lilapsophobia .... hurricanes zymocenosilicaphobia.... empty beer glass I couldn't find anything regarding fear of broken motorcycle

looks like we can slip in a SSR between hurricanes. Hunker down Docc.

"seems to be getting fuel" that's where I'd start. squirt something into the intake and see what happens. the smallest amount of starting fluid should fire it. If not then timing would be my next look

this is awesome CT. I'm electricity challenged, so I will be following developments on this with interest!

Bonneville America.

Usually people unfamiliar with Guzzi's, let alone the spine frames, ask "what sort of bike is that? I use the phrase 'Gentleman's sport bike' often to convey a brief description of the riding style it offers. "Sport bike" alone, infers a replica racer, laden with technical tricks and horsepower, ridden by the young and invincible at frightening speeds. Add 'gentleman' to the description and folks tend to nod with approval. "I enjoy spirited riding but have reached a state of maturity which no longer requires the testing of limits." They can see fairly quickly I'm no gentleman.

I like this. You care for it. You 'play' it, and it makes beautiful music. But, you have to keep practicing.

and GB is for Great Britain so.... a place and event in one name!

Hail Steadman!

Not Necessarily, But when using the OE clip-ons there is a tapped thread in the upper TC for use with the locator screw. This screw also may prevent the bars from swiveling away from their located position and of course, looks stock. I have read that considering the OE clip-ons only use one clamp bolt, it might not be a bad idea to use that screw as well to insure they stay put. The MPH risers allow you to raise the OE bars, What I'm trying to do here is replace the riser bar setup that was fitted from the factory with the other models stock clip-ons so they won't be much use to me, sorry if that was unclear. If this search doesn't pan out, I'll probably go with a set of Tommaselli's or Woodcrafts, but I want to see whats out there first. BUMP! yeah, I'm trackin' what you want to do. just sayin you'll like the oem clip on riding position on the spine frame. The stockers have a nice anti-vibe design inside the bars too. hope you can find that setup.

that your GB Docc? Nic's V7? Sweet 'event'

Do you have to swap upper clamp to use clip-ons? No doubt you want to plug the holes. I wonder how much extra cabling you might have. I have never ridden a "handlebar" Sport, but the clip-ons are really nicely positioned. I had MPH risers ordered for so long (waiting on mfg) that by the time I got them, I had changed my mind on using them.

Cdogger said... "UPDATE OK so I just replaced the front brake switch and figured out that the switch actuator (little black plastic cylinder) had gotten smooshed (probably from an impact on that lever from my aunt running into the garage before I got the bike) and wasn't hitting the switch. Both switches work now. Here's the important part." So, I just replaced my fr brake micro switch and it stuck "on". I cleaned everything and still "brake lite on". I recalled what lowryter said re "loosen and move switch" which I did. Now it works fine. Move it as far to the right as you can. Also... Cdogger mentions a "little black plastic cylinder" which also came with my new Brembo micro switch. I can't find a place for it. Maybe for a different bike? Anyone know where it goes? About 3/16"X3/16" cyl

is that photo good enough for swoosh to turn green?

Price: While looking for myself, I have found several '00-'01 silver Sports (nationwide) in the range of 3500-5500, over the past year. That one is about the highest priced, but lowest miles I've seen tho that price wouldn't scare me away. The key here for me would be inspection. For that price I want to see it up close to confirm the mileage, and the condition. You have at least 1 tank and 1 fairing you can sell for recoup$. The Veglia gauges .. well .. sometimes fall apart. You'll have to search the forum for fixes, but replacement http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19038&hl=speedhut (photos held hostage) Docc has a great Speedhut gauge replacement thread and I can't find it! 20 mi from home HAS value! (I hope we can see better photos with that LM fairing!) I like silver bikes

Beautiful LeMans, Mitozzz. welcome to the forum. There is much valuable information to be found here, to keep the Guzzi running optimally. I for one, would like to see plenty of pictures of your bike, on your favorite local roads and countryside. Video is especially welcome. Saint Petersburg is a beautiful city and one I would love to see in person.

this is a good idea nobleswood. I'd like to get a feel for the way to do it too.

kick me when you see me at ssr please . cable #3 just ordered

thanks, kit on the way!

Yeah, mon: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19641 And must have the correct cables: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19612&p=213372 ok, sorry.. my question didn't come out too good. I know I must hook to the ecu to use it. I'm a bit confused with what I've downloaded so far. It doesn't seem like it's all there. It doesn't look like the screen I saw last year (Dan's?) I will wait till the cables get here (just ordered) , connect, and see what I have.

this can't be right. I clicked on "measurements" and a screen opened over the toolbar. I can't do anything with it now. Can't even close it. Does it need to be hooked up to work?

I "think" I just downloaded it. It took less than a second, is 159kb and only occupies less than a quarter of my screen... down in the corner. no apparent way to enlarge it. doesn't seem quite right. ?? I'll certainly bring the laptop if I have the software right.

Oh absolutely. I want to be sure this setup works well enough before I bother everyone with details. I get a good nice long ride in, and I'll put the particulars here http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19827

@czakky.. I have several parts left from my "alternate" to pawl arm spring project. If you want to give it a shot, I'll send you what I have and a list of what I don't have to complete this as I did it. This evening I got the last pieces on and all the fluids in. Very short ride around the block. It all seems to be working. Smell of baking motor paint is abundant. The shifting is very nice with the LuckyChuck arm in. The extension spring on the shift pawl arm is working. The RAM clutch is a Very light pull. 1 finger will do it. Shake down this weekend!
