My V11 gearbox has about 40.000 kms, still the original spring

I've edited the registry!

My starter button was a bit corroded at one time. Took it apart, cleaned it, put it back together, problem solved.

Registry updated

It's plug and play, although a valve en TPS check beforehand is a good thing

FYI: Rotors are the same as on early Aprilia RSV models

I don't think WP shocks were ever mounted on V11 production bikes. Either Sachs-Boge or Öhlins. Maybe on the prototypes?

As always: :notworthy:

I know we all are getting dependent on computers more and more, but for Pete Roper's sake, who needs a MacBook for drilling holes in the airbox lid?

One of the best rock songs ever!

That very much looks like Belgium. I recognize the ugly building style

It's a great bike that handles beautifully and has plenty of real world power! I love the looks of the bike, but I'm 6'4" and sitting ON the bike and not IN the bike It felt a bit awkward (and it probably looked a bit awkward too :-) ) Furthermore, it has no wind/weather protection. You have to ride it yourself!

Didn't know you were fluent in Dutch! [emoji16]

Where the fun starts:

True. A little more ride height would have been nice.

Plan is to leave Saturday to do a week trip to the New Forest region with a visit to the V-twin rally in Fordingbridge afterwards. Can any of you (UK) members recommend campsites in that area? On my to-do list so far: Sammy Miller Museum, Beaulieu Motor Museum and the Bovington Tank Museum (I want to see all the Tamiya models I used to build in my teens in real life) If you have anymore touristic pointers, roads I need to ride, warnings or other helpful information I would be grateful!

What tire is it?

Should we rename this thread? F.i. What tire is it?

I 'm stiil convinced this one should be mine.

Ooooh, I finished mine years ago! Very nice!

Running Conti Road Attacks on my V11 and now on my 1200 Sport for ages. Great tyres. Also in the wet.

Oh,the guy looking at it at the workshop told me the pushrod was OK too,I forgot to mention that.Do you know what could have caused those bad clearances on that bike you saw?From what I remember it was a case of an extremely worn pushrod. So it must have been a production problem. The bike was almost new

Hoping for the above but it could also be a bad pushrod. I've seen a 2005 Cafe Sport once with similar clearances

Almost all on Guzzis are plain metric bolts and nuts. Just buy some different sizes at your local hardware store for little money and try.
