Brian north Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Ok guys motor is knocking. I’m sick to my stomach. What’s this v11 worth now? Bike has 9046 miles and is in amazing condition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoguzzi Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Got pics? How about a video so we can hear the knocking? Maybe it's just a rattle? Normally a Guzzi big twin goes a lot more miles than yours without problems. Was it run with no oil or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian north Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 Had plenty of oil. It’s knocking hard not a rattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thumper Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Oil light on ? and when was the oil changed last ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Alright : drop the pan and check for metal in the pan and metal in the oil . Rotate the engine to where the rods are at the bottom of the crank and inspect the big ends of the rods ..... discoloration , stuff hanging out , loose on the c/shaft . Look up at the oil filter and see if it is loose or if the o-ring has spit out of the oil filter base . Report back . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 The knocking sound,is it a high pitched ding-ding-sound,like when you hit a nail on a metal-block with a hammer? That's the sound that came from my right cylinder head when the cam follower/followers where worn down about 3mm. I hope it's not the case.

Don G Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Check the valve lash, if you find it larger than normal perhaps a cam lobe is going round. DonG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Once again, someone comes here with a troublem looking to get rid of their V11 and, instead of throwing a bunch of low-ball offers at him, we all set to trying to help him fix it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 It sounds to me like lack of a Roper plate may have run the bottom end. At any rate, don't run it again without pulling the sump and seeing if that is the case. Have you done a lot of WFO acceleration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
