V11S Canbus

[BrianG]

I cannot find any reference to this question anywhere here,  so simply, do the V11 series utilize a Canbus control system for fueling or any other onboard system?

AFAIK, and if I understand CANBUS at all, there is none on the V11.

Only the ECU/ "CPU" and various sensors.

Smarter people than I will be along that can speak that language more fluently . . .

Are you looking for trouble or an opportunity?

(I grew up thinking that was the same thing . . .

No can bus on V11.

I'm looking to avoid trouble .  Canbus makes me crazy in my 2004 Thunderbird, and I'm not interested in reproducing that trouble on a motorcycle.

I think you are in luck with the V11 - there is only the Central Processing Unit ("ECU").

No. If you want can bus you have to get a Break My Wallet.

No secret that the Beemer guys call it "Can't Buzz."

Back in the day, a SoCal Beemer mechanic I knew decided to put on some aftermarket lights. I'm not sure if he ever got it going again..

As bad as electro-f'ck-icity can be, electro-f'ck-onics are otherworldly . . .

We might need a T-bird thread . . .

No canbus on a v11 Sport. It's basic old tech electronics.

There is nothing hi-tech about a MG electrical system . 

 This reminds me of a story concerning a VERY old garage in Wickliffe run by two very old mechanics . A buddy of mine said " the only thing hi-tech about Dreamy Haynes was an 8 volt battery ".
