dangerous

the links above wont open any photos for me so you are talking about the paw spring aye? photos from my fix it can you see the part you are having trouble with?

and end caps and be sure wires seated all the way into coils. battery ground connections. true I do remember seeing a section of plug cap missing so those with pod filters have never had tuning issues?

Yeah so today I dug it out and noted that the batery sits in a bolt on cradle which has been removed from the cafe sport and also noted how the air box was placed, I was mixing up my 1100 sport with the v11 so a look reminded me. anyway... no one has offered advice as to why this bike missis badley over 5000rpm bad batt un tuned pod filters other?

hey ok so... IMO and what I have found with my engine rebuilds and remember 90% were two strokes... If I saw scratchs like that on a piston and bore Id say tempory seizing

what looks clean mate? I didnt pay to much attention bike was only here for 20mins I will be going over it beter when it comes for a wee stay

hey thanks gm, was what i was thinking, in the weekend ill get my bike out and see how they differ, kinda stuck at the rear of the garage at the mo

OK... MG never put the battery under the tank correct? next issue then is how the hell did it sit under the seat? mines in a steel cradle but this cafe shows no sign of one missing, are the air boxs the same as other v11's Need some help on the filters guys, should that breather be shoved up the pod like that? how does this effect the tuning? Like I said id runs like a bag a shit over 5k, needs to be sorted, who has a well tuned v11 with pod filters here?

ohh the batt photo

Ok me again, kiwijen came over this arvo on her new cafe sport... poor things had a hard life but we can make up for that, how ever I do need some help here. my V11 has the battery under the seat... CS under the tank, is that normale? air box removed, not a idea I like but its ex Japan and that lot seem to love wrecking shit... I cant figger why you would bin two nice carbon fiber side covers for dumb arse pod's. thing is it runs like a hunted shit house over 5rpm's is this a/ no air box b/ ballsed up TPS c/ electrical like a dud batt d/ all of the above e/ something else we will be after parts, like side satnd, starter button block, air box, side covers, disc pad split pins and more... were you guys recomend? photos attached, this batt thing has me buggered, more to come

AYE... dont you?

'she' 'xena'... see guys this is why 'they' belong in the kitchen

ahh shit, seems my post above is all ballsed up, ill try again. ok so IIRC the link pipe does help with performance, odd thing is a early engine has the link were the last of the V11's do and inbetween they have ried all sorts a positioning. bikelee... try this works mint for me. loosen all headed bolts and link pipe. gunge the link pipe wit a exhaust sealent get a rachet tie down thingie and put it around the two headers at the most forward part tighten the crap out of the ratchet tighten all bolts let sealent dry over night and or a quick run up to gain some heat for curation. remove tie down sorted till ya need to remove the cove under.

yeah I know andy re the tidest comment... mechanical is what I ment aswell as altho I have not seen the bike yet just odd at 40k that it has had a clutch, cam and suroundings, starter motor etc, on pick up the starter button shat itsself... suspisious at the best I is the scot in me.

Well a friend sold her bike a couple a months back and I was hassling her about a new one something like a FVR750 would suit maybe a cheap 800. Anyway a V11 poped up on line for sale at a decent price be it not the tidest, I was joking about her buying it... well she did. So as she will most likely join up here soon lets get a list together of all the issues she will have, the money she will wast and the KM's it will take to relise what she has gone in bloody done.

So post a pic, the CS is soon to arive in chch too... what you pay milage condition etc?

ohh Im just coaching docc, intro type class new rules n regs over here as there has been a few deaths lately. I wouldnt seriously race the leMans but having said that If I some how find myself out on the grid 'by mistake' then Id have to finish the race aye...

Ok a little info from a local, the story is the oil filter came loose causing a loss of oil to the cam, ca that happen does the warning light not come on? Clutch well aparently they are prone to cracking??? starter... I duno

On the track, ahhh what the hell... no rego so why not, got a classic action meet this weekend... looks funny less the road bits aye?

Hey so, can any one shed some light on this... 05 and cams rebuilt why do you think that would be? have heard of it on earler bikes, I think. Now a friend is looking at it and and that price its not to bad. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/sports/auction-722155101.htm

the weather here isfinally turning cooler, they are calling for -1 wednesday Hey re the oil filterpre 97 and you had to remove the sump, awesome site looking up there.

Just tell yourself he /she had the benefits of an upright riding possition and better visibilty...great for real world road riding.... In the Hasst Pass? Hey so got this new book Guzi the compleat history by colombo in the weekend and been reading... and dribbling at the photos, any way seems even in the V11 range engines differed fly wheels etc, aparently some spin up quicker that others, same hp tho, cant say I have noticed.

What you talking about JJ?

WELL... my Coloumbo book finely arived from the UK, looks good real good love the coloured photo section and looking forward to learning shit I dont know

ahh shit... could be wrong but Im sure they are the same here, I know I was hassled by a calie when on my sport, neck n neck in the twisties I couldnt loose the prick. Can I asume corectly that up to the V11 all 1100 engines were the same? and inlighten me here I also asume the sport and V11 engines are the same. Any specs I have read here 1100's carb or inj are all 91Hp?
