Ummm, wait . . . three per side? one into the engine timing chest and these two, at the top, into the spine . . . .

Looks sweet, man! Welldone!

:thumbsup: :luigi:

MotoInternational lists it (doesn't mean they have it), but no details on fastener size/ pitch: GU98612635 Two US dollars, fifty US cents [i have long used a method of LocTite-ing any fastener found missing from my single or my twin. . .]

The Tonti frame of the 850T is nothing the same . . .

Yeah, I tried that, too. Did not work for me. (And a few others) . . . Like I said: rabbit'ole! So, no, not the high mass brass holder, but the total opposite end of the spectrum to allow the temp sensor to recover from heat sink more quickly.

Post a pic? (Any sidestand that shows that kind of damage should lead to a thorough inspection of the stand's mounting bracket, the integrity of the "sump spacer", and the fasteners referenced in the link.)

Okay, here is the image I've been searching for that shows the common lateral wear from deep cornering: Not the circled fastener. That is one of the V11 Achilles' Heels! Look at the stand's foot ground flat on the outer edge. Mine has not touched there again since I spec'd my suspension springs and "set my sags." https://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=13357&p=224484

And just how would I attach it? Yeah, well, this is embarrassing . . . I would use JBWeld. Another *crow dig*, I know . . . or a proper "Bodge Point." (You did say "epoxy" in your first post. You did! You did! )

oh, man . . . that temp sensor mod has been declared "over the top" and "totally nutcase" . . . . . . following docc down the rabbit hole . . . . ( worked for me. )

Well, yeah, buddy! That is the main front (sub)frame connection to the "stressed member" engine . . . Good find!!

Good luck with the fix. How about a Delrin boot?

Fussy Italian girls! But, good news, buddy, you're back on the road! And she actually performed well for your Ozark Spine Raid? A couple thousand miles, that, yeah?

Looks like it was grounded deployed. Not normal wear, which is only exhibited on the outboard edge of the foot. Somewhat visible in this image :

Is the side stand switch functional?

That doesn't look like the typical outboard wear of the shoe from cornering deeply. More like it struck the pavement while deployed?

My Sport used to do that at low speed and high ambient temps. It took a long while to sort as there were a handful of contributors. What do the aviation guys call that . . . Stacked tolerances? The final contributor was building the low mass head temperature sensor/ holder.

Fortunately, the V11 fuel line between the injectors is one piece.

You big-Bro's . . . gotta love ya! I would not be here without mine . . .

"Here little bro, try this candy. Yummy? ooh, all outt'a candy . . . but there is this Moto Guzzi jus' down the road a'piece . . ."

Oh, man . . . we all resemble that remark!

Your little brother? I ask because my big brother got me into motorcycles without me even realizing it. Now look at me! I so love it!

Yah, man, the silver "LeMans" looks fabulous! That must have been someone else's post on that voltage drop. Improving, and maintaining, the ground paths on these bikes is really critical.

All good, man. Just teasing about. Yeah, remove the seat latch release and the main ground of the negative battery cable will be under a fastener into the upper right of the gearbox. Take the fastener out, clean and sand all the surfaces. Replace with a coating of petroleum jelly (Vaseline® aka Kiwi_Roy's VooDoo Magic 'LectricumJello). Consider using a "star" washer to dig into the mating surfaces as well as treating the battery terminals to the same VooDoo Magic. I have learned to love Caig DeOxit electrical spray. The "gold" has both a sealant and special electrical flow enhancers (my words . . .) Turbo-VooDoo! Here's a view of the Main Ground connection from behind with no rear wheel , swingarm, or fender:

Bravo, Voycie! Y'all boys don't keep making me post that Horsie-hose picture!
