This axle is loose, so you'd better fix it, do not just close this hole. It's basically the same procedure as for the spring. Cover off, lower wheel off, axle out, clean shaft and hole. Then apply strong Loctite and put the axle back into its seat, wait half an hour, reassemble the rest and put the cover back on the housing. Don't forget to change the neutral switch.

Anyone have ideas on how to check fuel level sender and idiot light? Was wondering if you could apply some small voltage to the pins on the connector and make the lamp glow ? The idea sounds easier than stripping the fairing off to gain access to the instruments.....maybe not ? Or Ohm Meter the pins on the connector going into the harness.. after sitting under the overpass for awhile...I remembered Docc's bit about trapped fuel. Leaned it over to the left as far as I could hold it....after I recovered she fired up long enough to get off the slab and into the fuel station

yes there are rubbers in the rear drive on late model spiney's. I believe the early 1100 sport and sporti and Daytona maybe did not andy

If you want to clean and backflush your injectors, I could post a little kit to you. (so long as you send it back). The kit is a bit crude, but allows you to flush forward and reverse through the injectors. It can't help if you have worn or mismatched injectors, as mentioned by Luhbo. Those injector retaining screws were fitted with locktite so I drilled off the heads and then got new screws. https://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?/topic/18805-brand-new-scura/&do=findComment&comment=215317 https://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?/topic/20282-fuel-injector-cleaner-yea-or-nea/&do=findComment&comment=229694

I don't think there is a real definitive answer. Docc probably is close back when he "figured it ". Tank swell, your sending unit, being the biggest variables I see. Then there is the acceleration / braking factor...I recall braking could bring the light on and accelerating could turn it off - for awhile. Been awhile since i have seen "the light" since it appears my bulb is blown. I reckon thats not all thats blown with me

The light one looks right, I would want it even lighter, going for white. The other one is sooty, surely not ok. Directly behind the outlet valve I wouldn't want any carbon residues at all. Being an outlet valve should be no fun. It also looks as if the gasket on the right cylinder was blowing

The German V11 Forum & and all friends of Moto Guzzi are going to meet starting on Friday 12th to Sunday 14th in Rommerz /Neuhaus (Fulda). Everybody is welcome! Regards Werner

or you can do this again.

So here's the thing: I went and looked at a Norton Commando Combat basket case on Sunday. It's missing a bit of stuff and I don't want another project at this time. I want to buy something that ride now. While I could get the Norton at $1750 (a little high but it's a friend that needs a little help) it would be at least a year, probably more until it was on the road. I called my brother back in NC and he's like, that's way too much for the basket case, why don't you just ship your old bike back and get it out of my garage? Um, because I never thought about that! We won't go into the technicalities of who owns that bike now, I "sold" it to my dad back in the 90s when I was young and needed money. I left it out there in NC with him. I think he rode it once or twice before getting tired of shifting on the wrong side and went back to his BMWs. Now my brother has it. So it's been out there and I would ride it when I visited. As for my brother he has a problem getting around his garage, built a shed and still doesn't have room. And yes, it's stuffed with bikes. So I can see why he would like some more room. And he has plenty of bikes for me to ride when I come out there. So... for your amusement here is a picture from the early 90s when I got the bike. Please stifle your laughter. And here's the bike now, well from a couple years ago when we rode from NC to Barber. The engine has been rebuilt with some tasty bits and it's a lively one. It scoots. The rest is mostly original, although upgraded for the important things. I just need to figure out how to get it to Oregon. I'm trying a couple shipping places but I'm open to suggestions. If I can ship for $500-1000 I'll be stoked. I have thought about riding it back, with the 6+ gallon tank it'll go a long further than I can. Sorry it's not a Guzzi, Ducati or Aprilia, please forgive me. But I'm looking forward to having the old girl back.
