No. That V11 is plain f**ked up. Some people have no class,culture or taste. It's a shame these idiots live here in the states.

Emry is right............ You don't want something that "looks o.k." Take it to a driveline specialist. I don't remember if you went to a machine shop or where? After looking back at the pictures , you need to have this problem repaired. when you talk to the right people they will explain why it needs to be perfect.

You will have to let the bike idle for a minimum of 3 minutes to cause the bike to go to "closed loop". After that, raise the r.p.m. to see if the ignition timing changes. Blip the throttle to se if the timing goes up and down.

I will have to get someone to do it for me. I don't have (own) a digital camera.

I don't know the exact figures, but the steering angle and wheelbase is shorter.

I don't guees there is a law against touring w/a dual sport ? Congratulations on buying the most bulletproof bike made.

They still are. They are on my bike now. Diesel sic "crashed and burned" prior to his bike winnning the award. To my knowledge he sold all his 2wheelers.......

"most" quick-connect couplings push toward each other then slide off the attached part. Try it very easily before jerking and cussing.

Good, hope to see you & others. I wil look for the aprillia.

"Ghost Rider" has nothing on you !

V11 BOTY last year... The winner was (black with Alpina wheels) Diesel's . I thought this bike was the "runner up". Can you verify, Jaap ?

Gasoline density or volume expands and contracts with temperature variation. This is why racers ran their fuel through "cool cans" before going into the carbs. This cool can had ice packed into it to chill the fuel (and causing the increased density) before it went into the carb.

GGGGGGrrreeeaaaaattt !

Isn't this the bike voted runner-up to BOTY last year?

You are not wasting anyone's time. When you are learning you are making the most of time. You understand the injector is a solenoid/ pintle setup that allows pressurized fuel to be sprayed into the intake. #1 fuel pressure does make a difference on gasoline fuel injection. You clamp off the fuel return and see what happens. #2 The pulse width modulation (controlled by the pcm) and fuel pressure/volume control the fuel amount going into the intake. If you are having or think you are having trouble with your fuel injectors contact www.lindertech.com 888-809-3835. These guys can test, flow rate, clean and match/set fuel injectors.

It would be best to Google "fuel pressure regulators or theory of operation". This device regulates fuel pressure. When (high)manifold vacuum is applied to the vacuum port on the reg. you will see a desired fuel press.#. when you accelerate and manifold vacuum drops the fuel pressure rises to an established or desired #. This action causes more fuel to be sprayed through the injector. Evidently MG has mapped their fuel delivery system to not need this activity to take place.

You could do that. You have to run a ground wire from the battery to the point you are using to ground to. p.s. Use shakeproof washers to establish GOOD grounds.

Order more capscrew(s) and use Loctite blue upon reassembly. also Loctite sells a "primer" to clean the capscrew threads and bore threads.

Google Gustafsson and see what you come up with. They market all kinds of plastic components.......

I wish I knew this before I worked on mine this past winter..............

It all depends if I want to be John Kay or Valentino Rossi. Unfortunately I see Fred Flintstone when I get home and look in the mirror............

Anti-sieze has copper,nickel,aluminum and other base materials for the anti-sieze agent. Some industries specify different ones. Go figure? The dielectric grease is actually an insulator instead of a conductor. The copper anti-sieze (I tested a nickel base) shows infinite (non-conductive) resistance on my Fluke meter ?

How much are you saving buying this unit instead of OEM ?

Ford Motor Co. sells an electrical (connection sealer and protectant) grease part # F8AZ-19G208-AA and there is a fluid called Stabilant 22 that is a conductivity enhancer I use on critical components.

you could make a different exhaust system with mufflers that were parallel to the ground. Then you could make footpegs to suit you.
