Some guys know how to have a good time. Not likely to make "T.W.O." by 10-hundred, but still planning on EuroMoto ("Rider's Hill") for lunch-time. I'll get back with the Testa Uomo (Anthony) at the dealership in Dahlonega to let him know we are descending there. This year: expect even less organization. Less, even, that the "none" from before. Sure, sure : bring our own spine and all that . . . BYOS

what to bring on a Spine Raid: extra: relays, spark plug, spark plug cap/90˚ resistor, fuses, relays, bulbs (esp. 1157 tail/brake), relays, zip-ties, maybe some extra relays . . . Did I mention relays ? . . . . . . . .

Of course, this brief tutorial on Holland and the Netherlands is always helpful. Y'all.

I'm not entirely sure how it works . . .

That all sounds fabulous! Well, except for the time travel required to arrive two weeks from now in Tellico Plains sixteen days ago . . . grappa does this to people.

An eastbound contingent is shaping up to leave lower middle Tennessee Friday morning, Sept. 12, and roll about 200 miles of backrounds to Tellico Plains arriving mid-afternoon. Heading out after breakfast at MarcyJo's Mealhouse, 4 miles east of I-65/ Exit 46, 'round 'bout 9 am central time. BYOR (Bring Your Own Relays)

I would think part #18 in the wheel diagram may be absent. The parts Hubert referenced (30 & 31in the rear drive diagram) I would think would cause more of a fore and aft play if they failed.

Should be no movement. There is a spacer between the inside of the drive and the wheel of about 15mm. I believe it is the same spacer used on the left front axle on the early (Marzocchi) Sports.

Does it defeat the "battery light?" (I'm sorry, I forget . . .

I get so confused . . . , does the ESR "plug and play" with the stock connectors?

On the early Sport, the overflow (left) hose routed down the left side, through a one way valve (which must be oriented vertically), behind the starter, and fixed (zip-tied) to the 90˚ angle of the steel braided return line to the sump effectively keeping any overflow off the hot engine. Sure it dumps in front of the rear tire, but it's off the engine. The right side tank vent connected to an elaborate system of emissions plumbing. The "hose management loops" were for the two 1/2" fuel lines originally routed from two carbon canisters in the tool tray with vacuum from the intake taps. Twenty feet of rubber hose and 2 canisters: 5 pounds! The two tank hoses can be "Y-ed" together in front of the airbox which keeps them closer at hand when reaching under there from the front to reattach. Many bikes have had the overflow valve removed as it sometimes contributed to "tank suck." Also, if you choose to remove the "hose management loops,' be advised: the fastener hole is contiguous with the gearbox oil and will spew a perfect stream of gear oil when removed.

Sounds like you are going to really like your V11! The valve lash/TPS/throttle body balance will work wonders! (How many miles on that driveline?) The SpeedHut are such an excellent solution (Veglia #3 pictured above I wish it would display voltage.

Hmmm, don't know if they changed?

Just a reminder to click on the link in Post #1 to go to the entire collection of chamberlin's brochures in FileShare including the Tenni brochure he just posted. Thanks, again, chamberlin!!

That's painful, man! And I don't see another bike listed in your profile . . . 18 months with no bike could make a guy grumpy.

Great sound! BTW, does your battery light not come on with the key?

Take ze proper papers, ja? We would like for you to return easily!

I'm not sure my entire Sport, complete with Öhlins, would bring 1200 Euro!

In the process, did you find an Öhlins can actually be sourced again for the V11 application? Years ago, when I got mine, the word was it was the last of them.

Great location for a future Spine Raid! Hey - it's still "South'n!" Well, south of Wiesbaden . . .

Gonna miss ya, S! Enjoy your time with your son. Maybe a trip to Germany is in your future (with a scoot over the mountains to Mandello)!

Jacob, I've been in touch with gstallons and will PM you his contact information. It certainly looks like he has the nut you need. Stand by!

Gotta love it when a plan comes together! What a woman! (I luvs u 2, bill . . . )

belfastguzzi wrestled with this one like St. George and the Dragon . . .

I'm gonna look for that repair thread. Otherwise, keep us posted on the progress. czakky recently had his timing cover off and has a thread worth reading. And dawdish found a messed up gasket, but also shows some good info on this thread: "Oil Leak" started in 2007 by richard100t and goes through May 2014. svjj fixed his with JB Weld, but it's still not the thread I'm looking for . . .
