I think Paul's TPS is new , so you can't see where it WAS . I am not sure if this is a result or a symptom he was trying to cure. Do you know what your TPS v is @ idle now ?

Most of this maintenance is done for idle and just off idle "cures" .Hopefully this will affect Paul's problem.

IDK if it has ever been replaced but , it would be a good idea to install a new fuel filter and have that out of the way .

"Snug" to "tight" . This is tight enugh to not come loose.

Get the meter out ! Tomorrow you ca say EUREKA !

NoNoNoNo. the idle speed is set w/the idle speed screw Docc mentioned.

Be careful !

I did a eBay purchase on a package of bolts from a V11 teardown . Needed a swingarm pivot bolt because I crossthreaded the original . The "new" ones wouldn't work. Removed the pork chop, screwed the bolt in from the inside out and "fixed" it.

As Columbo once said "just one more thing". When you are playing w/the adjustments , you are going to have to get familiar with the turn to distance ratio . as in one half turn equals 0.002" .Get you a SMALL feeler gauge set from NAPA and use it to see how much one turn will gain you. I did all this because I didn't know the thread pitch . e.g. : thread pitch is 1.25 , this is 1.25mm between thread. One turn gives you 1.25mm movement. You will use this when you are synchronizing the throttle plates.

Nope. I do know the pivot bolts/studs can be two different sizes. I found this out the hard way ! Do you recall the thread size/pitch ?

I think this is the correct stuff. If the screw uses a 3mm hex . I have a stubby 1/4" drive socket 3mm hex that is 26mm overall length . part # TMAMXS3E. I have a 1/4" hex bit / 3mm hex . Part # SDMM2703B and it is 24mm overall length . W/the bit you can use a 1/4'' wrench to adjust the screw with. You can Google these tools typing in Snapon then the part # I have a bunch of this stuff and this size has the most sockets. I brought the tray inside in case this is wrong , I can post more #s.

I will have to check my tool box before I leave to see the SnapOn part # of the tool I use to play with this stuff.

now for all the other adjustments. EVERY one of them is critical. Make sure you follow these procedures and you understand what/why you are doing them. Once you have your epiphany , you will smack your forehead and think "this was too easy" .

I can't remember the base v but, the 0.157v is the # you want to adjust the throttle plate to from fully closed. IDK how to find this procedure I posted here some time ago. I do remember , EVERY step is critical and you follow EVERY step to a T. I hate getting old ! I can remember an event at 1 1/2 yrs.old , the 1st day of school. all my 1sts. but I cain't remember where I laid my car keys.

Gas tank swell !

If you have to ask......

Don't be surprised when it doesn't "fit". You will have to decide the best way to secure it to the tank.

It is no longer in production. If you can find one in stock somewhere , jump on it! ebay too is a god place to go , too

The gearbox Joe had pictured looks like the way to go ! You get in there and things could get out of hand quick .When you do get it going , fill w/new fluid , ride it 100 mi. and drain / refill. Examine the fluid to see what it looks like .

You can do like I used to. You load it up in the truck-haul it to the ditch-go back and get it back out of the ditch and put it back where it was.

IDK , but I have a lot of it too.........

Those vehicles are built in Dyersburg about 85 mi. from here . I am glad it is a successful business but , I will probably never own one. If riders do't like the "twist" of a M/G , I can't imagine revving a small block Chevy on two wheels. The Laverda , on the other hand , I have seen a Jota and heard ir run . A religous experince . WOW . It was a project bihe a buddy had. Parts for a Laverda are hard to come by in W.Ky. He sold it to a buddy that hustles bikes. It was sad to see it go , but everything you own is divided into two categories . Jetsam of flotsam .

Sorry to hear / see that word "my" in a listing.

A lot of people (on this forum) use this oil. My bikes had this. I changed this out and installed Motorcraft synthetic. When I had drained this out , I liked the way it felt after 100k mi.

So , which diagram ended up compatable to your bike ? Now , print and enlarge this diagram as large as possible and laminate it for you and posterity . Get you some erasable markers in variable colors . You will understand why . Now , go over this until you can draw it from memory ! I am beginning to think each wiring harness/diagram is exclusive to each motorcycle ?
