Yeah. When my uncle bought the bike secondhand back in 2007, there were some scratches on the right side muffler. I also know the bike once tipped over in the wind and gas leaked and stripped some paint from the right fairing. If she took a hard hit on the muffler, the bracket (plate) or the hanger may be bent. The whole exhaust system may have been pushed to the left side a bit. You can loosen all the exhaust bolts and clamps and coax everything back. The right side muffler, in standard position, will look like it is further out than the left one. It was built this way. So don't let that mess with your head. Does it have the emission canister still on? It's the stupid looking thing attached to the bracket that the exhaust crossover is hanging from. With hoses coming out. Right in the center, in front of the rear tire. That hanger bracket could be bent too. This is all easy stuff. Great I'm glad this is all fixable. I was so worried the pipes were bent and I would have to heat it up with an oxy-acetylene torch and bend it. The metal tube the right handlbar controls go over is bent. Is that repairable?

The right mirror mount is also a little bent. I think I may put it in a vice grip and tweak it a little.

The exhaust clip?

Hey Kiwi Roy is it safe to test the fuel pump with no tank and no fuel going through the pump?

They are very similar. I think the ecu mounts are narrower and shorter though.

New gel battery

My aunt ran the bike into the wall when my uncle left in gear and asked her to park it haha.

Handlebar bent from when the wind tipped the bike. Any ideas?

Brake pedal rubbing exhaust. Any idea on how to fix this?

The bike partially disassembled

Yes! Pictures will go up in the morning. My garage is full of mosquitoes right now.

Hey guys. So I got the V11 today and it looks really good. There is some minor damage to one of the fairings and one of the mirror mounts is slightly bent. I've been doing the tank off maintenance list I was referred to. One of the vacuum lines was ripped to shreds and the three way joint between them was shattered so I replaced them. I replaced several fuel lines and all of the hose clamps. I replaced the air filter and the fuel filter and tomorrow I will do the oil filter. I installed a ground for my new voltage regulator. My spark plug caps are ripped so I guess I have to replace those too. I also need to replace the rubber mounts for the dash (they are listed as "silent blocks" in the parts catalogs). So so far so good!

I'm pretty sure I dont have an electric petcock. Is there a good way of coaxing the fuel pump back into life?

Ok. Do you know how I can get one? I did't find it in any online stores.

Is that something to help the oil pressure during fast acceleration? I think I will get one then.

My uncle had just put a new rear tire on when he decided to get a Ducati. I'm not sure about the front tire. I'll be sure to check.

Parts!

Fantastic! I will post some pics of it when I get my hands on it.

Thanks for the help here I really appreciate it. I was wondering if a bad relay could also cause the battery to drain? The only other thing I can think of that could cause that is a short. Thanks again.

Hey man thanks for the info . I'll get looking for one!

Just wondering... do you have much experience riding? If not, can I please suggest the following: Take a motorcycle safety class. Many classes include portions of (or all) the license requirements. I think it varies state by state. Buy a smaller, used bike and ride it everywhere for a few months. Dual-sports (such as Suzuki DR400s) are great learner bikes, nobody cares if you drop them a few times, and there's always a market for them. Then sell it when you feel comfortable on the V11. I do really appreciate the suggestion though. Right now I'm really just concerned with getting the bike running. I'll continue practicing in the meantime.

Yeah I do have some riding experience. I am taking a safety class.

Cool man! I am from Andover (its by Anoka).

Yeah I'm pretty pumped to get this thing going. My uncle actually had a new Ducati voltage regulator but he never got around to fixing it.
