  1. So, two - three minutes is plenty to take the surface charge off the pates and warm the battery, but not 5-10. What is the date code on the battery?
  2. More likely you need a new charger. The Odyssey will not actually charge with less than 6 amps.
  3. That seems rather un-pilot-like . . . When was the last time the ignition switch was inspected for broken wires, cleaned and restored?
  4. So, those Scotch Locks are to eliminate the bullet connectors? Might as well take them apart and make more secure connections (Lap splice, crimp connectors, etc.) and seal them well against the weather and blow. Those connections could still be problematic. Lights come on? Horn? (Edging toward relays next . . . .)
  5. When you turn the key on all lights come on? Brake light works and horn? If so, thumb the starter button. Not even a click? Holding the clutch in and the keeping the starter button pressed, sweep the steering lock-to-lock. Starter engages suddenly? This will be the two weak "bullet connectors" along the forward, left side of the frame needing attention (clean, crimp, Caig DeOxit or Vaseline, heat shrink, and groom them into place where the steering will not tug them open).
  6. Fuse 4 is the Ignition Switch. They deserve a good inspection, cleaning, and lubrication.

    Why would the cover need to be off?
  8. I like Progrip Superbike grips in this pattern. Cushy, yet positive grip and Made in Italy! (Also, do not neglect timely and meticulous tuning and synchronization to help tame the vibes!) https://www.revzilla.com/dirt-bike/pro-grip-699-sport-bike-gel-grips

  10. M6 X 1.00 thread pitch
  11. Yah: Legnano is a place. Think of it a a "suburb" of Milan. And the fabulous, electrifying green of the V11 Sport 1999-2001.
  12. Mot Tenni green, "Legnano Green", as luhbo noted above.
  13. From the Workshop Manual: " Ring nut for gearbox main shaft, clutch side 100 Nm " The failed Safety Washer is what caused my clutch to malfunction.
  14. Yes, the torque is high on this and requires both the special drive tool and the safety washer engaged.
  15. I’ll be back to my Workshop Manual in a few hours and will check. This is the special nut that holds the input hub to the gearbox and requires a special tool to tighten before securing with a tab from the Safety Washer?
  16. That was a hasty image capture, but I love the black&white theme with the V11Sport subtly revealing one hot, red stiletto . . .
  17. Airbox lid cut-outs and falling heat shielding are a bad combo . . . What a cool trip, man! Keep us posted!
  18. I love that Magni-faired silver Sport! So long and lean.
  19. It's always a hoot when the Greenie-guys get their strut on . . .
  20. I'm with LowRyter. There is nothing like the original V11 Sport Green. It is not the 70s V7 Sport Green, not the "Carcano" /Tenni green, not the modern V7 green. It is a thing of of its own. Elusive, enticing, entrancing. I mean, look at how it has affected otherwise sane and sensible folk . . .
  21. Heh . . . let the learning never end!
  22. “Daenerys Targaryen” - I had to look that (her) up . . . with that as your project focus, this is going to be a fun build to watch. Thanks for posting ! (I suppose this is more "Tenni" green . . .)
  23. Has it been repainted orange? Or could it be a Rosso Mandello?
  24. I just have to imagine Pete kicking wickets and taking names on the croquet lawns of 'stralia. Pete-The-Terminator: Hammertime!
  25. Click on this link and get a full set of five (maybe extras?). Use Caig DeOxit® on every contact, terminal, connection you open and can get to. Service the main ground to the back of the gearbox on the right. "Condition" your battery . . . https://www.onlinecomponents.com/omron-electronics/g8he1c7trdc12-42670683.html
