Well, I haven't posted in a while, and it was mostly good - I installed my Roper Plate with no negative consequences, the valve adjustment seemed to have cut down (though, not eliminated) the odd misfire I was getting, and I thought I had it all sorted.
Until I hit the brakes too hard on a freeway off-ramp and high-sided the LeMans at 15-20mph. More than anything else, I was embarrassed to make such a mistake, and injured my shoulder in the process, but worse yet, I pranged up the Guzzi a bit, too.
All of my damage is on the left side, an was mostly cosmetic. But I need parts, some of them are a bit obscure and not available with aftermarket replacements.
Shops like Bikebandit have online fiche readers that allow you to collect all of the parts numbers one needs for nearly every Japanese motorcycle you can find... but I can't find a similar resource for Moto Guzzis... I'd just like to get an idea of what the stuff would cost before I bring a parts list to the local dealer (Leo's South in Lakeville, MN).
And just in case you're curious, here's what I'll need:
New bar-ends (I'd like heavier ones if possible...)
Engine guards - the left one was shattered in the crash.
Upper sump assembly - the bolt that holds the lower part of the sidestand ripped out, shattering its casing. So the entire upper sump needs to be replaced. This is the worst damage of any of it. I couldn't imagine it's cheap, either...
Left-side spark plug wire
Left-side passenger peg mount (it's bent in, so the muffler doesn't hang right on it anymore)
Left-side muffler (not sure if I want to replace this yet or not...)
Left-side rear turn signal stalk
New side stand bolt that contacts the sidestand switch (was ground off) and screw that mounts the sidestand into the sump
Overall, it crashed well - the rash on the left side of the fairing and the sump bit are the most visible damage... I'd have preferred to not have crashed it at all, though.

Hi All,
I have a 2001 V11 Sport and have been running Redline Heavy Duty Shockproof synthetic gear oil in my rear differential housing. The bike has about 20,000 miles on it. The lube is leaking past the seals and dripping on the rear rim after having been in there for the last 12 months. I've checked the vent/fill hole and it is not plugged up. I am preparing to replace the seals but wonder if this is related to the lube, or would've happened even with the stock moly lube. Anyone else have a similar experience with the Redline stuff?
Thanks in Advance,
Corey Levenson
San Antonio TX
Its your cover seal in the diff housing leaking my had to be replaced along with the rear transmision seal at a little past 40k 02 lemans its better to have your dealer do it .

-

Helllo,
My turn signal lamp went out on my 2004 V11 Ballabio.
I remove it and went to 2 auto parts stores and to my Moto Guzzi dealer and nobody has a turn signal lamp that would fit. The pins on the lamp are at 130 degrees not like most lamps that are at 180. So I found a lamp that was 10 amps(anything lower then 10 amps the turn signal flasher will not work) and ground down one of the pins and it works. But it's white and a little to large. I hope it will not melt my trun signal lens. 
The Dealer said they will order them for the Factory. But that could take a long time.

sam try abuell dealer or check how to section on page 4 buell turn siganls i think the ones of a s2 will work

Hello Guzzies,
Nothing that important.
But, between the manual's and the forum.
I've always wondered just how far my v11 would
go on a full tank of gas (From the brim to thats all folks!).
Well, tonight I finally answered that question. Luckly on
home turf.
I last filled up on the East-side of the Ortaga High with Todd, Warren,
and Rich heading home, post the Moto Euro West rally. My faithful
steed has been parked ever since in the garage after making it home.
On a quick blast around the "Hood" for some Coffee, I found out just how
far MY V11SPORT will go between pit stops... 139.6 miles.
No farther, no less. I now know because at every fill up during the
rally we'd all re-set our Trip-Om just to judge our way about.
So know I now, ya-hoo! I'm glad it happened local and I could call one of
my "five minute away" riding buddies for some gas. I do wish how ever
it WASN"T in front of my favorite espresso bar.
As an after thought...
How come I didn't get any "Air-Bubbles" or "Vacume-Lock" in my F.I???
Oh well, just thought I'd share. 139.6 139.6 139.6...
THATS GOOD TO KNOW.
Peace, rubbersidedown,
Jedione68
P.S. YES, the gas light came on once or twice, but for the last
10 miles or so and post "No" gas... THE LIGHT WAS GONE!!!
