Greetings! Last week I got really lucky. After looking for a motorcycle for over a year and a half with no specific model in mind, I came across a really nice example of the 2001 V11 Sport Rosso Mandello. With a little over 4000 miles, good service history records, and a reasonable asking price, I was sold. I am looking forward to getting the bike sorted out this week and hoping for some good riding weather. I am in Denver, Colorado. Thank you for providing this forum!

I have the preselector removed from my bike and ready to ship. It is in perfect working order. It is currrently on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/163655856298

Welcome! BTW we never get tired of Rosso Mandello pics!

Hi , thank you for confirming the age of your gear box and taking the time to check your gearbox . It has been very helpful and you have confirmed that the dogs in mine are not correct , and the gear box will have to come out and go back to be stripped back down to replace them . Its frustrating as the wether has picked up hear and I had got it ready for an mot, and I guess I’m looking at 2 months at least before this is sorted !! I will keep you all updated with progress. Thanks again , kind regards Tony

Thanks Scud, I have a new single plate hub so I know what the rim you are talking about is and I dont think its an issue. I would take a dual plate hub and get it surface ground back to the correct width with a bevel on the fwd face of the teeth.

Molto belle!!! 😉

I ran across this post on the recall from 2004 with a helpful image: https://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1916-v11-recall/&do=findComment&comment=17900

I know we've discussed bike lifts before, but some things bear repeating . . .

Uh, have you ever tried to tune Dellortos? Nope never messed with Dells. But I have had some good experience with Webers on an Italian V12 or two not to mention Porsche and the older style Weber IDA's on an AC Cobra with the 427 side oiler of which was a major pain in the tush. As for motorcycles I mainly messed with a few sets of Keihin on my Old 78 Honda CBX's that had some work done on them with cams along with a D&D race exhaust and the Dyna S ignition system or to say just a tune up. And of course the old Mikuni carbs on the older bikes. Mainly going from the 28MM on the Z1 900 to the 29MM that came out on the J model 1000 and then tossed it for a Turbo and a Holley 650 under the seat. . So yes I used to be and still am a little bit of one of those guys on one wheel with their hair on fire. Back to the topic. With some help with the good people of this forum I might be able to overcome my O knowledge of electronic stuff and be dragged into at least what makes the V11 run. But those Mikuni flat slides sure do grab at me lol.
