+1 ^ When i’ve tuned/tinkered with my v11 i’ve found the air screws play a significant part in getting her running well.

Raceco valve settings = 0.15 intake and 0.20 exhaust

Gosh the iti’s seem so fragile, better off with a quality aftermarket item- there’s loads to choose from thankfully- 29 replies

I would agree in part- i’ve put a hyperpro shock on mine, which is fine, but when i took my pal’s speed four for a spin, which is by no means a new machine, the finesse of his suspension compared to mine was most noticable.

That’s interesting as the marzy front end is... adequate

Yeah funnily enough i only recently saw the “torque from housing side” info and initially thought ‘Oh no! But i’ve been tightening the nut side!’ Then i realised that i’ve had that wheel off dozens of times and never had a problem. And it’s definitely easier to push down to tighten! Otherwise you’d be lifting the bike off the stand?!

He’s already got 80 horses!

I think that axle nut is the only nut i don’t use a torque wrench on. Probably cos my 3/8 wrench doesn’t read that high- I just do it very tight with a big-arse spanner. (Shrug emoji)

Some long, looooong roads of not much... I got a touch of heat-stroke from just driving for 2 hours. If you stagger red-faced into a Walmart, go to the pharmacy and ask, in an English accent for “Paracetamol?” You’ll get nowt but strange looks. Oh they do have a massive wooden round barn. And a massive soda-pop place. Er, and a few buffalo remain.

I’ve been to Oklahoma (of all places), Red rock canyon was nice enough, loved Tulsa, sadly did not get a chance to ride in the Ozarks.

Fess-up Who crashed their VII?

Oooo. Going too fast into a corner. I’ve been there- but not had as awful an outcome as that poor chap. -
Looks like the sheer, explosive power of the V11 is dismantling it!
-
Is it coughing before cutting out?

However... very cheeep!

Perhaps the “owt rather’n nowt” phrase applies?

I got mine at about 13k miles, now on about 35k without a problem. x

That’s all very well and good PA, however, when are you going to post some videos exemplifying the sound of not only your delicious 1000i, but also your rather tasty dodge charger? hmmm? People living on other continents deserve satisfaction too y’know.

And lovely + clean too

Looks damn fine

It’s a bit.... green

Well i don’t know... i have sincerely enjoyed maintaining, and riding, my guzz. I have no idea where the hell i would take her if i couldn’t have done the work myself. There’s nowhere i know of locally that’s for sure. This forum is ace. Just bloody brilliant. You lot are utterly complicit in the continuing functioning of my motorcycle! I might have a little cry...
