I found this thread by @Bjorn from several years ago. Sadly, many of the image links have gone dead:

@Scud posted a tutorial of this, IIRC . . . Maybe start your inspection by peering in through with the shift plate removed from the left side of the gearbox?

IIRC, the Zūmo 550 was about $800US when it came out, maybe around 2008. I suppose my screen played up after about five years and the "repair" /refurb unit was $175 if memory serves. So, about 1/5-1/4 the cost of new. That ratio would suggest that the Beeline repair cost would value the Beeline at around $300US. (I have no idea what they cost, but thought they are cheaper than that?) (FWIW, my resourceful buddy got a replacement Zūmo screen for like eight bucks and installed it himself. )

We are all accustomed to the clutch plate rattle changing with the lever in versus out, but I've never held in my clutch lever and rolled the bike listening for noise. This would have me inspecting the driveshaft yokes and U-joints . . .

How can you be sure? Is it the color? The original looks the same, with two holes. See if you can measure from the rear mount hole to the furthest attachment hole . . .

Something very common in electronics repair is to send you a refurbished unit for a fee. Garmin did this when the screen failed on my Zūmo 550. This practice usually makes for fast turn-around time.

Wow, @Chuck, your bass standing in the background!

@BillyB, send @Chuck your shipping address on "personal" Message to be sure you are included.

We're a "pretty secure" site, but I would suggest putting that contact info in a "Personal" Message to @Chuck. Just hover over his username and select "Message." Once done, let's edit your post to better safeguard your security @LaGrasta.

"I feel like funkin' it up . . ."

I'm pretty happy with my funked-out V11. It has mostly everything on it you guys have said was a good idea at the time. I suppose I'll need serious counseling later in life . . . Otherwise, I am pleased this thread got to grow legs of its own . . .

Seriously? Neither of you have modified a machine for nostalgia, or embellishment, or just to tease an onlooker? No rubber chook, bungeed on for the ride with its beak to the wind? I once re-jetted the carburettor of my Japanese engineered GB500, then modified its exhaust. I enjoy the outcome. Pretty sure I changed the stated 33 horsepower to maybe 28 and shaved about 10 mph off the top end. Oh, and gutted the fuel economy. But I love her more for it . . .

Moderator note: Because of the way this thread was started by moving posts from another thread, the first post shows the Original Poster as @Tomchri, yet the member who started the discussion in the "Formotion clock fit" thread is @p6x. I copied&pasted p6x's original comment into Tomchri's reply as the first post in this new thread. Starting new threads by moving posts can help keep thread content more dedicated, but can also create issues like this. Sorry for the confusion from my "housekeeping." [edit: I've made several changes to the original posts where the "split" occurred to help clarify. Thanks for y'all's patience. docc]

When the VintageCar VCm3 page opens, see "Bulb QTY," drop down the menu and select "single - ONLY 1 bulb." Still $84.50 US, but I would buy it again.

I bought my VintageCar LED singly. There is a checkout option for that, IIRC.

Seems @LaGrasta's GB50/CW600 might be this White Bros creation from Cycle World, February 1990: http://www.champsclock.com/gb500hu.htm

I remember that CW600 GB! I was fortunate to ride a similar 600 conversion back in the day. It was hot-to-trot! (The only period article I have on the GB600 is Motorcyclist, November 1989, depicting a Rob Muzzy 600 kit.) Buddy, you have definitely landed yourself with the inmates on the right ward!

Welcome, Anthony! You are in the right place, with the right people, to sort and learn about your V11 ! First thing to know is the 2003 burgundy (Bellissimo !) Sport is a "carry over from 2002 ("chin-pad" fuel tank with external pump and filter, white face "Veglia" guages that are driven by a sometimes troublesome angle drive at the gearbox, and likely the problematic engine/driveline paint of the 2002 models). When searching parts, you are likely to find the best matches with 2002 parts. Looking forward to hearing and seeing more from you!

Yes, then the oil returns are more likely 16mm x 1.50. The main drain is the middle of the three on the back of the sump. There is no drain "underneath."

I am getting 15M diameter x 1.50 pitch for the two holes into the back of the sump (not the drain at the bottom). The left is used for the return from the spine frame and uses the adapter for the line (the earlier V11 and the later V11 use different line types, so the adapter/ part # differs), while the right side is blanked with bolt and washer (#22/#25). Somebody check my work . . . edit: correction: 16mm x 1.50

Pretty sure I have that #21 "Reduction" /adapter and can derive the correct threading. Stand by . . .

Modified how?

In fact, the V11 has a secondary plug above, to the right, of the drain (leftover from the earlier Sport 1100 that had two return lines from the crankcase venting into the frame's spine).

Here's one for @Guzzimax !
