I have not done ground up tunning. General house keeping, bar swap, shift spring, Givi Addaption (I gotta do an article...big beautiful Givis on a V 11 !) Flat tire. It's pulling like a big dog, starts at tickover and idles right about 10-11...BUT I'm with you... a perfect / correct tune would / could make it smoother. The swanky billet aluminum grips ain't helping. They ARE pretty tho. 🤣

Again with insightful thoughts... thanks again... I'm leaning towards "something up with motor mounts" Investigations begin in AM. Then off to the ammo store. 🤣

Good thinkin,'

Ding ding ding !!! First thing in the AM ..THANKS Phil......Duh!..In my defense I only took one 40mi ride with the clipons. Still..should thought motor mounts before "sinkers" 😃🤣 the club bars on risers I took off were full of BBs.

Ya..they have the weights....I'll pull them and fill the empty tubes up with sinkers.. maybe.

Seat of the pants testing.: With the "failing transmision" issue, the very prominent SNICK! into 3rg gear was getting my attention giving me concern even after the confirmation of the service/04 tranny. Somewhere between the 12k mi at purchase and the recent present ....about the last 400mi /15,,000 mi the snick is gone. About 400mi after switching to Red Line too. I also switched to OEM Clipons. The VIBRATION is ridiculous. My LM had no such issue though I often read complaints. I presently have foam grip covers. Hate them. Fine at speed but fancy maneuvering on campground grassy conditions. I feel I don't "have a hold" of the fat pig. (Let's face it..these things are no ballerina under 20mph. Add wet grass and tree roots...ugh! ) so any reduction in vibration due to "break in- smooth out " will be noted and reported. I got a 800mi weekend coming up so we'll see. ( *Sportys Iron Duke Saloon* Minerva NY.. A spatering of Guzzis, Beemers and good folks camping out if anyone is in range an interested. Spectacular lonely, well surfaced, un-patrolled 😈 roads)

MPG...not "might:

It's Brand New....they're totally broken in at about 20kmi !! 😅😃 Shifting, might, seat. WIN !!

YES !!! Another WIN. !!! Yea...the "Flexable Hose " curve ball. Congratulations. ! How many miles on it??

Yup ...that's what MG USA told me too. Non denial denial. Gotta go Piaggio. Have you investigated " less than factory quality" Sealant around joining surfaces?

YUP. Re: windtunnel..

👍 Very glad to be of any help..

Yes it is...I had that option at purchase time. I campaigned an 02 LM and found that fairing no on beautiful but highly effective. ...including mirrors and rain riding. ..hand protection....but... I'm 5'8" ymmv.

Ack...I'm a little late chiming in... New phone..lost P words but YES..I went thru the "was my tranny replaced" fiasco. My 1st ray of hope was the Grey sealer smeared around bell housing etc. I was clinging to that when after a couple e-mails and phone calls Steve Spinoza of Piaggio confirmed the tranny change in 2004....pheww..after a couple nay sayers from dealers/MG USA insisted they would not have 24yo records. Try to contact Steve Spinoza /Piaggio....3rd and final relief was Grey sealer smeared inside tranny..pheww! In parting I gotta give a major shout out to V 11 LeMans and in particularly DOCC and SCUD and a couple more. I could not have made it without you all.👍🤣😃 thank you ! Presently the Sport is languishing while I'm dealing with a failing hip. Was really loving the beast up until 2 weeks ago and had 2 rides getting the OEM Clipons back on and sorted out.i much prefer-am used to that position... not sure if my 73 yo self agrees yet. We'll see...need a good 200mi trip to get a real idea. Last time out I picked up a screw in the front..got it home on temp plug..then did inside plug then hip became the issue. Down to next BIG(not😃) project...the PINK PORK CHOP ! God I Hate that! 🤣 Also looking at LeMans fairings. I'd love that. THANKS AGAIN YOU GUYS !!!
