The exterior dimensions are identical. The bolt circle, body diameters and steps, bores, etc. The Aprilia part only uses one port. One would need a banjo bolt with a bleeder on it. I find that acceptable There are some other differences.

About 1988 or thereabouts I rode from Melbourne to the Gold Coast on my Z900. There was a girl on the pillion seat, and the reason for the trip was that she wanted to visit someon there. Three days to get there, 4 or 5 there, and then back to Melbourne on my own. The bit with the girl didn't last long, which is no doubt a good thing. The trip was perhaps not "life-changing", but very much a "forming experience". PS: not many curves when one goes up "through the middle", but slowly watching the landscape change over the course of 500 km. is definitely a meditational experience.

Sounds about right. New clutch in, connect clutch wire, ææh NO clutch. Ended up with a 3,1mm long SS rod inside the metal cylinder that pushes the rod. Yes larger clutch plates, not 100% original. But yes bike in 2gear, small plier in u joint, clutch handle in, YES. Cheers Tom. Sent fra min SM-S906B via Tapatalk

Runs strong with 94500km. Paoli handle bars, Roper plate, Jefferies ECU, Omron relays, comes with new clutch, hub,sentering tool, 5th gear repair set, V11 forks, titanium GPR exhaust +++. I better buy a lottery ticket, parts alone easy 20000kr+, everything 35000kr [emoji3]. Yes another IPA. Cheers Tom. Sent fra min SM-S906B via Tapatalk

I just realized , my V-strom is a counterfeit Stelvio

I try to be rational and patient. When I started to look for a Le Mans, I resisted better deals because I wanted it red. Sometimes paying less ends up costing more.

Riding gets the soul soaring a bit like like music can Years ago I had over a week with mates bonding riding my ScuraR from the Atlantic (Biarritz) zigzagging from France to Spain up & down over the Pyrenees mountains to the Mediterranean There’s something quite special & soul atmospheric when riding higher ground - a life forming experience I still carry with me Any of you fella’s had a ride like that?

It will be like starting with a virtually new bike. It will need the usual CARC bike stuff, swingarm bearings and shock linkages greased, check the drain hoses from the airbox are intact and plugged, sump spacer gasket replacing, (Optional but recommended.) and a full service and tune by someone who knows what they are doing. Apart from that. Press the button and watch the horizon come towards you. Don't buy 'Tuning' shit from charlatans and you'll be fine

Yeah, I took a while too. I grew up with the Stevie Nicks era, and sometime much, much later I found out that they were, before that, one of those british blues bands that were perhaps not better than USA blues, but different, and equally good.

A company called Oberon makes a billet version, lifetime warranty, p/n CLU-2800 The smart guys on here will determine if the stock pushrod will work. I have to make a new one anyway, so it's irrelevant to me. We knew somebody else had to use that cylinder

Simple reason for clutch slippage. 7.12mm plates. Cheers Tom. Sent fra min SM-S906B via Tapatalk

Again thank you Marty, sort of my thoughts to. I need to get manuals in ingliissh. Leak down test today, amasingly good for 95000km, 3-4% tested with 2 Sun test maschines. Another exelent friday, IPA time here. Thanks for the V11 forum. Cheers Tom. Sent fra min SM-S906B via Tapatalk

The Sport 1100i manual says "Absolute pressure transducer. This transducer is powered by the electronic control centre and gives information about the absolute pressure in the air filter box. This transducer is connected to the filter box through a small pipe. Its output signal will produce a correction signal as function of the barometrical pressure". On the V11 there is a pressure transducer built into the ECU.

Winther project got new rotors and brakes serviced, Bridgestone 32T, cleaned up the extra exhaust system and got it properly mounted. Woud someone know the brand ? Cheers Tom. Sent fra min SM-S906B via Tapatalk
