setting tappits on 04 V11

[dangerous]

6 yrs ago I brought my 1100i sport, I learned how to set the tappits myself, 4yrs ago I brought a VTR1000 and never needed to set anything, 2yrs ago I went back to MG... brought the V11 nero Corsa, and for those 2yrs the shop has done my maintance.

However the warantee is now up so I might as well go back to servicing the bike myself.

 

Fill in the blanks please people,

whats the clearances?

which markings on the flywheel do I use for which cyl's?

rotate the crank which direction?

anything else I need to know?

 

cheers ya all

Exactly the same as your Sport 11. It's the same engine

The owner's manual should specify some of the necessary information.

D = right

S = left

 

.002/.004" = US Spec

.004/.006" = World Spec

.006/.008" = some (including Yours Truly) personal preference (warmish climate)

.005/.007" = others, etc. . .

 

Sorry, I don't use metric on valves. . . but if you go 1/1.5 mm, you're off by an order of magnitude.

 

The crank rotates counter-clockwise as observed from the rider's seat.

Gee, it's sort of dangerous not to have that. Sorry, couldn't resist. Seriously, though, I bet you can find one online somewhere.

Adjust the valves when "stone cold."

 

Freshen your plugs up at the same time (the motor is lots easier to turn with them out). Use copper anti-seize on everything. Consider setting the TPS and balancing the throttle bodies for that complete freshly tuned effect.

nice ta,

TPS and ballancing... Id like that but your talking to a southern sheep shagger here, if you instruct me how in the slowest and simplest way... I might understand?

Funny how that works. When I'm looking for something, it's always in the last place I look.

Here's the best we've got : TPS and throttle balance
