Oo, good shout. Felt like a salmon jumping up a stream the number of bears out down there.

Sorry to miss you.

Now is that calling it ugly as in Count Dracular or great as in Spectacular? Hey, it works for me so who cares. And there is a thumbs up.

See http://www.northwestbikers.net/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=522for details of Thursdays run.

I changed out the whole kit and caboodle. See http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=17811&hl=cabernet Not quite sure where you are, but I plan to be at the Newcott chippy, by "Lynn Ravens" café on Pree's Heath on Thursday evening sometime between 19:30 and 20:30 on the V11. If you want to come and snoop around a bit, fill your boots.

I went to a Pazzo distributor on the V11 and he identified a Ducati system and I rode away with them on the bike. I went for a red/black combination, the red matching the footrest hangers and now my clock mount too. The Pazzo rest easier in the hand giving a crisper, cleaner feel adding to finesse in control, particularly the clutch.

There was a bad batch of the spacers that fit between the beatings inner race. If you are regularly doing rear bearings, try a new spacer.

I wouldn't dare do that.

Started out with Bridgestone BT014/023 combination. Got offered some Pirelli's cheap when having just got a second set of wheels. Found them better. Just switched to Mich RoadPilot II. Only done a shake down ride and Trackday on them so far, but they install the most confidence of the three mentioned.

Just do away with the whole lot. I have. http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=17811&hl=dash&do=findComment&comment=189322

With the odometer being unreliable, the rev counter misting up, I changed out the lot for a TransLogic micro dash which has a voltmeter and temperature gauge.

I have only seen the oil light flicker up once. That was at tick over once the big end had already gone. Even in that state at 2,500 rpm the oil light would go out.

Is there not a funny spacer spigot thing that would necessitate bearing removal to reverse.

That is my understanding too.

Yeah, mine was off the road 16 months. Mind you, I have got very acquainted with my 750 Breva. Using the BMW rider knock back of, "Perhaps, but my Guzzi has pert tits", the Breva has a pair of fried eggs compared to the voluptuous V11, but they still do a fine job and are more practical in every day life.

That's the one I fitted.

Or graft two BMW cylinders and fifty vertical one making a 5/8 radial.

Basically, you have to split the engine from the gearbox to get in to the clutch housing, to release the crank out the block, so "no" as you expected.

Meh! Kinda sole that phrase from the caravaners and camperers They have a battery in the car or in the van part of the camper, then have a secondary battery for lighting and alike in the living area when the caravan or camper is parked up. Those batteries are of the deep drain type, designed to be run to full discharge and re-charge repeatedly. I used to work in oil refining and some of the systems had battery back ups which had similar qualities only more compact.

You only need the spring. Any worth while break down service will have the tools. Some silicon gasket goo might be a good plan too.

My 2001 BMWR850R was non ABS, but had the compartment for it. Made a great storage place for a leisure battery. This would charge when I was riding but was isolated from the bike by a relay on the oil warning circuit. Therefore you could run the leisure battery flat and still have the bikes battery for starting.

I have Klan socks, fleece and gloves. Rarely use them. To much of a faff for our climate. Heated wrap around grips. The Klan stuff is good, I just can't be bothered with it.
