No matter what, periodically snug all the fasteners that anchor the sidestand to the engine. One of the V11's Achilles' Heel:

More like "WTF?" which is something like what I said when my forks hit the floor.

James, Roy has often said that if cycling the ignition switch affects your bike's function, it should be disassembled, cleaned, and inspected for broken connections. Easy job worth the effort! Also, be sure you have tight connections to a high quality relay in position #2.

Those look like very nice pieces! I am not clear if the prices are for one each or a pair?

I've never seen a happier V11! Look at that big smile on her face. BTW, highest and best use of the factory spindle: curious Italian shelf art:

Beautiful stuff, and, oh my - The Odello!

"Old school?" See, more V11 analogies! I wish my cheap-ass bass had better pick-ups, controls, and output. I've rewired it a couple times and replaced the capacitor, but it's no impressario.

+1 - swapping the springs seemed good for me, although wouldn't mind if the seat latch spring were a little softer as well. Not sure what makes the internal friction in the thumb lever, or can it be tightened? No matter what, be certain your idle is really high enough to begin with and the high idle control becomes more a matter of convenience. (I prefer my idle on the high side, 1200-1400 depending on conditions).

Some guys look at their bikes like women - sure, they look great all dressed up, but taking things off is good, too . . . "You Can Leave Your Hat On." https://www.google.com/search?q=You+Can+Leave+Your+Hat+On&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=You+Can+Leave+Your+Hat+On&tbm=vid

I'd like to add that LED charge indicator one day (even though mine ain't broke!) Fascinating to find someone who actually builds electronics. I thought they came about this way:

I'll probably rebuild my Go_Winkie next "Tank-off" with the LED and a resistor. I haven't ridden it yet to see how visible it is - maybe it's fine the way it is ( I was hoping for *green*, though . . .) If the location and visibility are good, I'll pull the fuse and only activate that circuit if the Sport develops an intermittent fault while running at rpm. Easy, then, to pop in the fuse and the Go_Winkie is on the job! Should I be concerned that the resistor will be hot and need a heat sink or other consideration?

Such neat, tidy work. The loom on your V11 must be impeccable!

My cable goes under the cross brace, but again, my Sport has the earlier angle drive rather than the "bent tube" of the later black face ITI. Hopefully, a qualified expert will shortly post >>>

You cannot use an LED by itself on 12 Volts, you need a resistor in series, 1k is about right. The long lead on the LED is Positive. I never even noticed the longer lead. Thanks, Roy! So, I thought I just got the wrong LED kit (3v). No such thing as 12v LEDs?

Mike, Generally the bent tube housing angles forward and inboard at about 45˚ to the inside of the throttle body and clearing the linkage rod. I have the earlier "angle drive" so I don't suppose a picture of mine would be helpful . . .

New topic to help Salva, in Chile, fix or find a tachometer - early white face Veglia. Salvo, Check to see that all of your lights are working: headlight, brakelight, instrument lights and also the horn.

Salva, Let's make a new topic for you to find or fix your tachometer.

Save that bottle for your late night airbox mods!

Very sharp eye to spot the TR6! What is not clearly visible are the tap handles on the refrigerator doors. I'm always quick to volunteer to help bleed the TR bakes!

Ah - "flash-to-pass" So, all's well?

Wait, what did you have to solder? The new switch did not just plug in?

Wait, what? Early V11 Sport literature and press releases also said "White Power" shock, but none have ever been reported - only the Sachs-Boge with blue rebound adjuster and white spring. Earlier Sport 1100/ 1100 Sport had the White Power (maybe the Daytonas and Centauro, also? ) Do the Tenni have a Sachs-Boge? Or White Power rear shock?

I accept the orange "jack handle cover" as a *subtle* message for me prompting the Coppa owner to use every known device to prevent the lovely V11 from falling on its face. The plywood solution is good thinking. I was considering simply welding a bigger disc to one end of the spindle. The Coppa owner is a clever, witty dude: "This glove's for you!"
