Maybe docc he means the header link pipe? CO set at zero isnt right either is it docc? Ciao

Just thought, Ford has made quite a few good engines, 429 The Cosworth/Ford DFV. I know not strictly a Ford the DFV but they financed it and owned it so us Ford guys can claim it surely:) Ciao

Please define "best" Ciao

Adjusting the shift lever down probably wont help as the lever will hit the pork chop. What you need now is this. Ciao

Or you can just get off the side of the bike more in corners which will allows the bike to turn with less lean angle. Ciao

I do know docc that the V11 stand bracket has the additional 6mm bolt securing it to the sump extension. Daytonas dont have this and I suspect the 1100 Sports dont either because they weren't fitted with the wide sump. If you fit an aftermarket extended sump then you cant use this smaller bolt. Paul Minnaert runs his bike with the std Daytona stand bracket and extended sump from memory. Paul might like to chime in with details. Ciao

September 2000. Ciao

These sort of cheap arsed snake oil products have been around for nearly as long as EFI. There's probably a placebo effect involved here somewhere. Ciao

I dont think the red on my 2000 greenie is in great shape. It looks dull and semi faded and its only done 42000 klms and I've garaged it for the last 9 years. It was like this when I bought it in fact. I was going to repaint it when I fit the new engine. Ciao

No Chuck, you created a launching pad Ciao

I call the V11 "the Guzzi" but I prefer acronyms. My runabout car used for collecting stuff from the hardware and I spend zero money on is the LSB. Any guesses out there on what LSB is? Clue......its not a large car. Ciao

There was a factory centre stand for the V11 but you rarely see one for sale and when you do they want good money for them. I think they also had interference issues with the exhaust collector from memory. The major problem with the V11 with regards to shorter riders is more the seat width than the height I think. Others might have better perspective though as I'm 6'2'' tall. Ciao

If you want to hear the best version of Romeo and Juliet ever with Chris White on the sax absolutely nailing the solo with Eric Clapton playing as well check this out. Amazing! Ciao

I'm a massive MK fan, have been since the late 70's when Dire Straits Sultans of Swing went to #1 here in Australia before anywhere else in the world. Love his post DS stuff even more. Ciao

Whats the source of the oil leak? The engine breaths into the spine frame and from there into the airbox. Any oil that ends up in the spine drains back to the rear of the sump via a line. Ciao

RUGBY:( not for us. Australian MotoGP Ciao

Ok thats a "roll" pin and is used to control over travel of the selector arm. On later transmissions its replaced by and adjustable eccentric pin. It's just a press fit in the cover. Why it came out I dont know, thats not a common event. I suggest you use some green Loctite on it if it comes out again. Have a look at my write up on the selector mechanism. Ciao

Which eccentric pin do you mean? Some gearboxes have 1 and some have 2 but in both cases they are retained by a nut on the outside of the selector cover. Ciao

Buy a RAM complete clutch assy from MGcycles in the states for around 600US. You can buy other clutch parts as well. Th RM uses the single plate clutch standard doesnt it? Failing that its Stein Dinse in Germany Ciao

There's no shimming on the 6 speed shafts apparently. I think there is on 5 speeds though. End float is controlled by the ball bearings on the aft end. Ciao

Thanks I'll check mine. Ciao

Oh really, I didn't notice any vent holes. Hope I haven't covered them in loctite. Ciao

What were the details? different forks early to late? or just different caps? Ciao
