So excuse my ignorance, or rather laziness in sorting thru a lot of threads to determine, but what year(s) of V11 does this fit?

You guessed it, a little bit of both. Red Line Marinara seasoned with Italian Gootsie blood.

I'm in. Looking forward to meeting all you characters.

I expect the prices will be rather stimulating for those without deep, deep pockets. Just my guess. After all, motorbikes are a pure luxury item. However, I never looked at them that way, they are necessary for my existence

Oh, by the way, based on RTV job on the selector box cover, I could safely say this "CHUCK/SCUD spring" is at least the 3rd spring to go into this bike, to include original. I imagine the guy I bought it from had problems around 18,000 miles and had to pay the shop to fix. Once that was done (paying Northern VA shop prices) he was likely motivated to deal on his asking price. Just my guess. I will forever love this bike, it is the most fun to ride of all the bikes I had. I'd be willing to put another 10 springs in it if I had to, but that will be highly unlikely with the perfection that you guys have engineered/manufactured here.

Broke side cover down, this is what I found. Chuck and Scudd's spring installed. Everything checks out, hand worked the edge where the spring contacted selector so its rounded edge. Really excited to get her back on the road, been missing this bike since it went down. Boss on selector checked out at 14.91 mm. Guess the 2002 with 2500 miles will get same treatment when it arrives.

If I give up the tickets for Barber in Oct due to this virus, I may show in Tenn. because I am definitely bored to death and over this upper 90's heat!

I like the way you think!

Working with a freind to close deal on an almost "new" 2002 V11 LeMans. This will join my 2003 V11 (currently in garage with broken pawl return spring) and is my 4th MG. As I understand it was a part of collector's portfolio that was auctioned off, bought by a dealer and resold. Had 3 miles on it when purchased, current owner has about 2500 miles on odo now. It is all stock except for the handle bar risers and rear rack. Excited, waiting for DMV to get title squared away, send check to owner and have shipper to pick up in next few weeks. It is essentially in new condition. (Gonna have to hide this one from the wife out in the back garage as she already put the subtle kibosh on any more motorbikes) Despite being an endless tinker/modifier, I plan to keep this one just as she is, stock.

ODO is km now but converting prior miles I come up with total of 25,906 miles. Very likely the 2nd pawl spring but have no way of knowing for sure.

Just broke my shift selector spring pulling into the driveway after scorching about 100 plus miles of winding mountain back roads. Life is good! Money and tip on the way SCUD for 2 pawl springs please.

Interesting, not available in the US. They want to squeeze us for every penny they can. Sorry to hear your V11 is SORN but at least there's a bright side in the pocketbook. Hope you can return to the road as soon as this virus is past.

OK, I won't. Maybe just overly optimistic... Any suggestions or advice?

After changing exhaust gaskets I used these (Docc) guidelines to retune my 03 V11. Old exhaust gasket leaks (at the front crossover) definitely contributed to my 3-4K rpm cough. After replacement it was better but had returned albeit a weaker "spit". After removing and cleaning the air bleed screws (very sooty) and rebalancing the throttle bodies and then a test run of 60km this morning .... at long last problem resolved. All in all I found it to be an amazingly simple fix. The bike has never run better (since I purchased 7 years ago). All smiles here (and I saved some bank $$$). Thanks to Docc and the rest of the contributing forum members! Happy miles to all

Throttle Meister's, plus you get cruise control for those long trips. Have on all my bikes, love them. https://ridermagazine.com/2011/09/14/throttlemeister/

As researched previously here on V11 site for issues with a 3000 RPM spit/cough thru left side intake, I decided this the best avenue to chase this steadily worsening condition. I completed removal of exhaust system, headers back to mufflers. As part of the process. I cleaned all SS with Barkeeper's Friend cleaner/polish, inspected weld joints, Loctite'd fasteners on hangers and reassembled using new "metal-icized" exhaust gaskets from MG Cycle. As you can see in picture I have the crossover in system just in front of the alternator cover. Using care during reassembly to preclude any new leaks, and leaving everything slightly loose to obtain best fit and maintain clearances with the engine and frame, I completed reassembly without any issues. After a test ride of about 45 minutes I was able to confirm that the exhaust leaks were the cause of the 3000 RPM cough/spit I had experienced over the last year or so. Thanks to the various topics posted on this forum, I am glad to report that my red stallion has returned to the road in excellent running condition. (As a side note, after much disappointing experience with speedo/tach service with Seattle Speedo, and being scammed for $587.76, I replaced my speedo with a new KPH unit from LMT and can again track speed and mileage to maintain scheduled maintenance intervals).

Wow, kinda like that nicely endowed waitress wearing a low slung v-neck sweater who leans over the table while putting her head in her hands while resting her elbows on the table top. total tease.

Great video, awesome song, one of my favorites too Scud!

Well I made the colossal mistake of not researching reputable speedo/odo restorers. Sent mine to Seattle Speedo, total scam. Got suckered for just under 600 clams, guess I am lucky that's my first time giving away money via internet. Don't use this guy, mine came back all f--ked up! Cracked faceplate (over tightened screws), speedo goes to 30mph max, faceplate came off of tach during install, original road dirt outside, his shop dirt and scratches inside, on and on. You can read my Google review of his services online. Sad.

Cool, I got it. Thanks a lot. I carted this cable setup, tried to checkout, made it all the way to credit card number etc, hit finish and viola, nothing. Ya gotta laugh! Gonna call them instead.

80CX100: Yeah, have been trying for a few days. I'll try again to look at their site and then call. I like to have a rough idea (pic and description) of what they are sending me. Really appreciate the feedback, I know this topic thread goes back many years and am never sure how available these vendors may be. Safe riding. Tom
