"XM" is certainly 1999. Actual build date (month/year) is engraved into the left side frame headstock plate. Just curious how early this V11 may be . . .
-
I recall @luhbo reported seeing an early V11 in Germany with the frame plate from the factory. Maybe it was this V11 ! What is the build date on the headstock?

And it's @Guzzimax for the thread-save! -
It has, very much, a "custom Rosso Mandello" vibe. Like a RedFrame Sport slept with a Rosso Mandello and had a Wild Child . . .

Simple enough to check the voltage on the yellow stator wires. The Workshop Manual says the AC voltage between the two yellow wires should be 15vAC at 1000 rpm, 40vAC at 3000, and 80vAC at 6000rpm.

Look at the size of that oil cooler! And the drop with short offset triple tree . . . An interesting addition to your V11 Collection, Tom!!

The yellow stator wires are AC, IIRC. Pretty common that one of them detached at the stator (which can surprisingly hard to see on the bike with the alternator cover off).

Yes, the nose of the crown wheel is inside the reardrive. Yet, if it's not leaking perhaps best to leave it be?

I spy a wire spoke car wheel under a very spare "wing" (fender) . . . very "big" Healey-like . . . -
This is because they can see you already have a gorgeous, and willing, dancing partner.

@Rolf Halvorsen's struggle with posting images is not new. While a hosting site is ideal, here is a tutorial on creating an "Album" and posting images from "Gallery" . . . -

Delicious! -
Yeah, you know, maybe that Verde Leganano is identical to the V11 . . . Even the 70's V7? They would have to be sitting side-by-side in the same light . . .
-
This may still lead to a regulator, or even a stator fault, but the tachometer dropping out with charging failure is classic Relay#2 (plus Relay#1 on the early Sports).

Source a full set of "Best Relays", either OMORON G8HE or (more available): CIT

Good news! If occurred to me that an idle stop that stuck is suggestive of the tune-up history (or lack there-of). Time for that “Decent Tune-up!”
-
I’m not so sure the original V7 Legnano green was the same formulation as the V11. It doesn’t seem to have quite the luster and brilliance from photos I’ve seen…. Seems there is a modern (small block) V7 with this sort of green? Neither does it seem to *pop* like the V11.

There will always be a place at the South'n Spine Ride for the AeroLario! Y'all come back now, ya hear? Colt looks thrilled (as well he should be with that very special Scura)!

Something to soothe our Kentucky brother. Nothing says, "Don't take life too seriously" like a kazoo in the band . . .

Ah, yes, the nefarious V11 Achille's Heel of the outboard (oft neglected) needle cage. Have you been able to inspect the nose of the crown wheel? Grease those needle cages liberally, and often, y'all!

We have a "Hearings Aids" thread right next to our "What do you listen to" thread . . .

If the thread title is "multiple choice" . . . c. I'm odd.
