Waiting on my New-to-Me '03 V11 Naked Sport...

[Rhino1]

Hi all. I'm waiting on the delivery of an '03 V11 Naked Sport that I am buying. Doing a bit of research, it looks like I might have an '02 titled as an '03 (no crossover in front, pad on the tank, Veglia gauges, etc). Apart from the paint on the engine, are there other things I need to be wary of? It has just over 10k miles and has been meticulously maintained.

 

Upgrades include a Misrtral exhaust, crossover pipe, PCIII, and proper bars in place of the clip ons.

 

I'm very excited about this goose. I had an '07 Griso a couple years ago, but was not happy with the slop in the dive train. The '04 cafe sport I rode a few months ago displayed very little lash, so I'm hoping this '03 is similar.

 

I'm currently in Southern California.

Hi, Rhino! Sweet looking V11 and you're in the right place (here!) to help make her "just so."

 

You are right about the '02-'03 holdover. Do a search (by "relevance"/ not "last update") on 2002 LeMans issues. There are a couple really thorough threads on what to be aware of.

 

Otherwise, looks like it comes with some nice extra goodies. It's always telling to page through the workshop manual and see what sections the thumbprints are in!

That bike looks good, maybe add some bar ends

You're getting the bike out of Colorado Springs ? http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/3186344338.html

 

I'd like to know what brand rear stand is being used. i wrote the seller asking about the stand, he did not reply.

 

the stand "appears" to be a Lockhart Phillips..... ?

Yes, that's the one. And although I'm not getting the stand, that's an LP stand with the standard "pads" for the swing arm.

 

Thanks for the tips/advice--I'll definitely look up the '02 Le Mans issues posts for more in depth stuff.
