It's the "type 2." It cost about $40. Notice, though, it's for the earlier, single-cable throttle set ups. I don't know what the 2003's have.

I own both a GT1000 and V11 and I can say the Ducati is definitely a "sportier" bike in that it accelerates faster and requires less effort to get it to perform and I am not as tired after a day of hard riding. I also find that I am roughly 10mph more confident in the twisties with the GT. That being said, I appreciate riding the Guzzi precisely because it requires greater effort and provides "exaggerated" feedback compared with the Duc -- engine rumble, brake feel, momentum in the corners, seating position,etc. I just feel like I'm melding with the bike more. Plus, it feels better planted.

"I know you are, but what am I?" I'll bet you learned that in Junior High too. Naw. No obsession. Just amazement at seeing you obsessively stroke your ego in public. If I live to get dementia in my nineties, I suppose that's fine with me.

RH: Doc, I seem to be experiencing blurry vision. Doctor: When did you first notice this problem? RH: What problem? Doctor: You said your vision was getting blurry. RH: But I never said I was having a problem. Doctor: Then why are you here? RH: Because I've got a round tuit. Sheesh! Why must I suffer fools and idiots? Doctor: Hmmm. Interesting. Blurry vision, eh? How frequently do you masturbate?

A semantic distinction? :lol: :lol: You win. You're king of the thread.

How do you experience "symptoms of less than accurate sensor operation" unless it was detected in the "way [your] Guzzi was running?" Did you remove the sensor and test it independently? What, aside from experiencing a problem, would prompt you to do this? In any case, what is the genius-level distinction? That your Guzzi is one entity and the sensor is a separate entity and therefore a problem with the sensor is not a problem with your Guzzi? What about the ECU map that was made with the sensor? Is the ECU also a separate entity? How many things can we remove without actually getting to the bike proper? Or, are you simply refusing to classify the above as a "problem" and are thus:

Someday this thread is going to end...

My two cents: I actually find this thread interesting and have learned a lot from it. The problem (in a nutshell) is an inaccurate sensor and subsequently inaccurate map. Judging from the Tuneboy data, the problem is especially egregious with the early models, like ours. Not as much with the later models. So, a person may address the inaccuracies on a later model only to have their solution cause bigger problems for someone with an earlier one, which is what I think happened (a lot of the conflict here likely stems from this). What’s good for the goose is not necessarily good for the other goose. So, I applaud RH’s quest for a more accurate sensor. It makes sense to me. That still leaves the ECU. If he also comes up with a method of re-mapping the ECU (good luck with that) he will be hero of the beach as far as I’m concerned. In the meantime, we’re still stuck with the same mapping problem. Thus, for now, a (perhaps slightly) more accurate sensor arrangement (brass and goo) and a good Powercommander map works very well; perhaps RH's sensor holder and a PC map would work even better. I've already paid for the other solution so I'm not going to worry about it right now. This thread has been very helpful in fine-tuning the low rpm range of my custom map, so, thanks RH. Jason at MI recently said that my bike was the best running V11 he’s ridden. In any case, I think RH should keep at it. I also think he wouldn’t experience nearly so much resistance if he didn’t precede much of what he writes with a diatribe on what a genius he is and how stupid everybody else is.

I had a great uncle who was suffering from dementia. At family functions he would frequently try to participate in the conversation. The things he said were often interesting and they seemed relevant; sometimes he appeared totally normal -- until he unzipped his slacks and began to masturbate. You remind me of him.

So, to sum up: Once upon a time, RH had a 2000 V11 that ran perfectly with no problems, so he worked tirelessly for months to not-solve this non-problem, in the face of overwhelming ridicule by a legion of fools who didn't understand the principles of junior-high physics until he finally succeeded in not-solving a problem he wasn't having. And now his bike runs perfectly with no problems. Although, he concedes that if he actually were having a problem, he'd add the goo and get a better map. Why can't you idiots understand that?

Puh-leez. You were too stupid to get a proper map for your Powercommander and so you hooked up a knob to your bike to fiddle with resistance. This seems backwards to me, but whatever, you're having fun. In any case, it does not make you Copernicus. If consensus is that the sun revolves around the earth and you say the earth revolves around the sun, then you are a genius. If consensus is that the earth revolves around the sun and you say otherwise, then you are a moron.

This stuff worked like a dream: Results:

Okay, I sent my PCIII map to Jaap, so you guys can check it out when it's posted. But yes, the left side is getting way more fuel than the right. I'd be curious to know why there's an imbalance. Anyway, here's a pic of my headers as well. The black is a high temp silicone spray that helps keep out the moisture and grime:
