dangerous

docc... i know what ya saying, but all it takes i spose is a slight bend in the forks and it all changes, were the machi forks the same length to the WP shit I cant remember

ohhh I thought that was ya Husky you were talking about... looks like its basicly a one piece item, ie ill have to replace the hole thing got as far as cleaning the garage up ready to start, found its got a flat tyre so, ill sort that 1st

thats what i thought hence my query... whne i had my 1100i sport and a mate had the 1100carb riding each others we agreed they felt so different, so we wnt on a mision... fork length, wheels, ride height all kinds of measurments and the only thing we came up with was the carb was shorter between axels due to a ever so slight increase in fork rake. then again when I jumped on a 04 cafe sport after my 04 lemans... fark it was like an intiley different bike... as far as I know the only difference is the bars, I guess putting my fat arse in a diferent riding position

righ oh then... the riding season has drawn to an end here, finished up with a 1500km ride and still loosing fluid, still no sign of were its going however the prievious ride to a rally in the morning on start up there was bit of smoke, fluid burning of the exhaust box so im thinking thar was from the slave but nothing since. strip down time now so who here is beter than me at finding a exploded view of the slave so I know what to look for, hopfully will make a start this weekend.

as above... and tell me the differences between the gen 1 and gen 2?

rr... yeah but depending on ones style of riding, pressure up means a cooler tyre = crash easier, same with any tyre that lasts the distance hard compound = crash (again all depending on ones style and speed) at the end of the day if its round n black and keeps ya arse off the hard shit its working

how come so few v11's went into aussie... if ya still looking theres allways several selling on the nz trademe site, cost to ship over the river cant be as bad as from the other side of the world. just had a look on ya bike point site, 4 there including a balabio which is a cafe with out the fancy gears, also a hard to get scura and rosso mandelo

interseting... looks single but two exhaust ports or is it just two headers?

Chang Jiang?

I'm vague on this , too: if the slave leaks forward along its shaft, will the fluid go clear through to the bell housing (and dribble out the weep hole), or would it flow into the gearbox oil? yeah well thats what worries me, everything feels fine altho the gear changes sometimes 'crunch' when they never did... I just dont want to make the issue worse by not finding out the actual issue, leaver feels noral.

thanks guys... yeah stroke (not as in self graterfacation) but as in failer o the blood flowing in my case to the eye. lost 60% vision the stroke aparently incouged by a rather high colestrol level, gota watch what I eat drink, having said that my homebrew has no added sugar so reckon I can have twice the usual and the big one... exasize, so when I can focus a bit beter Im going to exasise my right arm (not to stroke) to empty a beer bottle or two and heave the rear wheel out of the bike to get at the slave... or maybe ill just top it up and ride some.

no sorry, just an external looksie with a bright torch (dont have much pachents at the mo due to a stroke a week ago leaving me mostely blind in 1 eye) think for now due to cant be farked itus Ill do as you say in the last line, but I do like your other ideas.

right just revisiting this thread, sorry been busy doing the gardens, feeding the kids, having a stroke, bottling me home brew... so got the chance to insepct the slave etc... no leaks anywere... so back to the thread title if theres no leak were the hell is the fluid going???

yes, ironic really and sad but he wasnt the 1st and wont be the last... I thought ya might have ment the crash not the bike

yeah... a flat 4 stroker from a boat... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Newcombe http://www.nzonscreen.com/title/love-speed-and-loss-2007 https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=kim+newcombe&biw=1280&bih=912&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=k2fYVM_8KoTxmAX45oGwAg&ved=0CCIQsAQ&dpr=1 as above... it was an awesome idea, and took on the worlds best

ok, here we go again...

when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth... mean... thats what I wanted to here, bolt off bolt on the new?

emmm was thinking the slave, its in behind the rear engine casing aye? behind the rear wheel and swing arm? asuming it is in the bell housing and thats were the missing fluid will be aye?

yeah... as above, over a 800km trip twice now the clutch fluid level has droped to empty, there is no sign of leakage anywere... tell were to start looking guys?

ohh shit iirc bout 40 bucks and 7 for a liter of eni 80/90 and chuck ya GTX in proberly do a filter tho when you change next

Rain.. I wish, never seen it so brown here, 1st time the local cocky has ever ran out of water... Castrol GPS the semi syn is actually what I use, only just found the ENI in recent times at such a mean price

well then... ya hiding out at either Chch, Invercargill, Tauranga, Dorkland, Lower Hutt, Whangarei, Palmerston North, Taupo or Greymouth... Im thinking Inver's and whill ya at TD get one of them big arse detroits for me nissin ute will ya

yeah yeah yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh LOL I could be wrong but I dont think any V11 has a cat filter http://www.transdiesel.com/products/series/158/eni-motorcycle-oils--i-ride-range?categoryId=90 i-ride is the brew and their 80-90 is what MG reconmend aswell were in NZ are ya?
