  1. There was a company a few years ago ( Air Dog Diesel Fuel System ) that sold some high tech fuel pump / filtration device that aligned molecules , removed excess air molecules , ionized ( whatever needed ionizing )something or stratified something else . I think it was a It was about $1000 USD . JC Whitney or Ron Popeil wouldn't' try to pawn this junk off on anyone. The only thing these things do is remove $$$ from your checking account.
  2. The interpretation is difficult . Can you explain in detail what your problem(s) is you are having ? Is it the V11 bike or another ?
  3. Now you're talkin' right !
  4. Lucky Phil's ultrasonic cleaner is the only way to go .

  6. Uhhh , you will have to decide for yourself .....
  7. Do you think insurance companies watch YouTube ?
  8. Most vehicles ( I use this term loosely ) show a build / production date 00/00 or 00/0000 . The fist characters distinguish the mo .The remaining characters distinguish the year. This may or may not be the year model. It is at least a reference point. Most automobiles start producing the next model yr around Aug. or Sept. I am sure motorcycles use this same "rule" . This is a rule , not a law . Look at the VIN plate on your car or truck . It is the easiest to inspect and you will get familiar with this.
  9. Hmmmm.
  10. You will need to look at some service info to see what is the specific fuel pressure .
  11. Not sure of the build date but it's listed as a 2001. What is the build date ?
  12. Yes . IDK if MG has a diagram of indexing piston rings. Your piston pin will be 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock looking down at the piston . You do not want ring gaps in or around this part of the piston pin area. You will probably want the top 2 compression rings at least 90 degrees from each other .Maybe 10 o'clock & 4 o'clock I can't tell if the oil wiper ring is a 1 or 3 piece device . If it is 1 piece you want it 120 degrees from the compression rings . 3 piece oil wiper rings , you will want the expander and the wipers 120 degrees . Do some investigating or some others can give input .
  13. #1 all fuel systems that are not gravity feed , require pressured fuel to reach the fuel mixing device. The fuel supply requires pressure & volume . All systems have operating specs. for this . a. clogged fuel filters will cause a lowered fuel pressure / volume condition . b. fuel pressure / volume is critical for fuel injected powerplants . c on some fuel injected vehicles a 2 psi below specs will cause a no-start condition . #2 the ecm does not (in this case ) know what the actual fuel pressure is. It assumes it is in operating range. #3 I do not know if any factory sensors on the V11 are wide band O2 sensors or not . #4 most fuel pressure regulators have this port that is open to atmosphere , connected to manifold vacuum . This will lower or raise fuel pressure to work with a change in throttle . I do not know why MG does not use this . To emry , what is aDI unit ?
  14. After you get through & ready to reassemble , make sure you index the piston ring end gap correctly !
  15. The fuel pressure is important . The ecm is "mapped" for this pressure for the correct spray pattern , volume , etc. The computer decides the pulse width of the injector(s) .
  16. I had just gotten out of the hospital from a heart operation , was going to a BMW rally in Tn. and dropped my K100 in a gas station driveway after missing a turn .I was loaded down with enough junk for 4 days. I had to pick this thing up wondering if my chest would rip open or all this new junk they put in my heart would bust loose. The embarrassment always is heavier than the bike .
  17. Get some knee pads to cover ( if they will ) the ugly on the tank . Don't worry about the rash on the l.h. side . You will drop a bike at least once in your lifetime pushing it around the shop or getting it off of a stand followed by a screaming , cussing ( cursing for the Northerners ) nuclear meltdown . I think Palo Alto Speedo service fixed my gauges. Lubricated , p.s. did someone tell you , you can own one bike at a time .
  18. It will end up being " personal preference " as to how snug or loose you want them . With the front off the ground some want them to fall to the left or right when they are off center . Others want them to stay where you leave them . It's up to you .
  19. There are many good sealants w/varied and specific applications. A person needs to keep an open mind to keep improving.
  20. what is three bond ?
  21. You can use it on any mating sufaces you want . It is this good. You can use it with a gasket or as a lone sealant. There is an assembly procedure you must adhere to for it to be effective .
  22. Watch some videos , I think you will be getting some and using it .
  23. Have ay of you ever used Hylomar ? It is from the UK and it is pretty good stuff . If you have not heard of it , Google and spend a few hours .
  24. Good answer .
