Almost forgot, one great unexpected plus to the Mistral Crossovers - I've got no more pinging under heavy acceleration in high gears in the mid rpm range! Not sure why or if it also may have to do with the fuel remapping, but finally no more pinging.
-
Yes, I can confirm that the Mistral Crossovers fit nicely, very little wrestling to install.

Update: I bought the Mistral crossovers from MG Cycle a few weeks ago and installed. Love them! I have to say, i'm surprised how much louder the exhaust is now. I replaced my stock mufflers Mistral straight-through cf mufflers last year (without the included db killers) and it made far less of a difference than the crossovers. Not sure why that is. I would say it is now about twice as loud as stock now. Before adjusting the Power Commander fuel mapping, It was hard to tell if there is a performance difference - the sound alone makes you feel like you're accelerating faster - lol! After loading the updated Power Commander fuel map for Mistral mufflers and crossover, it really does feel like its pulling harder and reaching redline quicker now - highly recommend this modification!

Thanks all. I think I'll just go with the Mistrals from MG Cycle, that is unless someone has a used one they need to unload...

Thanks for the info Guzzisti!

Anyone know who carries Stucchi Crossovers for V11s in the US these days? Thanks.

Thanks for your replies gents. I ordered my GEI Relays from Pyro Dan (Design Tech Engineering) last night - five for $16.50 including shipping. The GEI AR4-012-C11 number is correct and Dan confirmed it will work for all five plugs. I will report back if there are any issues with them
-
Dumb question - assuming I purchase a few of the GEI AR4-012-C11 Relays as suggested above, will it work for all 5 Relays on the bike? That's what seems to be implied, but I read on another thread where someone temporarily messed up their electrics because they inadvertently mixed up the order of their Relays when they removed and re-installed them. Thanks for the help.

Was just told by Yuasa not to use their battery since ours is installed horizontally. They said it must be a factory sealed battery, and their YTX15L for V11s is NOT.

Found this image on Pintrest - the owner calls his bike "Tokyo Short Trip". Love the fairing and want one for my Scura. Please let me know if you know where it can be bought - thanks!

Replacing rear brake caliper seals..........NOT!
4corsa replied to guzzijack's topic in Technical Topics
Just discovered this very helpful topic because my rear caliper blew a piston seal and leaked all over my rear tire while riding this morning. I removed the caliper (20k miles, always garaged) this afternoon and discovered it was full of crap as predicted above. Luckily MG Cycles has brand new replacement calipers including pads for $122 in stock, not too bad. So if you're reading this and your rear caliper hasn't yet crapped out, now is the time to remove it and fully clean and service it! -
Thanks for the input, and that Tank Off Maintenance Checklist is great!

I noticed a small puddle of oil under my '02 Scura after a 50 mile ride yesterday. Turns out the crank case breather hose split just above the lower connection point. It sure couldn't be any more buried behind everything else, but it looks like I might have a decent chance at accessing it with the gas tank (and possibly air box?) removed. Any suggestions from those who have already enjoyed this task would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Just received and installed a carbon fiber chin spoiler from Ghezzi Brian (Bruno) on my '02 Scura. See attached. Some nice projects and after market bits on his website - nice guy to do business with.
-
If your stock damper is an Ohlins like the one that came with my Scura, its the highest quality damper you can buy. If so, I recommend contacting Ohlins and sending to them for a rebuild. You're actually supposed to do this every year or two depending on use. If I recall correctly, it costs around $50.

Looking for a chin spoiler for my 02 Sport Scura. Please PM and send email to 749corsa@gmail.com if you have one available or have any leads where I might get one. Thanks, Greg

Ok thank you. So mine were obviously polished by the previous owner.
-
I've had my '02 Scura for 3 years now and is a bit overdue to re-polish the polished aluminum valve covers. I started in lightly with some ultra-fine steel wool (without much results), and was going to follow up with some Simichrome polish. This worked quite well with the aluminum valve cover on my old TVR 2500M. But it almost seems like the polished valve covers on the Scura may be clear coated, so I stopped before getting too far into it. Anyone know if they came from the factory with a clear coat?

Very cool! Would be so great if you photo documented the whole process and posted on the forum. Best of luck with the mod!
