Tom M Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 The folks at MCUSA apparently don't know a V11 from a Griso, nor can they read. http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Article_Page...4749&Page=2 They should have shown the Zero if they wanted a nice Griso based custom. Their naked 1098 Duc rumor is interesting though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Minnaert Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Is that a sump? That upside-down pyramid. Why is it shaped like that? Yes a sump, and thats all space left when the exhaust needed to go somewhere. They don't need the sump as cooling unit, because the engine has water and oil coolers.

Skeeve Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Is that a sump? That upside-down pyramid. Why is it shaped like that? So you can keep the oil level low & away from the crank w/o risking the oil pickup sucking air [ie: "Roper plates need not apply..."] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
