  1. It is probably a long shot. But in August 2023, I experienced the same symptoms of sputtering, did not want to keep idle; Look at the picture below, and you can understand what happened. The rubber connecting the admission pipe to the throat was no longer properly sealing. You can see the small gap which messed up the fueling. Check that all your fueling components are sealing properly. No stray air entry anywhere.

  2. It's been laid down on both the the left and right sides at one time or another. Left side of the fairing is actually ground down a bit. Tank has multiple scratches. Clip-ons definitely stay, been wanting those for ages. It will probably stay as a Lemans for a year or so but this is what I eventually want to build. At least the front fairing.

  3. In the certain knowledge that a centering tool is required to re-assemble the clutch on the big-block guzzis, and that my clutch may well become due in the foreseeable future (the bike has about 70,000 km on the clock...) I bought one of these when a bloke in the German forum made a batch of them and offered them for a very reasonable price. I think I am now beginning to understand how it is supposed to work. Thanks very much.

  4. touche. don't rub it in! been my list for a long time to get down that way and tour a bit. dinner last night with friends who just rode 2.5 weeks in 12 countries starting in Budapest, hitting all these little scenic places with no crowds and low prices. They've also toured NZ on bikes some years ago and loved it, saying they had 2 straight weeks of sunshine, which i think might be not quite the norm?

  5. agreed. root causation. that said, seems to me as a “professional tourist” (paid to fly places full time) that notwithstanding the eye popping and unsupportable population change, there was however the most dramatic change after the Covid isolation. That surge in tourism was (is) of epic proportions. But the press says it’s now shifting again, as folks like all us complaining about it on this thread are now looking elsewhere, sick of the crowds. so those of you with hidden gems, be careful, the hordes are coming for your gems! (or so i’m reading) I agree with the several of you that said that despite the masses in italy in the popular places, that there are still plenty of fantastic places to go there and not worry a wit about crowds. Shhhhhh…… Did a family reunion event in Norway in august, and Oslo was a bit crowded, as expected, but not bad. and then the fantastic solitude and scenery when leaving Oslo and heading to the “pretty” parts of norway (most of the country)…. awesome. hope that area doesn’t catch-on with the tourist hordes searching for less-traveled gems, as those roads and areas would not handle it well, and would be a damn shame. There were certainly more sheep than cars or people in the beautiful places we traveled with the (extended) family, which seems a proper ratio for me. Riding there, something i’ve always wanted to do, requires avoiding too much caffeine, given the low speed limits, long stretches of single-lane but 2-way roads, scenery, and loads of sheep.

  6. I tried to get in contact with Ghezzi Brian for the tail section. But it is pretty quiet on that side. I thought the tail was a nice place to start working on some wheight loss.

  11. I did too... There is a lip on the admission pipe, and the rubber sleeve has a corresponding inner indent, or it should have. My guess is, UVs hardened the rubber compound allowing the throat assy to jump the lip. This is something that I have not seen mentionned yet. After 20 years, all the rubber made items should be replaced. O'rings have to be kept in their bag, away from light, and to be discarded after 10 years. Can those sleeves be purchased somewhere?

  12. Reviewing the V11 Workshop Manual, Section M pp 52 and 56, I see the same tool is used for both disassembly (spring compression) and assembly (alignment). By removing the center button @Tomchri points out, the special tool can be screwed in until it compresses the springs at which point the eight bolts can be removed to take the "toothed ring" off. As @Kevin_T points out, be certain the alignment marks are clear.

  13. The same happened to me. Ran funny, then backfired and the problem became obvious. Still, rode it home at +3500 rpm (a mile) which kept it close enough to run on that cylinder.

  14. Thank you again. I just got back from a fantastic, albeit chilly (wasn’t dressed for it) ride. Everything performed flawlessly and it even restarted after I got home. Today’s adventure did NOT involve a trailer.

  15. Yes, finally. My pix of SSR XX. Lots of reasons for my tardiness in gathering, culling, and adding captions, including general sloth and lethargy. These are, if not quite ready for prime time, they are probably "good enough." Even if barely that, consider that I started with 452, and deleted 300+. In other words, could have been worse. As usual with my pix, opens in “collage landscape,” and you can hover your cursor over the individual to see the captions, but those are easier to read in slideshow format.
