Rossopuro's little beautiful reaction rod in red anodized aluminium. Never used. Found it in a package when cleaning out the storage. Bikes sold years ago. It seems to be out of production so I am unsure what to ask for it... can I get 150 euros?

First time playing with Guzzidiag. Saved a copy of the map, then used Tunerpro to turn the Lambda probe off. Reloaded the map and CO has changed from -128 to "0". Yay it worked. Set TPS to 157mv following the "Decent Tune Up" instruction. It was 80mv. Balanced the Throttle bodies with the Motion Pro tool. They were a little out. Set the idle and now ready to go. Prior to this I had set the valves and installed new plugs. So once I have repaired the headlight lens retaining screw setup I will be back on the road after a long period of maintenance. The bike should run a hell of a lot better now. I have a PCIII sitting on the shelf so now the Lambda is turned off I may use this and get adjusted on the dyno. This has my first time playing with the TPS and TB's. I have always carried out all other maintenance on my bikes and I have owned a few Ducatis

https://www.moto.it/news/nico-cereghini-il-museo-guzzi-sara-bellissimo.htmlTranslation by Google:Nico Cereghini: "Will the Guzzi museum be beautiful?"November 2, 2020 - The Piaggio Group Board of Directors approved theredevelopment project of the Moto Guzzi museum and the entire productionarea of Mandello. It will be a famous archistar to take care of it.Even if there is no other news for now, fans rejoiceHello everyone! At the end of September, when I anticipated that MotoGuzzi's 100th birthday would be celebrated in 2021 (read the article),many of you raised the theme of the Mandello museum. It is tooneglected, several comments criticized, "it's a shame!" some directlyaccused. Well, I want to give you some good news: even the president andtop management of the Piaggio Group realize that the museum is not up topar. And now the board of directors has approved the redevelopment project.There are no precise figures or times, but the resolution is a fact: itwas decided that the works will begin next year and will cover theentire area of the Mandello Lario plant, from production to theoffices and halls of the museum. It is also known that the project wasentrusted to Greg Lynn, American architect and designer, member of theUnited States Artists, awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in2008 and many other international awards; and who is also CEO of PiaggioFast Forward, the team of innovators “which aims to build lightweightmobility platforms that offer innovative solutions for the movement ofpeople and goods”. In short, a beautiful head already involved in the group.What matters is that, although times are not exactly ideal, those whohave the fate of Guzzi in their hands seem determined to invest millionsof euros in the prestige of the brand. Even the mayor of MandelloRiccardo Fasoli, on the pages of Corriere della Sera, is delighted withthe good news, rumors have been circulating for months and theratification of the board of directors is the expected turning point.For Mandello it is a panacea, the museum has always attracted Italianand foreign enthusiasts, but above all we understand that such aninvestment means that the company will remain here, on the lake where itwas born a century ago and where the history of motorcycles was made.I believe, and I am certainly not the only one, that no museum in theworld could come close to that of the Moto Guzzi, once it has beenrethought and recreated. There are other even older houses - Gilera isfrom 1919, the first Harley is even from 1903 - but the eagle house hasan absolutely unique history. It is enough to mention a symbol such asthe famous wind tunnel: here in Mandello technical innovation andcreativity have been breathed, the most extraordinary successes ininternational races have been built before world-wide. Men of enormoustalent met on the shore of the Lario, names like Omobono Tenni, BrunoRuffo or Giulio Cesare Carcano with his incredible Otto cylinders: noother brand has reached this high.I don't know this Greg Lynn, one of the ten most influential architectsin the world for Forbes magazine. But I already envy him. If he has abit of passion for motorcycles, imagining and designing the Moto Guzzimuseum will be a magnificent adventure for him. --

Agreed with Pete, though to be clear the “universally rich” descriptor should probably be qualified as applying (presumably) to our subject-matter V11’s. Some bikes of that vintage from other makes did run too lean, and while it’s true that it’s too crude to say they were simply lean or rich, I have seen these band-aid devices work to great effect on some bikes. In my case was on a bike that didn’t have an open ecu (at the time), and it ran consistently bad from being too lean, despite all kinds of various ways/attempts to tune around it. An O2 tricking gizmo instantly transformed the machine, dramatically, and 77k miles later I sold it and the new owner is motoring on with it happily over 100k, with the caveman enrichener. I gather such simple options would be a non-starter for our V11’s, for multiple reasons, but as Pete said they have the open ecu, tools, and maps available.

That would be my guess. Or, they simply ran out of left-facing eagle decals and didn't feel like having more made up. The left-facing eagle was sort of an odd one, given that the "standard" version faces right, regardless of where the logo appears. Note that not ALL Sport 1100s ended up with the rear-facing eagle... just those produced during a particular time window (it seems... actually, I'm not sure about that). Its also possible that they had some branding person decide that the only "valid" logo was the typical right-facing one. Just another one of many Mandello Mysteries. __Jason

To save $0.25 on printing is my Guess.."Thrifty" Lads they are!!!.......lol

The hanging panels are awesome! Thanks for offering them here, Gregg!

I had some fun leafing through Mario Colombo's excellent book, Moto Guzzi - The Complete History from 1921, and was surprised to see the number of rear facing eagles. And not just on the older, pre-Vtwins. Incidentally, all the rear flyers I saw were on the left . . . Another Guzzi myth busted!

Any shitty old laptop running an old version of Windoze will run GD, Reader and Writer just fine. You'll need the cables to connect to the bike. There are numerous threads on a host of boards about loading the programs and running them. Actually making changes to the map cannot be done with the Guzzidiag suite of tools. To do that you need to use one of the programs like Tunerpro where you can open the map and alter it. For most people, myself included, this is not something I care to undertake simply because there are others who enjoy it more than and also are immeasurably better at it than I ever would be! The results of their labours though can be easily installed using 'Writer' and if you don't like them then you can simply reinstall your original map which you will of saved with 'Reader'. The thing is these add on widgets that corrupt the sensor signals are not only very, very crude but because they only offer a 'Blanket' alteration of the map although it may improve fueling at certain points it can make other parts of the map damagingly wrong. There is NOTHING to be gained with one of them that can't be improved on markedly by using a properly built and designed map. That means one that isn't built by someone who believes that the maps are 'Made lean to pass emissions' because they aren't, they are almost universally rich!
