A triple-digit parts bike! Know that the clutch/flywheel of your Tenni and the LeMans differ and the "clatter" with clutch action will be inverse . . .

Maybe more like, "undeniable patina " . . .

So, @Tomchri, you think you will change the fork rake back to original on that hyper-Greenie?

DeTomaso eagle, yes? Gambalunga eagle:

I remember when the common wisdom was, "They get loose, but can't fall out." From a first hand incident, "Yes, they can fall out." Much to the dismay, and disarray, of the bikes following behind . . .

Oh, well, yes . . . there is the matter of greasing the front U-joint. Especially on the the early RedFrame Sports . . . So much of this is in the Tank Off Maintenance Checklist and Wheels off Maintenance Checklist As to major mechanical rebuilds, that hasn't turned out to be of the most concern, as far as I have seen.

Seriously, other than Relays, Battery, and Tune-up: the three most neglected areas on V11: > Rear drive: far right side needle cage. > Sidestand fasteners, both, but especially the high torque large bolt. > Charging system failure (ungrounded regulator, melting 30 amp fuse, broken stator wires).

After this last valve adjustment (no changes to the lash), I did have to cave in and replace the right side, original valve cover gasket. I suppose I should go ahead and do the left side . . .

Makes me ponder how I would list mySport, as to "condition" . . . > Lunar Lander Module, well used, expertly seen to. Various re-entry burns evident. <

The Citroën reference gives me pause, and nervous memories . . . Is see the Dynotech.de ++ Greenie has some special triple trees, @Tomchri. Has the fork angle been changed from the factory 25º to something steeper?

@Chip Seal's silver Sport:

Remarkable fuel economy! I suspect a very "steady state" throttle at a rather constant rpm . . .

Have you ever heard a V11 rider complain about running issues from 5000 rpm and up ?!? WHEEEEE-eeee-EEEEEEEE~E~E~E ! ! ! ! ! ! !

With that, and a way to set your TPS mV, you will be golden. (After plugs and a valve adjustment.) Then, meticulously synchronize the throttle bodies . . .

I hear circus music . . .

Just want to say, for the record, that changing the TPS setting based upon GuzziDiag, at idle, is a shot in the dark (unpredictable outcomes). Whatever the TPS reads, at idle (whether in voltage or "Degrees of Opening), is fine as long as the V11 starts and idles happily. Nut Brown Ale time ! Cheers, Tom!

Progress! Does that address the presenting issue of the trip odometer not working when you got the bike, or is that internal to the mechanism? (Common issue)

The TPS is not set with GuzziDiag, only with a quality voltmeter with the right throttle plate fully and completely closed. The ECU does not output a value at this level, so GuzziDiag cannot see it. This indexes the actual/physical throttle position to the ECU fuel/ignition mapping. The 157mV value is critical. "More is not better !" Once the first five steps of the Decent Tune-up have been performed (plugs/valve adj; TPS baseline; CO Fuel Trim; Air Bypass Screws; Throttle Body synch), set the idle rpm (TPS degrees open/TPS voltage) wherever you, your V11, and your traffic/temperature conditions like best. That "535mV" target is just not significant. FWIW, my last (faulty) TPS struggled to allow mySport to idle above 1000 rpm. New TPS, careful baseline setting, and idling happily at 1400 rpm. Sure, a lot of people think that is too high. But not if you ask mySport.

35/40 is what I use as well. AFAIK, yes, you can unplug the PC and plug the connector back into the ECU. Having recently performed a full Decent Tune-up (and TPS replacement), my fuel economy went up about 3 mpg.

Sounds about right the way I ride. Just humming down the highway at steady rpm, I would expect a little higher, but not much. Lucky Phil has shared the astute observation that the ECU runs an enrichening map every restart regardless of engine/ambient temperature. Multiple restarts will degrade fuel economy. A couple things you could try: First would be to defeat the Power Commander. It is not unlikely it was set up to add fuel. Pete Roper has reminded us repeatedly what a bad idea this is. Easy to defeat the PC, see how it rides and check mpg. Always easy to recommend the entire Decent Tune-up. Make absolute certain the TPS is accurately indexed. You have used Guzzidiag to check/set the CO Fuel Trim? Where do you keep tire pressures?

I put my isolation blocks back together with a toluene based contact adhesive (commonly available as "Goop" or "Shoe Goo" here in The States). Replacement isolation blocks can probably be had from McMaster-Carr.

Getting closer! Odd, the individual wire seals are available, but still looking for the connector seals . . . https://store-x2go4.mybigcommerce.com/content/Catalogs/TE AMP SuperSeal 1.5 Catalog.pdf
