Am I the only one?
Or do they all do it?

Can anyone help me. My 2000 V11 Sport with 7000 miles on it has started this bad habit of keeping the oil light on below 2000 RPM and goes off as soon as it revs above 2000 RPM. Runs excellent!
Changed the oil and dropped the pan yesterday. Nothing seems out of place, No clag or shavings at all, clear oil that drained. Clean Screen too. Thought it might be a bit too full. Nah, right up to second line on dipstick. Doesn't come on when bike is cold, but as soon as it warms up, its back on. Does it in Neutral and all gears with clutch in. Hats to take to dealer for simple fix! HELP! Thank's for the help in advance.
Just had the problem solved at Corsa Italiana.
Faulty oil pressure switch.

I had seen that before, but had no luck finding the 12mm to 1/4NPT adapter. One thing I wondered about was Greg's comment about stopping the 12mm tap just as its widest point reached the adapter. Isn't the 12mm X 1.5 a straight thread? The sensor looks like a straight thread with a douty type seal in the picture. If so, stopping before the thread is fully formed could lead to preventing fully screwing in the sensor and jamming it before bottoming out to let the seal do its job. I suppose one could then apply enough torque to force it home.
Cheers,
John
My V11 oil light comes on at tickover once the engine's warm.
Goes out as soon as I increase the revs.
My dealer,Corsa Italiana,says it's nothing to worry about.
So I don't worry about it.

Richard,
It's been 2 months since I bought my 2001 V11 Sport.Only three tankfulls in & I love it.
It has managed to vibrate a couple of bolts loose,but has proved reliable during the cold mornings in London town.Just waiting for it to warm up a bit,then i'll take for a blast round some country lanes.
Only gripe,the fuel consumption's poor,about 40 mpg around town.

Chesham, just outside the M25. Quite often use the Guzzi to go into the smoke M4 / Hammersmith / Kew Bridge way.
Nogbad,
You must ride past my house,i'm just off the A40.
I pick the V11 up tomorrow.
Who does your servicing??

Nogbad,

After a brief test ride this afternoon,i've bought a mint 2001 V11 Sport.
A former Guzzi press bike with only 5000 miles on it.It looks brand new.
Standard condition,rides great.
I'll pick it up in two weeks after a holiday.

Just had to replace the Carbon Lorraine rear pads after only 3000 miles.
Started making a horrible groaning noises & were nearly knackered after not many miles.
Replaced with EBC HH.
