The Pilgrim Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Alright Guzzisti? I think I have a fuelling issue with my V11. The bike takes a while to Idle after starting but runs really well when warm. On a recent trip I was reaching 35mpg and the plugs are BLACK. I don't think I need told this isn't right but my dilemma is who do I take it to to get it set up? At the moment its running a full Termi system and as I don't know whats been done im ok with a complete overhaul! I live in NI and we haven't a guzzi dealer locally so would be keen to hear of any reccomendations whether franchised dealer or not? I would be ok with a ferry ride to Scotland as can make a trip outa it? Looking forward to your replies Gerry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Sounds like she could be running better for sure. That's 35 miles per Imperial gallon? I thinking that's like 42 mpg-US and far better than I get. Best to start with a complete tune-up. This FAQ thread will take you through the process: TPS Set-up and Throttle Balance Tuning Then, we'll go from there!

The Pilgrim Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Cheers for the advice lads, most of the local dealers have a sharp intake of breath through gritted teeth when I mention Guzzi. Still working through your options and will keep you up to date! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
