thanks guys, had the tank off so figured whilst I'm there whip the air box off too!

Ok, filter box off to access shock but when I turn the adjusters- C and D in manual-they both turn and theres no 'clicks! I assume they compress the spring i.e stiffen it when screwed in? do I need to hold one whilst turning the other? also manual says hydraulic braking, what does that mean? what does ring nut A do? thanks

ok done now! 10 min job turns into 3hours+!eventually took the back off- used needle nose pliars to hold the insert then patched up with 'magic putty',my advice DO NOT try to replace this piece! mask off and repray inplace!its got to be easier!!!!!!!

have a look at opie oils site, I spoke to them 2day and they recommended a silkolene oil 15w-50, they seem to know there stuff-its all greek to me!

no luck! the bolts just turn and turn, took the back off and they screw into a brass insert and that just turns!!!!!!!!! I've tried stopping it turning but nothing seems to work-help

thanks, did'nt want to bust it!

Hi, trying to replace dash, no.26(see below), do I need to remove the rear part, no.14? i've loosened the three allen screws but it don't want to come off! thanks http://aprilia-spares.com/MGParts.asp?mod=GU08602&tbl=39&tblname=39 Dashboard

Thanks I'll read those articules, owners manual states factory settings for rear i.e 20 snaps from closed , so is closed fully clockwise?

Hi all, New owner of a 02 V11 sport(12,500mls) and I'm finally get some miles in on the bike! however I think the suspension needs alittle tweaking, the front seems way too firm and the rear too soft. I have afew articules from guzzitec etc to read(this is all new to me!) but before I start down that road I need to put the bike back to factory settings.I have an owners manual but other than tell you that you can adjust the front it does'nt mention how it left the factory. As for the rear is does say the factory setting i.e 20 snaps from closed, I assume closed is all the way clockwise?and I have no tool kit can I use a 'c' spanner from another bike? also any tips on getting to the rear shock?thanks guys

Hi, Can anyone confirm that BMW rockster mirrors fit a V11s? Are the stalks longer? I'm trying to see past my elbows! cheers
