Docc, "very likely?" "realistically?" or "for sure." (?) If "for sure", I need to discuss some towing & parking logistics help with someome. We're on! "For sure!" There are a couple Spine Raiders in the vicinity that have offered various assistance. Seems the hospitality stopped short of bail money.

Seven weeks out! Just emailed Walt to start the reservation process. Rather than fix the oil leak on the Sport, I think I'll just bring a rag. Anyone know if minimike's Tellico Motorcycle Outfitters is still open?
-
Agreed that this and lots of the threads here on 24/7 V11 subforum probably "fit" better in Tech Topics, but it's so common to cross-post tech topics here that it's become de rigeur to simply peruse both subforums for technical postings.

Did the bulbs surrender themselves without a fuss?

Last fuse in the block (position 8). On the original V11 it was used for the electric fuel petcock. Kiwi_Roy likes to use the point to pick up 12vDc power indication.

I can begin this today for you, Jaap! I spoke with EuroMoto and they will ship directly to you. Let me know if you want me to pull the trigger!

2003 was the last LeMans same as the Cafe sport, however in NZ they weren regestered till 04-05, clasing them as a 05, but they aint only ONE V11 relised in 05, the mysterios Scura R Even the known VIN on Scura R have all been 2004. So far, no true 2005 V11 have been shown. Still looking, though!

I'm liking the Pirelli GT. Much better for the V11 than all of the other Pirellis I've used up. I suppose she qualifies in the "heavier and powerful bikes" with all the weight and torque through that rear tire. Haven't seen the new Pilot Road GT by Michelin. I didn't care for the hard compound of the first generation Pilot Roadrash.

Cool! Looking forward to picture! Depending on what part of Ga, you might be in striking distance of the Tenth South'n Spine Raid in east Tennessee. Never have seen a "2005" LeMans . . . what's the tenth digit on the VIN?

Good news! Well done! Here is the link into that shopping website for the sensor itself. Mercedes Benz - woo'hoo: classy! -
Always start with a thorough "tune-up." TPS Setting and Throttle Body Balance.
-
First couple electrical issues to check would be the ignition switch (remove, clean, inspect, repair wires if needed) and relays (especially positions 1 and 2, swap in known good quality spares, make sure the connections are clean and tight). Do the three main indicator lights come on with the key (neutral, oil, battery)?
-
There you go! Late model Scura R (likely 2004 production sold into 2005). Pretty rare, I'm thinking, but maybe a world wide search would turn one up (MI, MPH in USA, TLM in Netherlands, HMB - Germany. Looks the one i your link has a different windscreen and maybe a sticker or decal but otherwise the same fairing.
-
The Tenni is (electrically/mechanically) a 2002 LeMans. All dressed up for a fast date!
-
No battery light with the key on could be an open 30amp fuse as well. Easy to check, but if it's blown look for the cause.
-
I was thinking that is the Givi style screen available for the Sports 2002 and on. The early screens are Stucchi and fibergalss. It may be the same or very similar to the Centauro screen. Come to think of it, didn't Centauro come in that black with red stripe?
-
I hope you will share some pictures and stories of it for those who cannot be there! I'm jealous!
-
Is it just the carbon fiber fenders that are one piece? Including the 2001 Rosso Mandello?
-
There not two piece like the early Sports?
-
Here's to fine fellow on his Long Journey!
-
The original batteries were labeled "Spark 500" as I recall. These are AGM (absorbed glass mat) and designed to lie on their side. Just be sure your seat isn't squeezing your battery! The Hawker Odyssey PC545 appears identical to the original battery.
-
+1 on all fotoguzzi's comments. Plus: yes, plastic tanks, all. Probably some kind of roto-molded polyamide . . . besides the full "leMans style" fairing, there are several smaller offerings - some fork mounted like the early Sport and others frame mounted like the Ballabio/Café Sport.
-
So, you're thinking faired V11 (LeMans/Rosso Corsa/Nero Corsa/Tenni), or "naked, " perhaps a little bikini faring (Sport/Rosso Mandello/Ballabio/Coppa Italia)?
-
Maybe a little pic of how the set-up on the airhead turned out; sounds like it might be revealing. And help you figure out which model V11 suits you. Once you hook a ride on one, you'll want to keep going back for more . . .
