"Sticky fuel pump? How so? BTW, I know a couple members that pm (personal message) to sort out technical problems, but it would be nice, for the forum's sake, to have the meat of those solutions posted. Better for discussion, sharing, and future searches.

Cold Smoke Scotch Ale, Kettle House Brewing, Missoula, Montana . . . Cheers!

Did the tappet failure only apply to the 4V heads only the 2V twin spark, or both?

When you discover the source of the no-start issue, please post!

I sent it by Mule Train. Mules do swim, don't they?

Heh - I choked on my Montana KettleHouse ColdSmoke ScotchAle on that one! :grin:

That last photo reminds me of a surgical team or a group of rocket scientists intent on their task. "They say" it ain't rocket surgery, but I'm sayin' it is! Well done, one and all!

Epitome of a Spine Raid:

If that doesn't get "the line between the lines lined back up with the lines", nothing will! And, rest assured, friends don;t let friends ride with under-inflated tires!

Customs holds anything red . . . . I just looked upon the museum replica of the Carcano Moto Guzzi V8 today. That fairing color reminds me so much of the Chook-bilt zinc chromate, I don't think I can bear to paint it.

I do want to go on record that, at one point, someone asked for a hammer . . . Jus' sayin' . . . .

Nothing, but nothing, was going to be left unseen!

All eyes on deck!

I believe the earliest were all 2 valve per cylinder. Certainly the '08 that Goofman just scored. Bellissima!

1) I'm not sure we have a particularly *concise* suspension sag setting thread. There are some threads, but sit back for some extensive forum post surfing. > At some point, I saved this link, but haven't read it in a while: http://web.archive.org/web/20091022090139/http://geocities.com/motoguzzi1064/GuzziFiles/SuspensionSetUp.htm 2) Search tutorial in "Motha of All V11 Forums": http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=15944&p=195117 3) I routinely use my browser to "Bookmark" important reference threads. 4) Alstublieft!

Also, there is a thread on the 2008 Sport in the "Newer Models" sub-forum. Have a look: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19071&p=204833 This thread will get moved there eventually, but let's get some posting first! [Personally, I think there ought to be a dedicated 1200 Sport Sub-Forum since *somebody* we know and love ( Chief Whip Jaap) has one!]

I don't know much about this frame series (what do we call them?), but you probably aren't going to get away with this on a Norge :

OMRON, apparently, discontinued this G8HN relay (Those are the ones I'm using). You can easily run a bead of epoxy around the underside of your relay where the case joins the base and seal it yourself. What we cannot do is alter the intrinsic materials and contact sizes: GEI | Omron Moving contact material: Silver alloy | Silver alloy NC contact material: Copper | Silver alloy NO contact material: Copper | Silver alloy Moving contact diameter: 0.085/0.083 | 0.099/0.098 inches Terminal material: Plated Brass | Plated Copper EDIT: Higher Capacity OMRON are available: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19755&p=216605 Heat comparison forthcoming . . . (waiting for "riding weather." )
