yes ,to ride no problem but it might well cause wear quicker on other parts . Funny enough the injector model is well better and easier to ride than the carb model but the funny thing is the carb model is the one that makes you feel on top of the world when ridden well for your abilitySmile

ohh I dunno the V11 with a 6 speed super slick gearbox and fitted with a Stucchi x over and "Bellisimo" pipes they are real smooth and go soooo well I have ridden a sport carb , mind it was a bit off low revs and stuttered a fair bit it was nice sounded brilliant when opened up but the stretch to the bars was just too much for me I waited until the V11 Le Mans came along and well I was in lust , the improvements are really noticeable the 6 speed gearbox is the slickest I have used since the Quaife 5 speed one I paid a small fortune for on my Norton Commando, I adore the Hydraulic clutch action and the FI throttle it makes it all light and so easy to use I find it all day comfortable too due to the VFR like riding position I fitted a flipped up screen as I found the wind blast hurt the neck after a good blast BUT then I have a long body and short legs so maybe others would not need it, the fairing keeps all the weather off the rider Guzzi really got these bikes spot on I reckon and they DO deserve the "Le Mans" label
