Those apex ones look really nice. Has anyone fitted these tommasellis? http://www.discovolantemoto.co.uk/tommaselli-multi-adjustable-clipons-459-p.asp Or there's the tarozzi set with risers? http://www.discovolantemoto.co.uk/tarozzi-adjustable-clipons-semi-high-454-p.asp Stew

Hi Antonio, is this noise exhibiting when you're moving off from standstill? Stew

Heh! Mazel tov!!

Yes, mine. 04 ballallabillio. Billalbo... Ballallubo... Tsk

Anyone else look straight up her arse and think "hmmm... That's off some.." ?

Also tried to 'shim' the rear plastics up to make the cowl look like it's designed to fit. Didn't work.

I had a twiddle with my steering damper...

I've had zero problems with my gs/yuasa battery.

Hey up lucydad, this forum's fantabulous. And rightly so! V11's are lovely bikes... Do you own any spanners?

0r an hour or so's careful, patient work with a fresh hacksaw? Which could be less brutal than firing heat everywhere and smashing your bike about with a lump o iron? That's been my final resort on various metallic probs anyway. A good, sharp, small cold chisel to compliment the hacksaw and finish the job is often useful too. Best of luck with it. Stew

Heh! Mine fell off last year- been riding without it since. Damn potholes.... impossible to set suspension to accommodate these roads

Was it due to using the heavy red line oil?

Hi, did you manage to sort your gear box leak then? And Happy Birthday man!

Wow, nice one roy! A mini, laminated printout tucked under the seat could be invaluable

You could stash a couple of chinese folding fans up your sleeves? Whip em out at the lights and give the heads a flutter.

And if so- moly?

Wouldn't it be the inserts that needed a squirt?

Cleaned her arse-end somewhat. Bought an earthing strap for the regulator. Brought the instruments back on line after hitting a bad pothole shook summit loose. Ignored the slow weep from the upper sump..

Its a pig of a job... I initially thought as i wrestled the wheel out, got filthy and whacked my grimy knuckles on the swingarm for the umpteenth time... Then, once I'd wiped down all the areas accessable with the rear wheel out, cleaned and checked the caliper, given the front shaft nipple a pump or three (sooo satisfying), greased the bevel needle bearing and shaft splines, looked at the torque rod- all clean with lovely new rod ends fitted... I thought: It was damn worth it.

This is one job that keeps slipping my mind... Right! I'm doin it tomo! Cheers for the reminder Roy!

Would this be for easing strain on the bevel system/driveline? Or avoiding handling issues? I ask as I've not felt any detriment in handling since fitting the RP unit. Plus, why are all the aftermarket ones 'solid' links? As docc says- won't the suspension (and cush??) absorb shocks?

So the cushioning effect of the OE arms bushings is necessary? I've got a rossopuro on my bike too and am just about to replace the rose joints for the first time. I did think that it's a lot of force slamming thru these rod ends on acceleration and braking- the bearing supplier I use mentioned that it may be possible to get 'racing spec' or heavy duty joints for more longevity. When the rod ends started to wear it manifested in the dreaded rear end 'clunking' sound as the bevel box rotated.

Would it be possible to cut/chop out the old bushings and press a couple of spherical plain bearings in i wonder?

They look great in silver. Black's lovely too. Always liked the green ones as well.... Heck they're all pretty! Soaking the peg in wd40 or 3-in-1 over-night could free it off, and give the rear caliper a damn good strip n clean.

Mine went haywire last year- when i took the clocks out i found badly frayed and virtually severed cables. Never got to the bottom of why they were in such a surprisingly bad state. The speedo drive went soon after so i junked the lot and fitted an after-market unit which has been fine.
