One other thing, can someone explain to me, the KTM vs GasGas livery? So Pedro is on a KTM, but with GasGas paint? why? That's as bad as putting a Chevy in a Ford.
-
Is that stock, but maybe with an aftermarket spring?

I stayed off the forum the last few days as I didn't watch the GP until last night, and didn't want a spoiler. Wow, fantastic race, and that track! I really like the drastic elevation changes and long straight for 200mph+ speeds. As you know #33BB is my guy and of all the riders this past weekend, he was the biggest winner! Not the fastest, but in the hunt, then the crashes, inherits fourth place, and suddenly second in the championship. Whew!

Being concise and consistent is the first rule of branding. No one will remember a convoluted and changing message.

Andreani upgrades for V11 OEM Marzocchi forks
LaGrasta replied to al_roethlisberger's topic in Technical Topics
Just spoke to Andreani again. They have yet to fit the uncommon 43mm size forks (@luckyphil). It was their impression, this is what I had given them. Although mine have confirmed their 40mm fittings, it did not gain them additional fitment as they had hoped. Anyone with 43mm interested? Those with 40mm forks, order with confidence! -
Andreani upgrades for V11 OEM Marzocchi forks
LaGrasta replied to al_roethlisberger's topic in Technical Topics
UPDATE: My forks are currently being worked on by Andreani. They have called a few times, just to update me on their findings. My forks are true, easily within spec limits. Bearings are slightly marred, but of no concern. He would possibly swap the bushings, but cannot find a parts source, even internationally. He wants to have this option for future orders, so he will continue to source these until successful. Their current cartridge kit has now been confirmed to fit for these forks/model years. Thus Andreani will be increasing their application fitment part numbers. They are appreciative of having this confirmation. At this point, anyone anxious, can call and order your kit now, or wait until they update their website, and order directly online. My forks will be completed today, so combined with shipping from NC to CA, I suspect I'll have these installed in the next 2-3 weeks. After my test ride, I'll report back! -

Try listing this on bringatrailer.com. I've sold two cars on there and they do also list cycles.

This hose is a only a breather, allowing heat and gases to escape, actual liquid oil is meant to run back down into the crankcase.

…ahhh, my man #33BB!

Congrats @Scud

Seems I never updated anyone yet, sorry about that. I installed the circuit breaker, went it easy and works perfect, bike starts and runs as intended. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08QTSZ32B/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Having replaced mine, I can say it's very easy, especially with the tank off. You should have no problem.
-
Sorry to hear this has happened yet again, must be so frustrating. This hasn't happened to me, but @Scud is only 20 miles from my home. Hope he has some in stock.

I know a Ducati tech, he was gracious and set the SAG on my V7 many years ago. When doing so, he commented about the adjustability of the Wilbers, he was impressed. He said it was highly adjustable, small turns made large calibrations, allowing him to really dial it in precise.

What's the trick to removing the Alternator nut?
LaGrasta replied to rydfly's topic in Technical Topics
I hardly use my pneumatic gun once I got this unit. https://www.harborfreight.com/automotive/impact-wrenches/7-amp-12-in-impact-wrench-with-rocker-switch-61173.html This should remove that bolt, right proper! -
Andreani upgrades for V11 OEM Marzocchi forks
LaGrasta replied to al_roethlisberger's topic in Technical Topics
I spoke once again to Andreani (Luciano, David). They spent a great amount of time sharing the kit development process, etc. It's obvious they are really familiar with our bikes. Once they receive my forks, and confirm a kit can be developed, it will be listed in their catalog. They cannot start for a few weeks however. I'll keep us updated on the progress. Considering there are only about 2 other cartridge options, Traxxion, Matris, and they cost at least twice what these do, I'm excited to develop these! -
Andreani upgrades for V11 OEM Marzocchi forks
LaGrasta replied to al_roethlisberger's topic in Technical Topics
I spoke to the Andreani rep today; nice guy, knowledgable. He is familiar with our forum and suspension threads. Even the @Lucky Phil debacle. He mentioned the difficulty with our bikes; not too many globally, and age. They only receive about two request a year. He said if I'd send him my forks, he'd fit them, document everything and list their availability for future sales. I'm seriously considering it. I'll be calling him back later this week. -
I bought the breaker from Amazon, planned to have installed it this past weekend, but it wasn't delivered until Sunday evening. I did manage to free the buss, cut the wires and prep it. In doing so, I discovered a previously installed butt-connector on the 15amp fuse that easily fell off. I'll solder that back when I finish the CB install. Much thanks to @gstallons, for calling me to advise my repair and check in on my progress. I've got a friend in Kentucky!

LaGrasta replied to al_roethlisberger's topic in Technical Topics
yup, this is mine: titled as 2003, with a 2002 "Long black Frame" with "Short Tank" (chin pad/external fuel pump/filter), white gauges, crinkle engine paint. -
Thanks guys, super fast reply! It is the OEM harness, however I added the forum-advised extra ground when I first bought the bike. So to correct this, I bypass the fuse block, running a circuit breaker style, in place of the 30a fuse.

Having recent trouble starting the bike, then it was okay without any repair. It turns over, sort of wants to start as if it needs gas. I suspected the fuel pump, but I hear it wind up no problem. I chekced this fuse and yup, melted, but not burned out. I replaced it, tried starting the bike, no different. Pulled the new fuse, and it too is melted. Super long thread, what am I to do, replace with a breaker, or relay? https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/pbcircuitbrkr.php
