Twentieth (XX!) South'n Spine Raid 2024
docc replied to Admin Jaap's topic in Meetings, Clubs & Events
The Lodge at Tellico has announced new innkeepers. Looks like the transition will be seamless . . . Best wishes to Bryan and Catherine and welcome Ken and Viki ! -
I'm sorry, I have not asked Mikko's surviving family about any of his property. I think it is still a bit soon after his sudden passing in January . . .
-
Certainly not in the USA. Did Australia get any Lambda V11?
-
"Pro Tip!"
-
I always hated these because I did not have the right tool for them. Plus, I did not think they are reusable (?)
-
Egg on my face, too. Another good catch, @Speedfrog! The CIT linked in the Best Relay thread answer are the correct 12V CIT. The Pickers Components noted by Speedfrog have slightly better current ratings, especially for the early V11 Sport's #1 Relay/NC contact position:
-
Edit: As noted by @Speedfrog, you had the wrong/24V product listed in your post: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/cit-relay-and-switch/A11CSQ24VDC1-2D/12502798?s=N4IgTCBcDaIIIEYEGEDKBFMAWAagEWQQDow8ACEAXQF8g [Welldone, @Speedfrog!]

Inspect the connectors in the relay bases for looseness. If they need tightening, @Kiwi_Roy gave us a procedure:
-
Actually, it is the brake light affected (with the headlight, horn, tach, and charging) by this relay issue. The tail light is on the non-relay circuit with the running/"city" light and the instrument illumination.
-
I think that is "mis-leading." When you work through the Decent Tune-up, I suspect you will find the valves off, perhaps one quite tight. If Shrödinger's cat set your CO at -90, I wonder where he thought he set your TPS . . .
-
As V11 go, the Coppa Italia is arguably the ultimate eye candy. Ballabio in a Mardi Gras dress with dancing shoes . . .

Hmm, maybe not. The MSRP on my 2000 Sport was $11,997US. I got a little discount since I looked like a potential Beta-tester. This reference gives the MSRP of the 2004 Coppa Italia at $14,590US: https://www.motorcycle.com/specs/moto-guzzi/standard/2004/v11/coppa-italia/detail.html#!

This is classic Relay#2 (complicated by Relay#1) failure. This compromises the tach and the charging reference.What variety of relays are under the seat, @motoguzzikc? Replace all your relays with the currently available High Current 5-pin referenced in this thread answer:
-
Didn't the entire V11 range 1999-2005 stay about $11,000-12,000US regardless of the model?
-
I see no mention of setting the TPS baseline...
-
Ah, yes: #16 x 2 (one per head?) and #21 [O RING-VITON (#90706094)] x8 (four per head?) . . . The #16 is the likely culprit.
-
As gstallons said, #16 in the diagram, O RING (#90706203):

I added you to the list, but it is not hard: just fill in your name, quantity, and location on the list in the Original Post, and refresh the page. No need to even "Sign In." P6x has made this so easy! @FreyZI's "1+" quantity seems vague . . .

A V11Lemans.com theme song? "I get by with a little help from my friends " . . .

Hoping to learn more about the origins of the Moto Guzzi SpineFrame, this publication does not disappoint! All this time, I thought the original Spine Frame was a "Daytona" 8V Hi-cam. Not so! The first SpineFrame Guzzi, the V11 Sport prototype so-to-speak, was this 1987 2V. Also, the first SpineFrame: "Made in America!"
-
No mention of CO setting, TPS setting, or throttle body balance. Highly recommended baseline procedure:

As of august, 2004, @Paul Minnaert had reported four of these failures. Bad production run? Unknowable. Yet it seems that if the problem affected all of the V11 aluminum flywheels, we would have seen about two failures every year for the last twenty years.
