    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!

    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
  11. Admin Jaap
    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.

    Hahaha, I shared this pic on my favorite Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/95218296813

    FWIW, my original V11 clutch fitted w/o problems to the Centauro engine. So vice versa must be the case also.
  16. Admin Jaap
    Another culprit could be the starter solenoid. It died twice on me already.

    FWIW, the dash on my 1200 sport sais 11.8v too, but it starts w/o a problem. Check the blue 15A fuse.
  18. Admin Jaap
    I own a 1200 sport from new and have done about 25.000 kms now. Check the battery connections for corrosion and tightness. My 15A fuse went a couple of times and I have yet to find the culprit. Carry spares. Please keep in mind that imo the V11 handles much better. I had to do a lot of fiddling with the stock suspension to take it to an acceptable level. The grunt of the 1200 2valve engine makes up for everything. It never let me down. Love it, but keep in mind it's not a sportsbike!

    Thanks for the pics! Great stuff. Love that Panther sloper.
  20. Admin Jaap
    Sounds like you had a great time!

    I know for a fact that Guzzirider from 'Uddersfield has good experiences with Maxton

    Bearing sizes have all been mentioned in the 13 years this forum is online. A thorough search will get you all the info you need

    Admin Jaap replied to ferguzzi's topic in 24/7 V11

    Maybe this page gives some insight? http://www.mgcn.nl/mg-framenummers

    Duhhh. I feel stupid now. That is part of it. Thanks for the clue, I needed one! Engine is also off the center line , 13mm to the drive side ->right. -KG- AFAIK the V11 with the 6 speed gearbox has the engine in the middle. The older models with the 5 speed box are off with 13 mm. Sent from a clever thingy with a microprocessor and an interweb connection
