Pierce the bubbles with a needle and see if any water comes out. If it does then its a fuel/water in the fuel issue. If it's just air under the decal then its a decal adhesion issue. Ciao

well that's pertinent

I use these, they hold enough for me and are super light and work just fine, I went from LA to SF and back on my V11using these. They also come easily on and off. So you can kind of roll up, un-velcro them and you are all set. https://touratech-usa.com/Store/Touratech-Waterproof-MOTO-Waterproof-Saddle-Bags

What came out chuck, air or water? Ciao

The decals lift because the tank is affected by ethanol fuel so you need to factor in drying out the tank and getting it lined. Or a replacement tank. Ciao

I’m just 8 miles from streffords went to see the bike a few weeks ago and they said nothing about the tank bubbles, never seen one that bad, made an offer on the bike but they turned it down, if I bought it my plan was to have the decals removed and just paint it red, apart from the tank it’s a really nice bike

Driveshaft lubing today. Got to hear that satisfying squidg sound of grease squeezing out of the front U-joint

Will do this over winter. Fairly easy to check. Thanks docc! Kiwi-Roy: "I have helped dozens of owners with Startus Interuptus, some other models suffer worse e.g. the CARC models that the wire from the relay to the solenoid is really tiny, it would be ok if the current was only ~10 Amps but its a real choke point for 40 Amps, my 07 Griso operated 3 x as fast just by increasing the wire to a No 18. Of course on the later 8 Valve bikes the wiring is even worse, they choked the current through the switch again." Thanks Roy, I will have to look at this condition on my 2016 Norge. It "cranks" with a good battery no problem but just doesn't seem to have much "umphh". Ahh, the life of owning Moto Guzzi's ... the work list is rapidly outnumbering the Honey-Do list!
