I suppose that my battle with the early Sport instruments led me to translate "Veglia" = "fragile" . . . As long as your #1/#2 relays check out, let's count on a replacement Veglia tach for your beautiful Sport. (I tried the usual ten page ebay search and didn't find one . . .)

"TIMEX" does not equal A.Lange&Söhne in any measure, yet our V11 seem worthy of (mostly) analog solutions . . .

And for certain, both Relay#1 and Relay#2 have been changed out to rule out that one (or both) of them could be the tachometer problem? edit: I found this thread, but am concerned that there was no full resolution to the relay question. Still running those nefarious Siemens @samdroid?

Wasn't there a Brit car parts/accessories catalog equivalent to JC Whitney in The States? Anyone remember "MG Mitten?" I recall there were cartoon caricatures of various cars with oversize wheels and tires branded "BigWeenies" . . . (Or did my mind fabricate this . . . )

@igor, apologies for the thread drifts. So very happy to hear you have your gearbox shifting well! Keep us posted on your riding and enjoyment of your V11 !

groan . . . might as well drift this thread three times sideways . . .

Yeah, that's it. I remember now . . .

Reminds me of . . . IDK . . . something . . .

Ok, so maybe I like it because I can't have it . . .

While 1999 V11 Sport are known in Europe, I am not sure we have verified any V11 Sport in the USA until the 2000 year model. Also, I wonder if the V11 only lingered into 2005 in Europe while US V11 ended with 2004. For instance, I don't think we have ever seen a (delicious) 2005 Scura R in The States . . .

"Hey! I resemble that remark!"

I wanted to go back through the captions and count how many times he said, "I can't explain" . . . Of course, we are all nodding in agreement as he says this.

Same here in The States finding 12mm fuel line. I would be nervous running fuel through heater hose. What about 1/2" fuel line. I've used that and it tightens right up. Just taking up slightly over a half millimeter? Be certain to give it some sort of heat shield, as well . . .

Recent events here reveal how critical a forum's stewardship (plus diligence, persistence, expertise, and determination) [are] to preserving a forum. Jaap continues to stand over our flock by the gate. Glad to hear that Pete's persistence has paid off for the Griso community!

"Shifting back into" [neutral] makes the neutral light come on and pulls in the middle/#3 Relay?

"I would say she is capricious."

Down to the wire, then @cash1000! Considering where you have been with this project over the last three months, I would say, "You've got this!" While many of us could swap out that fuel line (and keep it short enough to groom up and away from the cylinder head heat), I realize that later fuel pumps might be mounted above the spine which would require the tank removal. I reckon this is your case?

The CIT are probably just fine, especially for later V11 wiring (2002-2005). The Picker Components relay is particularly interesting for the #1 position in the early (1999-2001) Sport and Rosso Mandello that feeds all of the power through that N.C. contact on to Relay #2 (headlight etc.). This is the only micro relay I have seen with a 25 amp N.C. contact rating. Notably, OMRON were never OEM on the V11. Pretty sure those were Siemens throughout the V11 production. If your OMRON are G8HE, I would leave that 35 amp N.O. contact in Position #5 (fuel/ignition). [For that matter, just leave the G8HE in all the positions and stow the CIT for spares.]

Thanks for posting the link to the clutch bleeder @80CX100. Here's the link to the individual U-joints:

@activpop, Where is the main ground cable that should be attached to the back of the gearbox?

The best explanation I heard for this section in the manual is that it was cut and pasted from the Daytona manual. IIRC, it was because the Daytona shaft had no means for lubrication.

GU02781101 Warning Light Panel 2002 The earlier (1999-2001) "Panel with Lenses" without the jeweling is GU02781100 [The later (2003-2005) panels don not have the battery light and have two turn indicators instead of one]

No way you could JB Weld the damaged part, then drill and tap it? I'll have a look for the jeweled T-panel part number. It's from the 2002 Parts Catalog . . .
