pump....no mention of this happening on an 03 or newer.
The fuel lines are not resting on a cylinder or anything like that.
The closest one is about 2" from the right cylinder.
The only thing I noticed is that the fuel tank was pressurized.....is it supposed to be?
I decided to remove the EVAP canister and I'll remove the tipover valve tomorrow.
Any other newer V11's experience this?
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
Clay

If I'm out of my mind and making no sense let me know Maybe I'll save some money with the alum and pick up a PCIII at the same time Nothing like going broke saving money.
You're not....unless I am too
I'm going to do the same thing.....Get some Mistral Aluminum ovals and a PC111

My Hepco Becker 30L saddle bags, 45L topcase, and mounting racks just arrived.
Haven't installed them yet.
I'm sure there are pic's on here somewhere with the stuff mounted.

1. I don't have one.
2. I'd like one.

Jim.
Do you know if your Centauro has the Creedon chip?
I highly recommend it if it doesn't.

Why don't you start by eliminating those ugly mirrors and replacing them with these:

Wow! Thoose are nice mirrors.
I might have to pick up a set for mine.
Congrats on the Centauro.

Getting the wheel off was pretty straight forward, no problems once I found the tools. I don't have any tire changing equipment (yet) so i had the local honda dealer do it.
Haven't ordered the bell yet, I need to get on that.

Hey John.
I'm loving the LeMans.
Haven't been able to spend as much time on it as I'd like though.
Between crappy weather, crazy work hours, and a nail in the rear tire at 650 miles, I've only been able to put on 875 miles the month I've had it.
Not too bad I guess.
I'll shoot ya an e-mail sometime.

Very good filter.
I use them both on the LeMans and Centauro.
I'll see ya around.

How's it working out for you?
