Glad that's all cleared up! The first time I removed it it gave way with a right crack. I'm used to removing the whole shebang now but as that bolt is usually quite tight it's starting to damage the head where the hex key sometimes slips.

"..bolt in question is not removed during a tire change.." Are you sure? I can't imagine how I'd get the wheel out with the hanger in place... Will it pivot out the way when the axle is removed?

No gaskets fitted to mine either.... should there be?

Mine recently started catching a bit again around 2,750. I happened to take the headers off to rub 'em back + shine them up. When replaced the problem was gone. Perhaps they weren't nipped up good previously?

Cool. We like Stable and Predictable. Still waiting for mine but thanks to pasotibbs (who does own a duc paso- lucky fellow) I've been hooning around on his old sachs unit. We've had some lovely days so far this summer so I'm a most grateful egg.

I wonder has anyone got a copy of Guzziology? I'd have thought there would be info on this subject in there. Stew

Final post on this: My neutral light now functions as it should (Until now it was reversed somehow - 'on' when in gear and 'off' when in neutral). Big Thanks go out to Stuarto49 who showed powerful tenacity and dauntless spirit whilst talking me through the installation over the phone. Cheers Stuart! Some confusion arose until we realised his v11 is a 2001 model and mine's an '04- there seem to be a few wiring differences! So we wired a relay into the neutral circuit. Below are the details of how it is connected. (Originally used a 5 pin relay but I wondered if it works on a 4 pin and it does). Relay Connect to ------------------------- 85 12v ignition 86 Loom neutral (Purple) 87 Ground (Black) 30 Koso neutral (Purple) Hey presto!

Heh! Yea, website looks great, like a v11; but functions crap, like a v11 with dicky fueling. The shop is at www.officinerossopuro.com. Like I said: Italian speakers will have nay probs here but if you scroll down to 'Menu per Modello' there is a tab to click for V11 sport. You will then be greeted with the heading, in English: 'Our wonderful products', followed by a table of photo-less tabs and a sidebar in Luigispeak. Good Luck! Bella! Chianti!! Errr ... Aiutare! x

Low fuel light now mounted at rear of headlight:

Cheers Stu, I'm just off to work but I'll have a gander when back this afternoon.

Did you search the 'Officine Rossopuro Shop'? Admittedly, you'd need a grasp of Italiano....

Heh! Sensor mount is simple and well designed- just like me. Would a 5-pin relay such as the type fitted under the bikes seat work in this instance? I've got half a dozen spares lying about... Or I found this locally: http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/12v5a-miniature-relay-fj43w

I've messaged the supplier, no suggestions from them as yet. Solid state relay eh? Tell me more! Here's latest pix of the sensor mount and gauge re-location program:

Cheers Stuart, any pointers gratefully received. Edit: It was the wrong ignition wire- it's Green/black, not Green. Also realised it needed a separate wire run to the battery... What a dope I am. Just the wonky neutral to sort now.

Yes, a mate said maybe contact the manufacturer about it. The speedo feels to be under-reading but that's just my arse-on-the-bike sensor- I don't know for sure yet. Poss the revs too... hmmmmmm

Unfortunately, there's no info I can find on the neutral light signal or troubleshooting. In theory it still does the job... when it's off I know I'm in neutral! Bit unnerving to see the wee green 'N' winking at me whilst moving though. I'd like to get it sorted obviously. I used all 6 magnets as the instructions state: "... Higher number of magnets installed will result in a faster speed display on the gauge." I can't compare to using less, but it does read nice and quick. I've just cut a sensor bracket out of a piece of ally, another little snag sorted. I also mounted the speedo off to one side and it looks much better in my opinion. One more snag is the fuel light. At the moment it's tucked away with all it's wiry buddies in the headlight. One thought I had was to drill a (nother) hole in the bucket, maybe at the top or rear, and mount the light there. Like an informative barnacle. Either that or get used to peering into the tank regularly!

