Steam generator designed by Carlo Guzzi based on a drawing made in Polytechnic of his father Engineer Palamede Guzzi before 1905. The thermal machine dusted off by Guzzi and built by Graziano Trincavelli, nephew of «Feree» Giorgio Ripamonti, has a boiler that generates steam which transforms the pressure into the mechanical rotation efficiency of a flywheel which constitutes the drive for a dynamo which powered the house's electric light and the pump of a well which supplied running water in the two houses, that of the Guzzis and that of the engineer. Angelo Parodi at Piani dei Resinelli. The machine is not, as one might think, a model, but an actual working steam engine. All brass taps bear the «Guzzi» marking which demonstrates their origin. The second example was unfortunately demolished.

Just realized I needed to acknowledge @Skip's excellent tune on my throttle bodies. She purred like a big kitten on the way home. Thanks , man!

-OR- you can install a bleeder banjo bolt at the high point in the system, the clutch master. I did that and it eliminated the air problems. https://raceboltuk.com/titanium-c4/titanium-banjo-bolts-c1188/racebolt-titanium-banjo-bolt-m10-x-1-00mm-single-with-6mm-bleed-nipple-p45227#attribute[12]=163

I made the decision to shut the key off and kill the writer program. Once I reconnected it took the literal 5 seconds to upload as @Lucky Phil said. More importantly the 3k rpm stumble/cough is now non-existent which is exactly what I was shooting for!

The CO Fuel Trim is a minor player. More on that, if you wish. Probably best to make sure it is >zero< as a baseline.

I thought the same thing but I thought it would be blasphemy to say it !

saw Page & Plant play "How Many More Times" in 1998. It was a little more roots based IIRC. saw Zep play "Moby @#&#036;&#036;#&#33;" in 1970. Bonzo must've done 20 minutes. Green trap set wearing a matching tanktop. @KINDOY2 I know that Zep is a love'em or hate'em band. So I won't proselytize

Here I thought it was an industrial strength espresso machine . . .

For no reason I remembered this song from Umberto Tozzi and Monica Belucci; this came out in 1977 and became all the rage in France... During the vacations in the South, the whole camping had radios playing that song... listening to it today, it is obviously corny, but still, going back in time, I finally get it. You can sing it to your Monica Guzzi too!

Yes sir. I printed out and followed the instructions to the letter. It was a fairly small adjustment bring it back in spec, but as stated the idle is about perfect now after the 'tune-up'.

It seems the proper term is " giallo " . . . (pronounced: JAHL-oh )

Ho avuto la possibilità di vederne il meccanismo…semplice ma geniale!!! I had the chance to see the mechanism...simple but brilliant!!!

The writing literally takes 5 seconds. Phil

That seems like a lot of voltage drop. Still could be ignition switch and/or dodgy connectors in the harness. Just getting the battery voltage up, does the tail light give any glow or the turn signals try to wink?

Charged battery for a few Battery 13.1 Fuses 6 12.2 Fues 7 12.3

dont have a test light unfortunatly I will test battery and check voltage

I finally went with the unbreakable one from HMBmoto in Germany . . .

6 11.6 7 11.8

You know before you get done , you will have your bike in the kitchen or living room with your wife holding the test light and voltmeter . and sorry , my electronics instructor always said "B +" and I have maintained that term .

Will check other lights referenced

@dbarb3, this requires no test light, just look. Are all of these lit except the tail light? Or are they all out?

On early V11 SpineFrames (1999-2001), Fuse #8 was for the electric fuel petcock which reverted to a manual petcock in 2002, and the last fuse position went unused. Or "available", if you wish. My Fuse 8 operates mySport's Go_Winkie that monitors the power feed to that side of the wiring harness (Fuses 3-7) with the exception of the separate wiring harness for fuel/injection/ECU (Fuses 1 & 2, Relays 4 & 5).

I haven't done it yet (no not that, playing with the map...) but I've read a lot about it, and spoken to Beard, author of Guzzidiag, about it. You need Tunerpro only if you want to alter your map. Reading it out is done with IAW reader, and flashing a new map is done with IAW writer. What you didn't mention: make really sure your battery is good, particularly when writing. Better still, connect a charger. Also make sure your laptop will last the distance. Better still, use the power supply. If something (bike or computer) runs out of power whilst writing, you risk turning your ECU into an attractive paper weight.

Can't open the link. Cheers Tom.

Carlo Guzzi memorial. Centre of Mandello.

Uhhh . Blue/Maize . Michigan Wolverine colors. I'm sorry , I had to look to be sure

Thanks for checking in, @Skip! Fascinating train history. great to know it has been restored and plying the rails, once again . . . https://www.up.com/cs/groups/public/@uprr/@newsinfo/documents/up_pdf_nativedocs/pdf_up_media_4014_fact_sheet.pdf

Man, I first caught a glimpse of that pic and thought: what was Jeff Bridges doing there?

Sadly, 'could not make the Southern Spine Raid this year, but went for a long ride in solidarity Sunday, ending at my friend's cigar shop, who captured my arrival with a decent photo. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

Purchased another V11 ! Pick it up at the weekend. This one compliments the Rosso Corsa, ie. another “limited edition” model Here’s a clue …

Best regards to all Twentieth South'n Spine Raiders ! What a great bunch of people, fabulous roads, terrific weather, and proper TechSessions (without anything too dramatic) !

Anyone crossing The Appalachian Divide should know that "feels like 90º" on The Plains (of Tellico) can "feel like" the upper 40ºs on The Cherohala after a little dampness/shower/fog/cloud ceiling with wind chill at speed. FWIW, I am using the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) and other storm focused weather apps. Places like The Weather Channel™ are, IMO, entertainment focused and will show you a snowflake every chance they get. Snowflakes sell. Meteorology a dull box of cloudy uncertainty. Yet . . . The Cherohala cloud ceiling is real . . .

All good. But I am always mindful that God doesn’t watch Weather Channel. Bill

Days away to SSR XX . . . mySport is wiped down and battery "conditioned." All the boxes are ticked, plus a few that had to be decisively left alone. "Set down the tools, docc, and step away from the Sport !!", (Waddington said). Parc fermé . . .

Hope you can, I like that Yellow 1100 Sport.

I still have to collect the bimmer from Michigan, via Rte. 66. May as well pass by Virginia on the way out, since there's nothing between Michigan and St. Louis I want to see again.

Lordy, that was painful to read. The SSR will not be the same without you. You might note that Moto Grappa is way closer than Alaska. Seriously, come visit. Best wishes for a better 2025. Bill

Great news about Kathy! Drinking whiskey out of Dixie cups is … well … so Tennessee. Bill

I know you're getting up there in years but surely you haven't forgotten what a bikewash really is?

I figured we were doing brands like the Real Men at John Day. I'll be in line right behind @80CX100 . . . Best I could find, but gonna need to step up twice . . .

Hmmm.

After close review of gstallons original request, I find myself less enthusiastic about " riding 'his' anus" to get there (bring tools). Would a real pretty RSVP card do? 💌😁
