They are working on it right now They think it was running lean.. something about the throttle body sensor was left a bit open... ill post more.. still waiting to get it back and see if its all better(been 4 weeks!)

I would also describe it as a slight shutter/hesitation... It kind of feels like it is not firing on both cylinders when I keep the throttle at 4k rpm (kind of a hollow sound from the engine). Not that I wont get up a hill but I dont think I should have to give it more gas or change gears to get it up hills. other rpm's are fine. I am not sure about valve settings...Is it going to take them any significant period of time for them to check? its $100 an hr at Munroe.... Will they be insulted to check the relays?? They replaced them a couple months ago.Instruct them to have it re-checked? As far as the mapping of the exhaust, I suppose I could have them re-map it but It seems like its a bit bigger of an issue then that. I just feel kind of bad telling them what to do since they did a lot of work on this thing twice and the issue remains. Is that all they should check? Do you think they will bill me to look into these things? I dont think they should charge me since this last time nothing was fixed. Thanks again

I was wondering if anyone has a V11 sport from ~2000. I think 'Bbennett' is right. I should see if someone else's bike does this same kind of thing or if its a real issue with mine... Anyone willing to let me check their bike out for 5 min (at operating temp?) THANK YOU

OK sorry for lack of info 1. the bike has an after market exhaust but it has for 3+ years (i have owned it for ~3 months) and he never mentioned this issue ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 timing sensor $137 1 0ring $2 1 potentiometer $329 2 spark plugs $5 1 fuel filter $76 1 regulator $249 1v/c gasket $5 1 used fuel pump $312 total $1115 2.5 labor = $245 So this is what he had done with these notes "we replaced your throttle position sense which made the bike run better, the crankshaft position sensor was also suspect and as been replaced. your charging system was not working until we put a new voltage regulator...at this point he bike was running well and charging and the fuel pump went bad and was replaced. 50 mile road test and it was running fine.............................. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ DO you think it is still some ligering issue? What should I have them look @ / do? Thank you all for your time/ input / knowlege and support. Cheers!

Hey So basically @ 3200 and like 3950-4200 rpm typicially in 2nd gear if i hold the throttle steady I hear the engine kind of hesitate / lose power and ride choppy If I give her more gas its fine or engine brake a bit.... I took it to the shop, they blead out the transmission (unrelated issue) , replaced spark plugs, (which they said 1 of them was not making full contact / wire was bad or something) and I got it back a week later.... its doing the same damn thing again at 4k rpm's and I have no idea whats going on I think it only happens at regular temp, not when its first running a bit cold so they prob couldn't re-produce it... if im going up a steep hill in san francisco it is much more noticeable.... also, when I rev the engine 50% of the time its fine, 50% of the time it kind of hiccups when I rev it..... the guy before me spend 1200+ on electrical repairs and Im wondering if its electic issue with relays or something more serious... should I bring it back to that shop? Anyone else have this issue?

Thank you for the quick reply.... I brought it to munroe and they could not find it. They said its very very slow and not something to worry about or drop $1000+ on until there are other problems. But I am now thinking my clutch is worn out and I should get both replaced at the same time.... The guy who sold it to me of course told me that there were no accidents although I didn't verify on carfax and either way there is a leak. Do you have any idea on costs / labor hours to replace the casing if thats what it is? Is it a good idea / safe to live with this and just add fluid until something happens or will that cause more damage? On a side note, How can I be sure that I am not effected by the v11s recall ? http://www.guzzitech.com/V11STrannyRecall.html Can this be done 4 years after the recall or is there a time limit?

Hey everyone So I have a 2000 v11 sport. I bought it a couple months ago and there seems to be a slight leak from the transmission. It drips on the pipes and smells/burns....Its a pretty slow leak but I am thinking since my clutch feels worn out (24k miles on this thing) How much would it cost to get the clutch replaced and while they already have the tranny out maybe fix the leak at the same time. Is this common for v11 sports from 2000? ANyone else have this happen? Anyone know a repair shop in the Washington DC area or the San Francisco bay area? (I am moving to DC in a few months, currently in san francisco) Please inform Thanks so much! I LOVE THE bIKE!!!
