I’ve just found the link to this old tractor’s page... doh! There’re full colour copies of, what looks like, every model! I would say I wasted my time drawing up my own haha, but it certainly improved my knowledge!

Evening All! So I had a little wiring issue with my wee Monza, and decided to draw out a coloured wiring diagram to gain some control over the problem. Went marvellously- all sorted now yay. I ended up enjoying it so much that I decided to draw out the V11 diagram in colour too. So, if any of you fine gentlemen would like a copy of this let me know. It’s been a tough year, that’s for sure, so no charge for this unless you’re feeling flush and want to punt a few quid my way. I’ve gained enough from this forum over the past few years not to feel greedy at all. Looking at a coloured diagram makes a tonne of difference. Anyway, let me know if you’d like a copy. 🙂 Stew

One easy check is the exhaust system itself. Especially check that either the port gaskets are a: present and, if so, b: not mullered. I only mention as my monza was baking on one side and it turned out the gaskets had perished- one side pretty much awol which resulted in a dreadful air leak.

These bikes like constant maintenance so buy the best one. The £££’s you’ll save could go toward a re-paint in any colour you like. Including a lovely dark dark black.

Hey up Steve, got a Hyperpro going wanting if you’re interested

Hey up Knumbnutz, one truly excellent source of information is Richardsons ‘Guzziology’. I was flicking through it only today and was interested to note that the 1100 Sports, and Daytonas, don’t have the rubber cush drives that the V11 do. Highly recommend it mate.

dunno, but i’d have eaten a kilo of dry cornflakes for one about a year ago

yes, it’s fine.

as a total electrical numpty, i forgot that where there’s electrical flow, there’s heat

ah ok, cheers doc!

Possibly a quick query for the leccy-minded chaps on the group: Someone was inferring on faceache that a bike (cali 1100i) that cut out when hot, but was fine when cool, may have dicky relays. I wondered- Why would that be a thing? Working when cold, but not when the bike’s hot? 🤔

similar shifting on mine- best practice for me is to pre-load the lever and make sure to maintain pressure after the shift into 3rd to stop it dropping back out. no probs when you get used to it!

Hi Bridge, I used those tarozzis for a while (Got them from Disco Volante in the correct size). Be aware that whilst they will fit, they don’t fit very well- for one thing the master cylinders prevent them from being orientated ‘square side forward’ properly. I had to use shims to space everything out, which wasn’t ideal at all, and also meant I ended up taking off the choke lever too. Having said that, I did use them for must’ve been a couple years once i got them where i wanted them. Oh and as they’re multi-adjustable, having to drop the sliders every time you change your mind is a ballache. I’ve currently got the Woodcraft high clips fitted and they’re ace. can’t fault them at all. Everything fits (inc the idle lever) and I have them clipped on at the very end of the flare between the yolks, with a few inches of slider free above to raise them if ever i feel the need. Can remove and refit in seconds too 🙂

i think i saw 120 once, but that’s without a fairing and chin down somewhere in the yolk!

although, on the pipe wrap thang: I had my kwakker headers all wrapped, and was most pleased with the funky look! But later, upon removal, was greeted with an absolutely dreadful cancerous wodge of metal beneath... like i’ve not seen metal in such a poor condition...

oh crap- bar-end mirrors are bad too?

this vid was, on the face of it (i’m no expert), an interesting analysis of the exhaust gas flow principles:

That looks great! Streets ahead of a lot of the awkward-looking custom v11’s I’ve seen over the years.

some people claim to be mad but have yet to be tested

No probs. I’ll nip down the garage and root them out.

It only takes a minute Grim, if you’re concerned about your neighbours you’re probably a ‘good neighbour’ yourself and hopefully they’ll understand? You could knock on and explain the reasons for the ensuing italian music. Incidentally, I think i have a few intake boots spare- if you’d like i could post a couple down to you?

ooo luvverly!

well idk neither... i looked down last week and saw one of my clipon bolts was missing... make you wonder about all those bolts you’ve messed with

rather a shame things turned out the way they did. And that’s not just the damage to my hearing...

Yes. If you want loud, these are your choice. I’ve actually just temporarily removed my carbon mistrals to refit the mivvs- just briefly, to remind myself how nice they sound! (The lhs one has bad rash from a spill 🙁) Without the dbk’s they are shockingly loud. I ended up cutting away at the dbk’s a bit to find a middle ground in the loudness. They are definitely my favourite sounding ‘silencer’, if you want an idea of how they sound, check this video out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5Rdq5Af7uo&app=desktop edit* skip to 2 mins in for soundcheck
