    Help me find a green bike

    in 24/7 V11

    Posted

    Yeah, we need more *Greenie attitude* . . . . :whistle:

     

    BigBlock and LuckyPhil and LowRyter need somebody in their corner!

     

    And then, you'll find yourself in a tight bond with other RedFramers. A dubious lot . . . ;)

    Thanks for the update. This means that anyone could install the RAM 5-speed unit in a V11 if they have the correct transmission input hub.

     

    Good to hear your bike is sorted.

    And the twin plate 6speeder already has the correct hub?

    Okay, I give up, what does "Aaaaaah! "Champagne!"" mean? :-)

    The color of the '02: "champagne."

     

    One of the most beautiful LeMans colors, IMHO. Everybody knows I love them all, but there are a few that really pop the design language, and I think the champagne is one.  I suspect the red/grey of '02 is more common, but IDK.

     

    Sweet ride, man! :thumbsup::mg:

    Reaction Rod end failure

    It's hard to fathom that casting a dedicated piece, applying a finish, and pressing bushings into each end would be any cheaper than a length of round stock with two Heim joints installed?  :huh2:

     

    I had always had the impression it was done as a matter of *style* . . .

    Sump Breather Hose Delete?

    in Technical Topics

    Posted

    I was asking mainly because I am always curious about ways to reduce the amount of clutter of hoses and wires and extra fittings etc etc on the bike, and it looked like a possible candidate for removal if in fact it wasn't crucial to the operation of the engine.

    Installing SpeedHut gauges

    Speedhut has been spectacularly professional and patient with me while I have re-refined the face designs. On to the actual build now, then to the installation. Thanks to all of those who have gone before me!

    A couple systems that really benefit from frame grounds are the headlights and the horns. These are also the systems that benefit from a separate fused power feed to auxiliary relays . . .

     

     

    I just added two relays to my EV's headlights and they are now visibly brighter. Would my '04 V11 benefit from the same setup or does it have a dedicated headlight relay already? TIA

     

    No dedicated headlight relay on your '04.  Lots of owners have reported brighter headlamps with fused power to a dedicated relay, grounding headlights back to the frame or block.

     

    brlawson just got the components and materials from EasternBeaver to do this.

    I decided to use separate relays and grounds for the hi and lo beams, but I'm a certifiable nut case. :blink:

     

    Of course, everyone here knows that already . . . . :grin:

    2003 Le Mans front axle

    in Technical Topics

    Hi 

      I could be wrong ... the Ohlins forks have the hollow axle that also has a nut to 

    Fasten it. i.e.... ducati 

      The Marzoc"s  have an axle that feeds from left to right and screws into the right 

    fork lower.

      That part #  should be GU 01614190

    I am unaware of a 3rd option 

    sorry ... can't put my hands on my old one 

     

    andy

    Oh, right! Maybe four variants?

     

    Early (40mm) Marzoc's could have the axle threaded into the left fork leg or through bolted to a lock nut. I had thought the later 2003-2005 (43mm) Marzoc's were hollow, but forgot all about the Öhlins!
