It's Sachs Boge. Don't know if you can change the rod. I would opt for aftermarket, f.i.: Öhlins, Wilbers, Penske.

Nice upgrade! Sadly mine is broken. The knob (?) has come off and I can't find a juweler shop that repairs Junkers watches. My GF bought me this one for my birthday last month:

AFAIK wheels are PVM.

Hi Mortimer, welcome to the forum! Check out this thread for more info on this project: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=15561&st=0

Why blasphemy? Her's some inspiration:

Nice pics! Thanks.

Quick follow up: The bike was at TLM yesterday and they took care of the TB synchronization and setting the TPS right. Popping is gone now! Happy camper!!! I also mounted the full metal Daytona temp sensor holder adding a squeeze of anti-seize.

Beer..? Apple juice!

Picture was taken at a small Dutch only V11 meeting in Arnhem, a couple of years back. I didn't know what you were thinking, but my guess is, it wasn't the above.

Skeeve, is it just the header-picture with the logo you don't like? Because the rest has stayed basically the same.

It used to be a 2001 red/grey V11 LeMans Now it looks like this:

The popping/misfiring happens when I close throttle when braking and when riding at constant speed. I know I can ride higher revs but in the city that's not really comfortable. Exhaust is leak free. What I haven't checked yet: throttle body sync. I have a DVOM (had to look that up: digital volt/ohm meter) and will check the TPS. Thanks so far. I will let you know how I get on.

This topic has been about since the start of the forum, but now I'm experiencing it myself. All the info is spread, maybe it's a good idea to have all possible culprits named here With a hot engine the bike pops and misfires between 3000 and 4000 rpm: I have checked the following w/o result: - Throttle body rubbers for cracks - Cleaned all injection related contacts with a good contact cleaning spray. - Valves are set correctly What could cause this? And more important, what could make this go away?

Living close to the German border, the reception of the german tv-stations was much better than of the dutch ones. And who knows... maybe I'll end up UNDER a Beemer: fatally crashing in the tail of grandpa's R80

I was watching this when I was young:

I think I'm a bit too young for these, but don't you just love the term "Supermarionation" ?

Thanks for following up on this

I have a used Mistral lying around. It has a few welds but otherwise it's in good nick. € 50,- plus shipping. Let me know if you're interested.

Great! I hope it's still in good shape.

Or try contacting Rebootguzzispares: he has two V11 breakers: http://www.rebootguzzispares.com

Cr*p! It's clear now that you're having a bad luck spree. But, being a spree, there will be an end to it. Good luck!
