Congrats, John. That is one bad mofo. Dorcia just had a look and said, "I can see Bev on the back of that.."

The rule of thumb is at 7500 feet, full throttle will give you 75% power.

That is the issue that this switch was designed to fix. The old float type switches would cry wolf and blink on and off incessantly. They were a nuisance, and many if not most people unhooked them.

Ooh, that's not gonna buff out..

Welcome to the best knowledge base on the V11S on the planet, Flooky..

Possible. I was coming home from Florida on the Centauro one time, and after a fuel stop it just wouldn't idle. Nothing below 1500 or so. By the time I got to Tennessee or so, it was back to normal. Got a load one time going to California that made Harley Bob's hawg run *really* bad. The Big Guzzi filter stopped that one.. it was probably just dirt.
-
So far, so good..

I'm not so sure. I talked to a guy at the Wisconsin rally that said he was on flywheel number 3. The most he'd ever gotten out of one was 16K miles.

I couldn't have said it better, Phil..

Look at em. Are they worn out? (Yes) Fall on sword. (No) Yay! Spooge em up, put back together forget about it for a while.
-
Not as far as I know.. but you never know who's been in there on an old bike.
-
Wow! I've never seen them that tight..

Bastard. It was 60F today, going down to 13 tonight. Oh. And raining while it can. And blowing 20 gusting to 35.
-
Oh yeah, the prep is what it is all about. It can be a Zen thing if you do it right. Add beer, if necessary.
-
For sure, cycling the injectors off and on several times without starting it will make the throttle bodies leak at the shaft.
-
Very seldom will a liquid solution fix a mechanical problem. Nope, it's not the pawl spring. It *could* be the return spring, but as others have said, it's probably just a linkage issue.
-
Nice. I love doing that kind of stuff.. or at least I used to when I had my temporary paint booth for 15 years or so.
-
Looks like paradise..
-
Good point, Jaap..
-
I wish. That guy is above my skill, tooling, and financial level by a fair amount. Back in the day, if memory serves, I could have built a NorVin with repopped Austrian powerplant and Norton frame for 20K or so. Of course, that was real money then, and I was seriously into building airplanes. Shoulda tried.. that is the koolest motorcycle engine ever built IMHO.

Talk to Mike Rich..

I'd almost forgotten. When we built the house, one of my "demands" was a grease pit in the garage.. -

Wish I had your energy, Scud.. I detest beating on automotive crap. Speaking of that.. where's the hammer? Nice work, though. -
Ok, like czakky said.. that is most likely the two bullet connectors on the left side of the steering head. It's 18 freakin years old, and they are probably corroded. Take the tank off, pull them apart, squirt em with some DeOxit, put em together, wiggle them around.. oh, you know..
