    I think the ones I have left are the lower mounts. Someone already bought the upper ones. I don't have a picture account so if you'd like pics, send your email address and I'll do some pics.

    Wanted 'damaged' V11 Ti Mufflers

    in Wanted

    Posted

    Foot,

    I have a pair of Ti mufflers. The right one is perfect with the connector pipe and the mounting strap. The left one is damaged; but I think the end cap could be removed and the dents rolled out. The connector pipe has rash on it, but usable, also has the strap in good condition. I'll send pics if you send your email address. Pics tomorrow.

    Foot,

    I guess I should have proofed my listing. I have one pair of high mounts that come with the Ti mufflers and one pair of mounts for the lower mounted mufflers. I think that's more clear.

    thanks,

    Bill

    Motratech (or other) dropped pegs likes/dislikes

    in Technical Topics

    Posted

    I've had lowered footpegs on 3 V11s. Motobits on my 03 Lemans, Motrabits on my Coppa, and Motrabits on my 03 Rosso Corsa. I liked the Motrabits the best for comfort. I am also fitting a set of adjustable clipons to the Rosso.

    The Motrabits are more expensive, but they are well made and have a good fit. If you do get them, pull the starter and the cylinder for the rear shock first thing.

    Troutman,

    I fitted a set of the Motobits foot controls on my 03 Lemans when I had it and found them to be more comfortable in the kneebend. I fitted a set of Motratech controls to my Coppa and found them to be even better as far as comfort. The Motratech set includes both brake and shift levers and everything required with appropriate proportioning as far as length and angles.

    Annoying Exhaust chirp with baffles removed

    in Technical Topics

    Posted

    I recently purchased a new pair of carbon fiber mufflers for my newly acquired Rosso Corse. I did not want to run it with the baffles installed. When removed, there was a chirp at idle and more pronounced when advancing the throttle. It was suggested for me to put the little clips back in place without the baffle. The noise was reduced, but it looked funny with the clip and no baffle.

     

    The chirp comes from the hole in the end of the pipe that holds the baffle clip. I eliminated my chirp by making a stainless ring 1/2" long with an ID the size of the OD of the pipe. Make it fairly snug, clean the ring and the outside of the pipe and put a thin coating of JB Weld around the inside of the ring and fit it over the end of the pipe till flush. Wipe away any excess. Put a little JB on the inside in the little cavity left by the hole. Let it harden, sand the inside if you have been a little generous with the JB. No more chirp.

     

    This is more or less permanent. You could figure another way of fitting the ring if you want to be able to install the baffles again. Also, this may not be an issue on the type of mufflers you have selected.

    Red Valve Cover needed

    in Wanted

    Does anyone have an undamaged red valve cover from a Rosso or Coppa that they would sell. I purchased a Rosso Corse that has been down on it's left side. The right side is perfect.

    V11 Oil Pressure Gauge, Best Practices?

    in Technical Topics

    Posted

    I have the Motratech oil pressure gauge setup on my Coppa. It is a well thought out setup that fits perfectly and has worked without any problems for 3 years. After reading about the red lights under acceleration, I questioned what sort of oil pressure I actually had. Mine runs about 60 psi when cold and 55-56 when hot. I also have a "Roper plate" installed.

    Rear monoshock woes

    in Technical Topics

    Posted

    My '03 Lemans rear shock has started to leak oil. 5800 miles.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Can it be rebuilt? If so, by whom?

    Anyone have an extra one laying around?

    Cannot afford the $1200 plus shipping/taxes for an Ohlins, if I can even get one.

    What Is there a difference between 46hrcs Ohlins and the MG specific (supposedly no longer available) MG 127?

    Any advice/recommendations appreciated!

     

    I have a good used spare one, complete from a low mileage 03 Lemans. $275 plus shipping. Let me know if you don't come up with a better alternative.

    Green O Ring in the Oil Lines to the Oil Cooler

    in How to...

    Posted

    Bill,

    I had black orings with a different part number for that. Assuming you mean the tubes inside the pan that connect the oil filter assembly to the pan. But I'll check my parts list and diagram again when I go home.

     

    !Thanks!

    Scott

     

    Scott,

    If you drop the oil pan without taking off the line on the rear, that is where the green o ring goes, Undo the fitting and slide the tube out of the fitting, now you can take the pan away from the bike and clean it out. Look at the projecting tube that slides into the fitting and you'll see either the green o ring or the groove that it's supposed to be in. Use a little grease or oil so it doesn't get damaged when assembling.

    Bill
