The manual says to balance with them closed. I finally went with the theory that balancing at "some rpm" (like 3000) it's fine to leave them open then use them to make the final balance at idle, if necessary. Of course my theories have been lacking before . . .

Changed your topic title and moved this thread for better viewing and replies, @JimM . . . Collapsed lifter? Hoping for better qualified members to chime in on this model (1999 Cali EV) . . .

I checked my records and those are the actual ones I got (Part Number: 01114390). Cheaper now than they were last year . . . .

My last ones came from here: https://www.mgcycle.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=94

I mean, it's still no Ballabio, @Bill Hagan . . . Yet . . . I'm havin trouble feelin' sorry for ya. (Ya had me goin' with the whole Norge thing . . . )

In my industry, we get to charge extra if we document in Latin, along with an alphanumerical code. I tried something in Greek once, but got slapped, she told her dad, and I had to leave town . . .

And enough of this "hippo skull" talk! Chicks dig these things like nothing else . . .

Not sure where your fuel supply goes off the fuel tap, downward like that . . . More commonly, that line goes forward to the fuel pump (sometimes to the filter first):

The brass nipple at the left front is for the crankcase vent off the banjo bolt at the front top of the spine frame behind the headset. Square hole at the right front is for the air temperature sensor. You'll have to find where that has been put and put it back.

Greek, Latin . . . same thing.

At one time my Sport was on an Exhaust Gas Analyzer and the target air-fuel ration was correct when the CO Trim was set to zero. Remember that every time the V11 is started, regardless of temperatures, the ECU runs a rich map for a set number of revolutions. I forget the exact number, but over 4,000. The CO Fuel Trim only is active below 3,000 rpm and has its greatest effect at idle and very low throttle openings.

Ah, yes, what I thought might be an "E" in a circle logo looks to be Bosch:

Not exactly, but close. Our mounting blocks "dovetail" together, between each, and each has a mounting tab, with hole, on "the back side". I can't get an image that is clear. Looks like: 3 334 486 065 and a logo that maybe looks like an "E" in a circle. edit: Okay, here we go: https://rct-global.com/part/base-to-suit-micro-relay-mountable-bosch-3-334-485-045/

This . . . +1 Ah , yes, a 2002 V11 would be prone to Startus Interuptus . You have good indications to clean/service your Ignition Switch and make plans for the additional @Kiwi_Roy Relay for the starting . . .

That should be a field expedient for urgent intervention. I suppose a relay swap is a reasonable test point to observe for change in behavior. In that case, swap in Relay #3/middle/Neutral as it is the least stressed/least critical (and that circuit has a redundant power supply through the sidestand switch with the stand up). Make certain any relay in Position #1/ Start is 5-pin. Remind me what relays you are relying on?

Ah, beyond GuzziDiag, then, and on to Reader/Writer? Probably time for a separate thread . . .

IIRC, the diameter of the fork sliders changed (increased) between early and later V11, but the clip-on/triple tree clamping diameter remained unchanged. Just from memory: 53mm? Not at all sure if memory serves there, but pretty sure the upper diameter of various V11 forks are the same.

I reckon they would only fit the early V11 Sport/RM mounted below the triple clamp as the early Marzocchi forks do not extend above as the later V11 do. I have a pair of ROX for Andy if he wants them . . .

Hey, @andy york, ping me if you think those ROX would be worth a try . . .

All of the LongFrame LeMans already have the clip-ons above the upper triple clamp, yes? Seems the Mototec can be mounted below, as well. (Which reveals the later V11 fork clearance above the triple) . . .

I've never been very fond of the "Form Follows Function" aesthetic of the MPH risers. I suppose they would just "disappear from the eye" after a time . . . The Mototec are very elegant, on the other hand . . .

I am using GuzziDiag V0.47 with Mac OS 10.13.6 (Kind of afraid to upgrade the guzzidiag version since what I have "works" . . . )

Hmmm, that's an odd one. Never heard that before. For sure the Run/"kill" Switch is on and the clutch lever being pulled in?

Interesting to see just how early-on these springs were discovered to be problematic. Final solution became @Chuck's expertly designed spring available by dropping @Scud a Message through the forum system . . .
