Hello V11 Forum, I run an old T3 Moto Guzzi which is in renovation now, this is my first post, thanks for having me here. I have been reading the posts on the V11 six speed problem with much interest, as I plan this motorcycle to be my next. I would like to participate in finding a solution for this problem. I have found that walk-through tutorials are hard to find, I hope to read one soon. I would like to ask a few tech questions and suggest a thing or two in the interest of research. Could the false neutral problem be related to "carry on" of the shift drum, where it rotates beyond where it should stop by some system of detent? I ask this question to try to address why this often happens more when the transmission is hot. Maybe thinner oil allows the drum to carry further because the oil is less viscous, adding less braking effect. I assume that, being a six speed, the shift drum is crowded with shift fork program grooves and less rotation causes more shift fork movement. I would think that this would give the transmission a quicker action. But if this is true, I could see how detent action would be more critical in the positioning of the shift forks. I would think that shimming of the drum would be crucial as well. If detent action to accurately position the shift drum is a contributing factor, could the detents be made to act more positively? Thanks in advance for putting up with noob questions. If I don't buy a V11 Lemans, I'll remain a noob but I'm willing to give it a shot.
