  1. Yes..........
  2. An oxygen sensor is used in a closed loop system. After the oxygen sensor reaches a determined temperature (with the help of the buit-in heating element) it starts generating a signal to the ecu telling the ecu if the exhaust gases are rich or lean. The ecu will decide to enrich or to lean the fuel mixture. This all works to keep the mixture to as close to the 14.7 to 1 air fuel ratio for optimum power and fuel economy. Disabling the O2 sensor would be the most counter productive act you could possibly do to this bike.
  3. That O2 sensor is the second most important input on that bike! Take the crossover to an exhaust shop. They can weld a fitting into the crossover the O2 sensor can attach to. p.s. take your old crossover so they can see where it is located.
  4. What does it take to drop the pan ? 10hrs.? NOT! would these guys not clean their oil pan? Would these techs. put your used engine oil in their engines? You should NEVER install old lifters on a new camshaft. Also, there is a cam assembly lube you would apply to the cam journals,lobes and lifter foot (bottom) when reassembling the parts. For your own peace of mind, you should change the oil every ride until you are satisfied there are no metal partices in the oil.
  5. Why not go all the way? I wish I were straddling THAT bike!
  6. I wish there was something good to say.... hopefully it will get sorted out SOON. Keep us posted.
  7. First thing. Remove the rear tire hugger. This will give you access to the bleeder screw. Remove the dust cap and crack the bleeder. If there is much pressure you are building up fluid pressure in the hydraulic circuit. Check clutch lever freeplay between the lever and actuator piston. You have to have clearance to allow fluid to return to the reservior.TRIPLE check your work on this to be absolutly sure this is working correctly. If there is another V11 there to check against, use it as a standard. If these are ok it's time to look inside the clutch.
  8. Mine were worth EVERY cent! I try to check air pressure just about every time I ride any way. After taking a 20 mi. ride (on the Beemer) on a compltete flat, I started doing a little maintenance. The Guzzi w/Rosso's seem to do good on holding air.
  9. That movie (w/ Roddy McDowell) was crazy!
  10. $100.00 ! Wow! You are good. Are you on the show "Psychic Shift Spring Locater" ? p.s. I'm glad there's still some humor after a winter of oil temp. sensor and recesion responsibility arguements.
  11. You could do like me, I bought 2 of them from Cannon for just in case. Now I don't have the slightest idea where they are.
  12. How did you get the bike to stand up while you took the picture? Do you have the same powers as Uri Geller ?
  13. The Rosso's make your rear pocket $2500.00 USD lighter... But they look GOOD!
  14. I bought some from Greg Field. I am very happy with them. I can just see 1/2 of my arms now.
  15. Install about 3 bar. air pressure, mix a dishwater and water solution and spray on the valve stem. The air bubbles will show up.
  16. If you're going to the dumpster with the Ohlins, can I have them?
  17. I like the (unlit) part!
  18. The feeling does NOT go away....
  19. Did you get all that? If you want to call me and you have a Verizon cell #,call 270-841-1774. p.s. I need a good excuse to ride somewhere.

    Cannabis sativa? JackBoots after a weekend of PBR (when I was a teenager) I could crap through a screen door.
  22. Step # 1 Replace the spark plugs. Step #2 If ypu think the injectors need help, www.lindertech.com is the place to go. They will test them and tell you what they need so you won't waste money. Does that sound good? p.s. Can you use a DVOM ?

    My mix was strange... Annie Green Springs Peach Creek @ $3.00 a gallon + all the pot I could smoke. This was circa 1974 of course.
  24. He invaded the adjoining countries and took everything the banks and museums had. When the war was over the Allies liberated (into their pockets)everything Adolph had foraged.
