Oil on engine case....?cylinder head gasket replacement
docc replied to plexiform's topic in Technical Topics
Those are perfect for the timing sensor that was leaking on the original poster's (plexiform's) V11 back in 2016, but that may not be what Seth has. The image I posted above shows a leak that had me thinking head gasket for a long time, but it is an O-ring inside the valve cover under a plug (that I can't get out) . . . -

Here ya go, bud:
-
Stand by, jwatches. Gonna move this question to TechTopics while I search for images and a link for you . . . .
-
Slip a sharp edge carefully under its edge and pry up. Pretty sure I can find swooshdave's images of this . . .
-
PC 545 is the direct replacement.
-
Yeah, "transitional" model with mostly 2002 features, yet the later black face (ITI?) gauges without the angle drives for the cable. I wonder if the Ballabio handlebars would be any higher, or just put the hands at a different angle . . .
-
Heh, I've never been fond (either) of the headlmap/instruments that stand off, frame-mounted, on the Ballabio and Café Sport. Otherwise, Guzzimax, the Ballabio will have the same frame as your 2003 Sport, but with handlebars instead of clip-ons . . . (Yet, I'm looking at your nice "maroon" 2003 Sport and it looks to be a "carry-over" 2002 with chin-pad/short tank, white face Veglia, etc. I can't tell , but are those actually clip-ons or handlebars?)

Hey, gstallons rocks! If you are running a Hawker Odyssey PC545, cosmo, consider a careful "conditioning" which includes verifying the charging voltages (once she starts):
-
Just for broad comparison, what horsepower did the vaunted, roadgoing V7 Sport of the 70s put down at the rear wheel?
-
I am uncertain, now: Is the TPS baseline target 156 mV or 157 mV?
-
An MGS-3/4! Whew, 20-30 kg would be hard to come by, yes? Start with very expensive magnesium wheels?
-
I had success with JB Weld epoxy sealing the wire coming out of the sensor years ago. It ain't purty, but works. (Fitting a new O-ring is good, as well, but didn't fix my leak.)
-
Sounds like a good plan. Doesn't take much grease to keep that together for assembly.
-
Seems it would not be difficult to fashion a little pusher from a scrap of Delrin or such. I would be concerned Nylon might swell from moisture exposure there. I suppose lots of folks have defeated their clutch lock-out by shorting the connectors. Even with the Neutral Switch/ Neutral Relay functional, the bike could then start in gear with the sidestand up. Simple enough to keep the habit of holding the clutch for start-up.
-
Hmm, actually no. That interface button is used to close the switch so the starter will engage.
-
Not sure where to put it. Sounds like a great TechTopic for thread of its own. Maybe when you perform same on your Greenie?
-
"Gravelly" is a good word for the 2002 black paint! Seems it would be hard to just touch up those areas without finishing the whole cases. I hear (from Scud and @footgoose) what a big job that is.
-
Cool, hart smith! Here is a link to your website (yes?): https://www.euromotards.com/ Anything for our soon-to-be-vintage V11 Guzzis?

I recall, when so many hands pitched in to make a new valve cover gasket for Goofman's 1200Sport at a SpineRaid, the impressive amount of oil that came gushing from an unsealed valve cover . . . (Don't forget this requires copious amounts of "gasket-making fluids" in bottle or can! )
-
So, a chunk of filter material swept downstream and chocked the throttle plate open?
-
I gave up on S-100 after it did bad things to various finishes and fasteners on the Sport. Following Chuck's inimitable lead, I am now a devotee of SuperClean.

So, the "V11 Sport" was produced throughout the model range as a naked bike (no fairing or fly-screen), "standard" (Marzocchi/Sachs) suspension, clip-ons, and fork mounted headlamp/instruments. The V11 Café Sport had Öhlins, a flyscreen, handlebars, and frame mounted headlamp/instruments (like the Ballabio) . This bike is rather a mix of features. There are, notably, no tail cowl graphics to help identification. It is, however, a nice example of both the bike and a legit ad. Tasteful mix of carbon fiber parts and meticulous presentation of images with appropriate asking price. I would love a broader view of what is wearing the white walls!
