fotoguzzi Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 how did they ever get the battery under the tanks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Never seen that before! It looks nicely done and must be Lithium ion and all, but I can't imagine why anyone would want to make their battery that hard to get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldini Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Personally, wouldn't fancy battery in amongst all the fuel plumbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuzziMoto Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I would imagine putting the battery there was only possible because they removed the airbox. That poor bike, someone has spent considerable time and effort butchering it. I hope you can make it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 OK... MG never put the battery under the tank correct? next issue then is how the hell did it sit under the seat? mines in a steel cradle but this cafe shows no sign of one missing, are the air boxs the same as other v11's Need some help on the filters guys, should that breather be shoved up the pod like that? how does this effect the tuning? Like I said id runs like a bag a shit over 5k, needs to be sorted, who has a well tuned v11 with pod filters here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuzziMoto Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 No, MG did not put your battery there. They could not have, I would think, as the airbox was there. All V11's used the same airbox. Earlier spine frame bikes had at least a couple versions of airbox. But the V11's were the same in that regard. I assume the breather was shoved up the pod filter to try and replicate the way the breather vented to the airbox originally. Pretty half-assed if you ask me. The battery should sit right under the seat in a tray, above the shock. In my opinion your best bet would be to find the parts required to put it back to stock, at least as far as the airbox and battery location go. From there you are at a known baseline where you know it should run well. Then you can do the basic tune/set up tasks, valves, TPS, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's essentially the same bike Yeah so today I dug it out and noted that the batery sits in a bolt on cradle which has been removed from the cafe sport and also noted how the air box was placed, I was mixing up my 1100 sport with the v11 so a look reminded me. anyway... no one has offered advice as to why this bike missis badley over 5000rpm bad batt un tuned pod filters other?
