When I rebuilt the Centy engine Chuck I had the option of the plastic or the brass temp sensor holder, I went with the brass. I can't remember which was the later version but read somewhere recently it was the plastic which wouldn't make sense to me as i would always go with the later updated part when I have a choice. Anyway part of my logic at the time I do remember was the plastic holder seemed to have the sensor bulb suspended in mid air within the holder which didn't seem like a good idea with regards to responsiveness so I went with the brass holder and also applied some high temp grease inside to surround the sensor bulb and transmit heat from the holder to the bulb more directly. Did it work? not sure as I have no comparative data but it runs nicely Ciao

I hope that I am not going to offend anybody.... This is an old "for adult cartoons" French magazine, which only cost six Francs, so a very old one indeed. As you can see, the choice of the bike and individuals correspond; Prolo is short for Proletaire or Proletarian in English... the guy wears an overall, which symbolized that.

PULL the swingarm, take the shaft off, and grease it on your desk. And before and after greasing you feel if the ends rotate without sour spots. That is the only way to be sure that all is right.

Unlike others here, I like airheads. Easy to fix, reliable, good parts supply and, god help me, I like the looks of them. I have no illusions- they handle terribly and do attract the human equivalent of undescended testicles. And those humans do tend to overvalue the bikes when they are in a shit state. $1500 is too much.

That idea has been suggested many years ago. Considering that he didn't do it during his slack time, very little chance now that he's busy. I've noticed that professionals don't have the enthusiasm on their off-time for things that the rest of us enjoy as hobbies. Which makes sense. Everyone needs to get away from their job.

I can speak from substantial experience and close personal knowledge that any silver V11 Sport which has sat for ten years due to electrical issues is wanting for one key solution: V11LeMans.com

Spanish girl.....

Or on the grounding side. So many ring terminals, so little space. So easy to drop one on a battery change. Very happy the "revisit" yielded the desired outcome, @Taxguy

I can relate to "home made" special tools. I was in the battle tanks industry, and a lot of the stuff we had to tear down after the tank had been used in the field could no longer come apart as described in the service manual. So we had to devise our clever ways...

What with it being an early ShortFrame, I would be surprised. Do tell if you can find some way to make that happen short of pulling the swingarm or . . .

.....a variation of the musical relay game. Next time remember to dance around the bike rattling chicken bones. Good MoJo.

Here is the answer from "on-bike" customer service... this guy exudes confidence and appears to be annoyed by people seeking clarifications: lol.... After his reply, I feel so much more confident in his technology.... should I ask him if his designed has been reviewed by an certifying authority?
