Change Oil... Keep riding... maybe wipe a few bugs off.

 

Oh and Build the exhaust for the Ducati...

I have a set of FBF pistons I bought from Antonio for half the original price. I'll send my heads for overhaul and pop the pistons in. I also found a good dyno guy that I trust will make the best of the lot next spring, and I'll try mapping it for E85 just for the hell of it. It will not be flexifuel nor environment friendly, just max power. I'll need to up the fuel pressure or fit larger injectors. If I ditch the E85 idea I'll send the present injectors for cleaning instead.

 

New steering damper is on the list too as well as a full set of new brake pads. Possibly brake lines too, she's over 12 years old now. Oh, and a front tyre. Oh yeah, and a new LED tail light. The clear-glass one I've got ruins the look. Money money money :huh:

V11 LeMans: Νew Ohlins springs (where will I order really?) for the fork and oil change too.

I am putting new seals/bushings in the front (Marzocchi) forks. After looking at the invoice yesterday I am going to have to rob a bank first thing Monday morning.........

Posted

I suppose I should change the oil...

There's a set of Wilbur's springs that could be put in, but frankly, I'm pretty happy with the way it rides now. Excellent time to park it, I guess. :glare:

V11- good cleaning, oil change.

Aprilia - Ohlins rear shock. oil change. maybe new mufflers, maybe.

BMW - oil change, check valves, t-body sync, abs, brake & clutch fluid flush, brake pads if needed. trans & rear end fluid change. tires.

Husky - jet carb, oil change.

 

I hope that's it......

After a run on the Mk3 Lemans yesterday, investigate the concrete mixer sounds from the transmission, had to abandon it!! Hopefully just the UJ exploded. The V11's fine but away in its giant poly bag for winter! :D

Everything in the manual for a 12k service, paint the bevel box, New cans, though the jury is still out between these from OS pipes and a set of carbon cans from Quill.

Those reverse megs would be unique. They are a bit narrow and polished for the V11's muscular lines though.

I'm a fan of the carbon cans, but then again I'm biased. ;)

It's the highly polished finish that puts me off if I'm honest. The quills come with an optional set of carbon end caps that will compliment the bike. Here abouts there should be a picture of a Kwacker fitted with the can I'd like to put on the V11.
