I seem to recall Pete saying the V11 being even more susceptible to oil starvation on hard acceleration because of the low first gear of the 6speeder. Plus, something about oil levels in V11 often being low since their owners are a vast lot of hairy-arsed knuckle draggers barely qualified to wield rusty star pickets. [Of course he never said that! I'm just showing off my study of his colorful vernacular while suggesting we keep oil levels up. ]

You are definitely ticking all the boxes! Makes me ponder the condition of your charging system . . . edit: @PhillipLarsen, out riding mySport, it occurred to me to ask if this is the original TPS and if you have hooked a sensitive Ohm meter across it and watched the resistance change (smoothly) while very slowly opening and closing it . . .

No alternative sources for this simple switch? I know someone posted one here before with a connection variation ( cannot find that post . . . ) After shimming my switch with a new (on hand) crush washer, the switch function was restored. One more amazing, honorable shout-out to this forum and its contributors! My wire connection, female spade connector, to the switch is really weak, and the rubber boot has hardened. The other day, I saw the neutral light flickering at idle and thought about the middle /#3/ "Sidestand"/ Neutral Switch Relay. This is the least stressed relay in our five relay stack. I consider it the "back up relay" if you need to swap one into a more demanding position (#1, #2, #5). My #3 is my oldest, 2021, and only remaining OMRON G8HE. Yes, I paint-pen the installation date on each relay. I was all staged to replace the middle/#3/ "sidestand"/ Neutral Switch Relay with a fresh OMRON and remembered: The Neutral Light illuminates from the Neutral Switch/connection (not the #3 relay). The Neutral Light can come on, yet the #3 relay has failed and the bike will not start and run with the sidestand down (failed relay). Or the Neutral Light can get flinky and it's the switch or the connection to the switch, but not the relay. A work in progress . . .

I might suggest that having to set the TPS very differently from the baseline (indexing the fuel/ignition map randomly) could indicate that some other parameter in the system is faulty. Perhaps a CO Fuel Trim setting far from zero. Or a sensor out of range. Guzzidiag is valuable for assessing these readings and their responsiveness as the engine warms. A way to see what the ECU is seeing . . .

Truly! Even the modern Sunshine Skyway is an impressive ride! Great memories of 2015: Baffi e Chiecchiaroni (Whiskers and Chatterboxes !) @czakky ^^^^ @JRD ^^^^

Gotta get me one o' them!

" . . . a speed handle. " . . . .

Good news is the Speedhut can be driven mechanically ( @Kiwi_Roy's preference ).

I was thinking "brake clean" solvent, but I am not the expert, here. Thanks for keeping this thread updated. Looking forward to a resolution. And, perhaps, another @HRC_V4 appearance at a South'n SpineRaid.

Same as our V11, yah, @pete roper?

Someone care to post a few details for those of us who can't see fb?

Let's ask the other inmates on the ward if it's crazy to keep all your bikes . . .

I love this plan! Bon voyage (however an Aussie might say that . . . )

"Pumped a lot of 'pane down in New Orleans"

Sounds like y'all had a great Nashville visit! For matters of clarification (Your Moderator's presumed function ), said "Mountain Dew" may or may not refer to the PepsiCo product depicted, although originally formulated by Tennessee bottlers in 1940. The lyrical reference may run deeper (into the surrounding hills and hollers) . . .

Agreed. In this way, you can see what rpm the ECU (map) is seeing, and know what your specific correction value is to what the tachometer displays. The accuracy of my Speedhut conversions has spoiled me, though . . .

Yes, the injected 1100 Sport-i would have at least one more relay than the earlier, carburetted, SPOrT 1100. The V11 has separate relays for the ECU and FI/coils. Plus the Start Relay and the "Headlight" Relay that handles pretty much everything besides the FI/ECU. The fifth (middle/#3) relay of the V11 Sport/LeMans is the "Sidestand"/ Neutral Relay. Not sure how the 1997 1100 Sport-i handles that function (preventing start-up in gear with the sidestand down).

Always so great to see you guys! It occurs to me that if the bikes showed up, with no Spine Raiders, there would be no Spine Raid. Yet, even if the Spine Raiders showed up with no bikes, it would still be a Spine Raid!
