Hey Foto, no tank suck I checked it a few times when I was having problems. about the injectors I don't really either but I'm running out of things to check. No charcoal canister was removed shortly after I bought her, I did recently "Y" the fuel lines together but like I said no noticable tank suck.

Picking up where we left off.... Idle dies when warm (twenty plus mins. run time) after recent maintenance including: Wire harness grooming airbox/air temp sensor grooming front crank seal replace grooming fuel pump power supply/coil power supply timing sensor o-ring replacement/wire leak fix Valves/TPS are in spec Fuel filter is new air filter is new lotsa' insulation round my external fuel pump/lines fuel tank breather lines seem to be kink free Kiwi_Roy sent me an awesome resistance test chart through the ECU and everything seemed fine there. The only thing left that the board had recommended for me to check was the injectors themselves... Which probably won't get done for a few days. I have been reading "Guzziology" for the last week or so and have noticed that some of my symptoms are similar to advanced timing... Thoughts? My bike has from day one (in my ownership) sounded like there was some rattling going on when the throttle is rolled on hard under load only at certain speeds/RPM. Nothing too noticeable but audible through a helmet. Throwing some more info out there into my abbreviated recap of a lost thread. Sorry if this is confusing and thanks for any help.

Pretty sure it's gonna be the inner. Is the spacer inside the box supposed to float like it is on mine? Part #01356930

I had run into you at the ducati dealer the other weekend. The Bald guy who was talking your ear off.... That's me. On my cable both ends were 20mm O.D. on the knurled part they look like your new cable.

The seal going from shaft into the final drive on the final drive looks clean. Is a little weeping like my photo normal?

Green Magni fairing? Black and brutal looking naked 1100 Sport?... Anyway snap a pic and I/we can compare what we have. Label male and female ends. Bill

Shite weather, so she's comin apart today in preparation for my soon to be trip. Found this BTW the blue is the 80w red line gear oil. Now I have the red line heavy in there (red) and there doesn't seem to be much of a leak. Ignore the reddish brown grease that's supposed to be there. Also when I removed the old oil it was the exact amount I had put in. My questions are what is/was leaking? Also is it still leaking? As I don't see any red oil?

I don't know what to say about that... I didn't hate it, strange times in Ukraine....?

Yessir, that seal. A 90 degree pick and side cutters. Glad to have it out too, because the thin spring looking ring from the lip of the seal had detached and could've wreaked havoc back there. I don't know if an old seal would have come out so easy but this one is a couple months and 1k or so miles old.

With a fresh seal it is possible to replace without removing the timing cover. Which only makes it slightly easier. But it's in.

Cycle Gear stocks the V-twin stuff. This board sold me on th Red Line and I can't justify ordering gear oil online, since you never know when I might feel like changing trans. fluid. I believe I know some folks like that too... Rare product purveyors that is.

Funny enough yesterday I had just posted that the "V-twin w/ Shockproof" is apparently the same as the "Heavy w/ Shockproof". This seems to be a real popular gear oil 'round here not to mention seemingly fixes most everything V11 related. Nice plate BTW.

With Shock proof. Exhibit A: http://www.redlineoil.com/product.aspx?pid=119&pcid=13 Last bullet point Exhibit B: http://www.hdforums.com/forum/touring-models/522630-redline-heavy-shockproof-or-v-twin-tranny-with-shockproof-2.html not saying this is 100% valid but seems legit.

So now it is as clean as I can get the crinkle paint, it's not leaking.... Atleast not like it did. Anyway I'm about to pull the rear wheel and tighten everything up back there. Also whilst preparing to drain and refill with a couple new seals in hand I discovered something that may or may not be news to the v11 community. The magic elixir that cures most any transmission problem these bike seem to have A.K.A. "Red Line Heavy" is the exact same product as the "Red Line V-twin Trans. Oil". Good news as I cannot for the lfe of me find the "Heavy".

Foto, your videos always make me miss Mpls. even though it's 75 and sunny here in FL. I always say for like 3 months it's the best city in the world.

i would even settle for the v7 in the bed.

There is hope after all, for us constant repairers. Hope it stays that way!

the angle of the peg is adjustable. Basically, the peg is unversal and is bolted into a model specific mounting bracket. Although there are plenty online that offer adjustment.

Now the seal has given up.... Oh well, I would have considered myself lucky if it didn't. She's gonna be apart again.....

So the main difference between the rear and front pegs is the spring/ball bearing contraption that holds the peg in the upward position if you can figure out a way around that you should be able to fit the monster pegs. Here's some pics. BTW you can adjust the angle of the pegs the rear pegs are obviously just mocked up

No i didn't pull the rear wheel. The shaft was pretty well covered with oil. Collector was dry

no, more like this. Hard to see as it has some dirt on it but the bevelbox is/was dry all around on the inside of the case

You guys know i couldn't go too long without having something a miss with my old girl. Anyway after sifting through I think, every gear box leak issue ever posted (my favorite titled "the crunch heard round the world"). I haven't seen one like this. Since I bought my bike it has always had a very small/slow leak. Thought I tracked it down to the upper sump but not so. Now that I have the 80w blue "redline" in the trans. I can confidently say it is the trans. Anyway the leak is was real minor and the level never changed much so it sat on the back burner. Until this morning when I see about a tablespoon or more of oil on the rear rim and just on the rear rim. Dirty and sprayed on only like 1/4 of the rim. Bevel box is dry all around. Shaft is caked with old nasty oil all the way to the seal going into the trans. back of the box box is caked all the way to the bottom by the drain plug up to the left side by the gear selector. Drained the bevel and measured what came out seemed real close. The level of the Gearbox was low so I added and cleaned both breather/vents to each box. Both were free and clear. My question is I didn't see many threads about gear selector seals failing. A few rear seals but mostly side panel gaskets. What would you're money be on?

I definitely tried to avoid buying chinese pegs and would have gladly spent more money but there wasn't anything easily available. Anyway ended up with http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ducati-Front-Rider-Foot-Pegs-Monster-600-620-695-750-800-900-1000-ie-01-08-/190779723816?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AMonster+600&hash=item2c6b5b9028&vxp=mtr I like the knurling on these and for $40 it's worth a shot.

I've heard a few MC publications describe the typical classic italian riding position as fitting folks with long torsos and short limbs, this is me. I like the position of the pegs, they are really similar to my old VFR800 (believe it or not I feel less vibration on the v11 than the VFR at the foot pegs) but my boots don't grip them very well, getting rid of my boots is not an option. They are finally broken in after 13 years . Yeah I can see what you're saying about a more modern/technical look. I usual keep my bikes pretty stock because IMHO more often then not a few after market items can really cheapen the look of a bike. But from a purely functional standpoint I was also thinking of going with black, as it is a Lemans. Would be cool if these monster pegs fit the rear. I'll be reporting back.
