Well, it's that time of year again. Join us for the Georgia Moto Guzzi Campout at Two Wheels of Suches, on September 22,23, and 24. Great roads, great food, your favorite motorcycles, and some of the best people I have ever met. TWOS has a great atmosphere and is run by fantastic people, including Bill, Carol, Skip, and the rest of the hard working crew. https://twowheelsofsuches.com/

For those of you rolling the north Georgia roads, @buellish1 reminds us about the restaurant at TWOS in Suches on GA HWY 60 . . https://twowheelsofsuches.com/restaurant/ Check out the thread buellish1 just posted about the Georgia Moto Guzzi Campout, Sept. 22-24:

Some nice slide and bass...good sounds!

In my experience, I found those pressures resulted in undesirable wear. I have had best outcomes with 2.4/2.8 bar , front/rear (35/40 psi). Mind you, this is a short frame Sport 120/70 front, 160/60 rear always with the panniers loaded and ridden like a jack rabbit on hot lava. YMMV!

Luciano Marabese was quoted as saying the "Centauro was drawn from the Dondolino ." The design never made sense to me until learning this.

I think he should realize that 18 years of professional racing experience cannot compete with 18 years of professional couch assessment. Kidding aside, he did provide a truth that many professional couch viewers don't know. The front shake moving your caliper pistons leaving you with no brakes at first. You need to pump them to regain braking. That he did not broadside either Gagné or Beaubier was a miracle.... he should recognize that.

(In best Elvis voice) Thank ya very much! I'm on kind of a roll with this electrical stuff. For the ever necessary voltage check via the SAE charging cable:

Nicely done, @po18guy! So, those connectors plug directly into the multimeter? Tidy!

Given the fine direction provided by the IllumiGuzzinati, here is the TPS harness all dressed with multimeter connectors attached and the yellow terminated with liquid electrical tape and tucked into the harness.

Bad TPS is not easily seen by a reading or even watching the progression of millivolts through its range. Much more likely to discover a bad spot in the TPS using Ohms in a very low range and watching the values slowly opening and closing the TPS. If the value jumps, skips, hesitates or goes open, the TPS should be replaced. The resistance value should change very smoothly all up and down the range from closed to open and back.
