Thank you Pete for clarifying the clearances. Searching the forum led to a number of different values..I was having some problem sorting them out and didn't write down what I used previously. (Oh..and now I remember why I have what looks like shish-ka-bob sticks in my toolbox....) Now that I can (barely) make out that arrow, let me try to be more meticulous in my letter search. If unsuccessful, I'll live with the pain of the extra mg's.

I've never been able to see the "D" or "S" on the flywheel of my 2004 V11, but have instead relied on the ability to spin both pushrods on the cylinder I'm working on to establish TDC before checking clearances. Well, today I got to the point where both pushrods rotated freely and I decided to have a look for these elusive letters. Didn't find them, but I did discover a faint but well formed engraved arrow on the flywheel pointing in the forward direction when I had the RH cylinder at TDC (pushrods easily spun about). I'm curious if anyone else has seen this, or is this some other artifact defining a different relationship unrelated to adjusting the valves?

I've had good luck with these https://realgaskets.com/product-category/motorcycle/moto-guzzi/ thru original installation and one reuse. No leaks, seeps, etc.

Course laid in for future tweaking.

Just "fishing" a new speedo cable thru the maze.....

Went fishing......

What my speedo looks like 'cept for the mileage. 2004 V11 LeMans

...performed. I think this cable needs to be a tad longer if the speedometer/odometer is expected to function. 15,300 miles. Considered going the Speedhut route, but decided to replace the "odometer cable 01760492". The break was up near the instrument panel. Are their any consumables I need to worry about at the other end at the "odometer gear 01762560" interface?

On more occasions than I care to admit, I've warned an upcoming turn of my arrival.

I approached tanking my take off (2004 V11) for the first time with some trepidation after reading others experiences. FWIW, turned out it was NBD getting it back on.

FWIW, following replacing the fuel filter on my 2004 V11, the bike "screeched" at key on. Went away fairly quickly after everything "primed up". Hasn't been an issue since. I know the OP mentioned it came from the area of the relays...but this is the only time I've encountered a screech on my bike....errr, I mean...from my bike!

I came early to the party....just after they knocked 40%-50% off MSRP when HD announced jettisoning Buell. Still in the middle of rotor replacement with the EBR "final fix". This will be stator #3....

The RAT looks like fun, too...but its scheduled over my summer road trip's prep time. Yeah, I'm a procrastinator.....

Have used these in both applications without any issues on my V11, including re-use. No drips, seepage, etc. Did buy a torque wrench capable of the in-lbs they spec.

"Anyway, The front is the business end, but a working rear is a handy back-up." A t-shirt worthy philosophy.....

Works for me.....

I guess that would be..hmmm....essentially east, eh? Sounds good!

Sweet! Enjoy......

Thank you, Sir!

Ditto on this. I hadn't left enough slack in the harnessing going into the ignition switch during my foray into switch lubrication. At full lock, I was able to disengage the removable bottom "cup" of the ignition switch assembly. Exhibited the same symptoms...

KTM curse....or some other travesty? Glad your adventure has everything back home and a plan forward....
