Aaaaah! Ballabio !! above/ L: @sctt2525 / R: @Bill Hagan below: @PhillipLarsen:

Strictly speaking, the blouse is optional with a RedFrame. Although, one must plan for the extra time to peel the chick off the magnet before the ride . . .

Happy to see consistent, increasing bidding on the Ballabio! Three days to go . . .

Sweetest sounding canisters I ever heard on a V11 were the oval carbon fiber Gianelli on @andy york's LeMans. The deep, harmonious sonority was fabulous from behind. Which is where I always was relative to York's LeMans (pulling away through the corners). That said, I have never heard a bad sounding V11 SpineFrame.

By "lock washer", do you mean the thin, ridged Schnorr type washers?

Maybe just find "slip on" canisters. Your Ballabio will love you (back) for it . . .

I see washers on the flywheel and toothed ring fasteners, but not "lock" washers. GU14615901, Washer 8,4 x 13 x 0,8 mm for the flywheel to crank GU14217901, Washer 6,4 x 10 x 0.7 mm for the toothed ring to the flywheel Notably, the workshop manual specifies new bolts, with medium strength Loctite, for the flywheel bolts, torque 40-42 Nm. The Workshop Manual does not specify that the "ring wheel"/ "toothed ring" requires either new bolts or thread locking agent (i.e. Loctite)

(Italian) glue + bubblegum = olive oil Pretty sticky. Until the first time it heats up . . .

Such a very nice V11! And a very thorough walk-around video, @Steve54296. Complete with the wife weeding the garden at 1:22 (let's not tell her . . . ) We do have a longtime member who has a place for this (in his heart and in his garage). I'm not naming any names, but his initials are @Bill Hagan . . .

Would someone be so kind as to post the BaT link/

In addition to the rear main, there are two gaskets, the cam "bung", and the two bolts at the bottom of the main carrier that need sealing. Then two on the gearbox and one that I am forgetting....

Worth rebuilding the master cylinder. Kits are available . . .

Does your hand lever have a lot of "travel" before engagement?

Okay, nice! The early V11 Sport side cover emblems with the Tri-Colore and the checkerboard . . . https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/lmAAAOxyqKVRhIZ1/s-l1600.webp

Agreed. The TPS indexes 'the map" to the entire rpm range. Not the best place to compensate for some other shortcoming. Sure, the "shortcoming" could be compromised injectors. May I ask if both the fuel and air filters have been renewed?

So, the scrutiny falls back on the (Grimeca) slave cylinder? For certain, the Brembo "master cylinder", at the actuation hand lever, has been ruled out?

Do have a direct link to our V11 emblem? [The link you posted is to their "store" showing all products . . .]

With the gearbox removed, does the pushrod and piston slide freely back and forth? Has the gearbox input hub remained properly staked?

Regarding the "Pilot lights - bulb options? " The very early V11 Sport had a "flat" lens over the indicator lights which were very dim. Later (2002?), jeweled lenses were introduced making the wee bulbs much more visible. Also, incandescent bulbs will "plate" the interior of the glass over time making the bulb dimmer, looking a darker grey-black. Simply renewing the little bulbs can make a significant difference.

I have had the battery light come on with a broken yellow alternator wire connection (failed alternator status) and also a loose positive charging connection to the battery (running the battery down). In simple terms, then, if the battery voltage and the charging voltage are mismatched enough, the imbalance grounds the warning light.

Since it appears that only the RAM single plate replacement clutch assembly is available as the 5speed option, it appears we are down to two scenarios: Installing the RAM 5speed replacement on: 1) a V11 6speeder with single plate clutch/ aluminum (crack prone) flywheel [Scura, Tenni, and Rosso Mandello] 2) a V11 6speeder with twin plate clutch/ steel flywheel

Kiwi_Roy drew one up. Find it in @Weegie's dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/no8adkie1sl6frnc2qmm8/ALzrUXsngCqMRtfMR1cXedE?rlkey=8x5byzd4ux3107610i22ig5v6&e=1&st=3xbx7rbu&dl=0