So the full (edited!) wiring details are as follows: Function V11 wire to Koso wire --------------------------------------------------- Turn L Pink Blue H/Beam Brown Yellow Turn R Green Orange Oil Blue/Black Grey Neutral Purple Purple Fuel White/Yellow Dark Green (Not used) Positive Battery + Red Ground Black Black Ignition Green/Black Brown RPM wire Yellow/Black Blue/Yellow The revs are set to 'Hi Active' on the unit settings for correct functioning (Whatever that means). Wheelbase measured at around 1858mm. I've not had the opportunity to validate the measured speed as yet... One problem I do have is that the neutral light is 'on' when in gear, and 'off; when in neutral. I'd love it if someone who knew about electrics could enlighten me as to why this may be occurring.

Stage 2 reached : Unit came with 6 magnets so I used them all. I found some 'Super Steel' epoxy and attached to the disc mounting bolts: I copied Stuarto49's idea for mounting the sensor off a plate attached to a hole drilled thru the caliper mount. The pic shows a temporary plastic plate- the final one will be cut out of a bit of metal: Here's a pic of first wire-up following a good, hard crimping sesh: Another temporary measure! This is the ignition hook-up wire, traced back from the key switch to the 4-way connector that sits behind the front left edge of the pekky tank. It'll want splicing in properly to finish: Another view of both ends of the crimps. Can also see where I've cut 2 new holes in the bottom of the headlight bucket and lined with grommets to allow me to hide the wires in there: All tucked away: A shot of the new unit in place, using the original mount. I'm not 100% pleased with the location yet- it kinda fouls the key somewhat and the key fouls the selection buttons. Probably will make a whole new mount up at a later date for best placement:

Hooray my replacement clock has arrived. I'll take pics + document the fit just in case it's useful for anyone else. So, old clocks are now removed, including speedo cable which was severed at the yolk-end right where that wicked bend lies. When I unscrewed the end at the tranny, it released a good amount of rain water which I assume wasn't helping the longevity of the cable. Plus, at the back of the clocks, one speedo wire and two tacho wires were severed... who knows why, but that'll be the flickering lights then eh? The wiring colours on my bike differ from the previous threads I've read, so here's my bike's colour-scheme: PINK - TURN R BROWN - H/BEAM GREEN - TURN L BLACK/BLUE - OIL PURPLE - NEUTRAL WHITE/YELLOW - FUEL As I've the Ballabio handlebars, yet have a sport headlight fitted, the front end looks kinda empty without the OE clocks. The new unit is reet cool + compact looking so I'm wondering how best to fit it, aesthetically. It has a fuel meter like the other Koso units; as no-one seems able to hook them up to our beautiful, desirable beasts, I'm thinking of maybe retaining the fuel light and mounting it separately off to one side. Tomorrow I start the installation and amateur fotograffy. Stew

When first I got my V11, I had a (bad) habit of giving her a little throttle when starting her up... Eventually I found out that this was causing some sort of back-pressure-pulse, putting strain on the boots/clips and causing them too eventually pop off. At least, that's what I thought was happening.... I don't do it anymore and my boots stay put. Thought I'd share... Stew

Nice one Stuart, I'm almost looking forward to pretending to be an 'trician now. I'm going to need a round back-box or cup, whatever, to fit my unit... Getting one that's something like could be difficult.

Yes, ignition switch- isn't it normally fitted with a 10a fuse?? A couple of the the Clever Electrickery Eggs'll be along to enlighten you soon enough. Sounds like you disturbed a lot of the wiring etc, might be worth going through it and checking nothing's pinched or come loose? Stew

See you went for the GT over the ST- probably a good move. Profile looks ok, no? Could you post a pic looking at the back of the bike when it's fitted?

Do cheeky buggers pinch fuel these days? I remember it once was a concern for lockless pekky-tanks.

My 180 avon took some cursing to fit... Loving that fat behind though!
