got it, cheers

Yet more expense.... I think I found one on ebay for £55- does that sound right?

Nice, not a bad price- looks like it fits well?

Ah, cheers guys. Yeah I gave them a wee tweek but it didn't stop the weepage. I'll pull it and check the seal.

What's the black plug situated just by the oil sensor, attached with two cap heads, forward of the left cylinder? Wondering as mine has begun to weep a wee bit of oil. Stew

Well, nonetheless, I agree that it's a noticeable improvement over the sachs. There's more 'floatiness' over rough and rippled surfaces and, combined with the lovely Avon 3D-XM's, I'm finding her more comfortable when leaning into the curves. I love my bike. She's right good.

Delivered! Fitted! Ridden! Rebound Twiddled! Ridden! Working nicely as far as I can tell. Hey Scud- I happened to bolt mine on t'other way round- does it matter? Has one of us made an unforgivable error?? What will the neighbours say??? At least I can get to my rebound knob without removing the airbox. Stew

Glad that's all cleared up! The first time I removed it it gave way with a right crack. I'm used to removing the whole shebang now but as that bolt is usually quite tight it's starting to damage the head where the hex key sometimes slips.

"..bolt in question is not removed during a tire change.." Are you sure? I can't imagine how I'd get the wheel out with the hanger in place... Will it pivot out the way when the axle is removed?

No gaskets fitted to mine either.... should there be?

Mine recently started catching a bit again around 2,750. I happened to take the headers off to rub 'em back + shine them up. When replaced the problem was gone. Perhaps they weren't nipped up good previously?

Cool. We like Stable and Predictable. Still waiting for mine but thanks to pasotibbs (who does own a duc paso- lucky fellow) I've been hooning around on his old sachs unit. We've had some lovely days so far this summer so I'm a most grateful egg.

I wonder has anyone got a copy of Guzziology? I'd have thought there would be info on this subject in there. Stew

Final post on this: My neutral light now functions as it should (Until now it was reversed somehow - 'on' when in gear and 'off' when in neutral). Big Thanks go out to Stuarto49 who showed powerful tenacity and dauntless spirit whilst talking me through the installation over the phone. Cheers Stuart! Some confusion arose until we realised his v11 is a 2001 model and mine's an '04- there seem to be a few wiring differences! So we wired a relay into the neutral circuit. Below are the details of how it is connected. (Originally used a 5 pin relay but I wondered if it works on a 4 pin and it does). Relay Connect to ------------------------- 85 12v ignition 86 Loom neutral (Purple) 87 Ground (Black) 30 Koso neutral (Purple) Hey presto!

Heh! Yea, website looks great, like a v11; but functions crap, like a v11 with dicky fueling. The shop is at www.officinerossopuro.com. Like I said: Italian speakers will have nay probs here but if you scroll down to 'Menu per Modello' there is a tab to click for V11 sport. You will then be greeted with the heading, in English: 'Our wonderful products', followed by a table of photo-less tabs and a sidebar in Luigispeak. Good Luck! Bella! Chianti!! Errr ... Aiutare! x

Low fuel light now mounted at rear of headlight:

Cheers Stu, I'm just off to work but I'll have a gander when back this afternoon.

Did you search the 'Officine Rossopuro Shop'? Admittedly, you'd need a grasp of Italiano....

Heh! Sensor mount is simple and well designed- just like me. Would a 5-pin relay such as the type fitted under the bikes seat work in this instance? I've got half a dozen spares lying about... Or I found this locally: http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/12v5a-miniature-relay-fj43w

I've messaged the supplier, no suggestions from them as yet. Solid state relay eh? Tell me more! Here's latest pix of the sensor mount and gauge re-location program:

Cheers Stuart, any pointers gratefully received. Edit: It was the wrong ignition wire- it's Green/black, not Green. Also realised it needed a separate wire run to the battery... What a dope I am. Just the wonky neutral to sort now.

Yes, a mate said maybe contact the manufacturer about it. The speedo feels to be under-reading but that's just my arse-on-the-bike sensor- I don't know for sure yet. Poss the revs too... hmmmmmm

Unfortunately, there's no info I can find on the neutral light signal or troubleshooting. In theory it still does the job... when it's off I know I'm in neutral! Bit unnerving to see the wee green 'N' winking at me whilst moving though. I'd like to get it sorted obviously. I used all 6 magnets as the instructions state: "... Higher number of magnets installed will result in a faster speed display on the gauge." I can't compare to using less, but it does read nice and quick. I've just cut a sensor bracket out of a piece of ally, another little snag sorted. I also mounted the speedo off to one side and it looks much better in my opinion. One more snag is the fuel light. At the moment it's tucked away with all it's wiry buddies in the headlight. One thought I had was to drill a (nother) hole in the bucket, maybe at the top or rear, and mount the light there. Like an informative barnacle. Either that or get used to peering into the tank regularly!

So the full (edited!) wiring details are as follows: Function V11 wire to Koso wire --------------------------------------------------- Turn L Pink Blue H/Beam Brown Yellow Turn R Green Orange Oil Blue/Black Grey Neutral Purple Purple Fuel White/Yellow Dark Green (Not used) Positive Battery + Red Ground Black Black Ignition Green/Black Brown RPM wire Yellow/Black Blue/Yellow The revs are set to 'Hi Active' on the unit settings for correct functioning (Whatever that means). Wheelbase measured at around 1858mm. I've not had the opportunity to validate the measured speed as yet... One problem I do have is that the neutral light is 'on' when in gear, and 'off; when in neutral. I'd love it if someone who knew about electrics could enlighten me as to why this may be occurring.

Stage 2 reached : Unit came with 6 magnets so I used them all. I found some 'Super Steel' epoxy and attached to the disc mounting bolts: I copied Stuarto49's idea for mounting the sensor off a plate attached to a hole drilled thru the caliper mount. The pic shows a temporary plastic plate- the final one will be cut out of a bit of metal: Here's a pic of first wire-up following a good, hard crimping sesh: Another temporary measure! This is the ignition hook-up wire, traced back from the key switch to the 4-way connector that sits behind the front left edge of the pekky tank. It'll want splicing in properly to finish: Another view of both ends of the crimps. Can also see where I've cut 2 new holes in the bottom of the headlight bucket and lined with grommets to allow me to hide the wires in there: All tucked away: A shot of the new unit in place, using the original mount. I'm not 100% pleased with the location yet- it kinda fouls the key somewhat and the key fouls the selection buttons. Probably will make a whole new mount up at a later date for best placement:
