Yeah... too high and the gap doesnt work. and pipes dont follow the line. But don't ask me

The Guzzi Rocket

The sounds between the beasts are different but equally as nice. I don't have a snorkel on my griso and it has 2-1 exhaust and my V11 has massive pods and velocity stacks so theyre both going to sound quite different to the norm

Yep, i built it. Bought as a 89 Mille GT and made a couple of changes.

if taken to a shop that repairs speedos , they gently pry off the chrome ring and able to reuse it. The alternative is ruining the ring and possibly breaking the glass... ask me how i know

is this still for sale?

I still have my old V11 cartridges, happy to measure them any way thats needed against the other pair to see if there are any differences or what the differences are. I would expect that there is either no difference or a minor one that can be changed, ignored or adapted etc. If someone has the other set, we can compare the gizzards

im interested in the chin pad for the tank, i have the starter cover already.

oh... i hope the bmw didnt beat the guzzi in that race?

My dibs for best sounding twins - TRX850, V11 / 1100sport, 1098, best racing twin I heard though was the Irving Vincent 1600 running around Philip Island. This is a vid from Eastern Creek..

The forks were originally Black. The bike has a slightly checked history, apparently it was a Lemans and the owner removed the fairing so it was a naked when i got it. 2001 yr

lol.. my clown seat

Youre the man Docc... i can't even remember what i had for breakfast!!!

10ltrs... shiiite thats like those peanut harley tanks.. at least the vibration will make them stop before it runs out of gas.

no not the switch but the sidestand not sitting on the switch properly all the time or actuating the switch. I don't have one on my bike, but i know on my griso there is an inch of play which can foul it from getting into its proper position.. anyway, was just checking and easy enough to check while riding, just kick the sidestand into the bike if its conking out.

Yeah, Im wondering if the side stand sort of dislodges from the switch just enough to kill it and clutching it is enough to jar back. It should be easy enough to kick the stand when it cuts out and this would rule it out definitely at least.

Could it be the side stand is not resting hard against the switch? Sent from my ELE-L29 using Tapatalk

I've got sort of the same thing, but it cuts out for 1/2 sec. But... I had a TRX and it had was getting harder and harder to start. Every time I thought I found a reason it proved not to be it. Eventually it was a fracture on the pcb of the ecu and once I was able to get another ecu it suddenly became an easy fix. From that experience I would say you are doing all right things.

oh... its definitely an italian thing, a friend worked at a maserati/ferrari dealership and he often removed and painted the inside of the engines to stop porosity leaks

When i rebuilt my ducati engine, i wanted the cases painted and so the painter duly sand blasted the cases and painted the exterior. Looked superb too in purple pearl into an almost black main colour. .. anyways, he also sand blasted the interior casing paint off too that ducati use to stop porosity. Before reassembly, i repainted the interior of the cases in a dull red paint specially designed for stopping pososity... can't remember the name but it was easy to come by nor cheap. But it did work a treat and the engine still goes well and doesnt leak after 6years.

Well I like the look of the sport but prefer the 6 speed box of the V11. I thing they can match up from engine to gearbox ok, so it was just a matter of whether the gearbox fits the frame. Cush drive was an interesting point too. I would prefer the injected model with USD forks over the carb model, although there is a carb model up for sale just down the road from me at the moment fitted with FCR carbs, but it needs a lot of TLC and at $10K, its probably got $3K in cosmetics to spend on it, not to mention its not the i model..

Howdy all, Just wondering if anyone is familiar with the Sport 1100 models ? I know the V11 pretty well and was looking at a Sport 1100 today and the frame shock swingarm seems basically the same or similar, so im wondering if say a 6speed gearbox fits a Sport 1100, ECU type etc? Wheres a good place to learn more? regards Neil
