Who knew the timing chain could throw so much oil through such a small gap? At any rate, that's the last "known" problem which I hope to resolve this week and then proceed (yet again) with the formal shake down period. I will admit that the larger rake of the 1996 frame feels weird on this bike. It ought to feel just like the Sport 1100i, but it doesn't. I'll have to take some wheelbase and rear ride height measurements and compare those with the Sport 1100i to see if fitting the six speed transmission into the earlier frame is the difference. Or it could be that this frame is even shorter than the early V11 Sport ones, but that's doubtful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard100t Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 Beautiful weather here today :!: I just put a hundred miles on the bike. It now has about 800 miles on it. The bike is getting smoother/quieter better. I'm starting to get the thing :!: Now I'm getting the fever lol I want a Maund seat, Mistral pipes, or Termi's if I can afford em. I neeeed these chrome rims with anodized spokes the same red as my tank. That & a few other things & I'll be set lol. Btw I ordered a Dainese TH1 leather jacket, anyone have any experience with dainese jackets? They seem like the best so thats what I got. Oh I also got these Icon TiMax gloves & they are very nice....lots of titanium plates on the knuckles. I call em my Darth Vader gloves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
