Changed leaking oil line to the oil cooler.

That's where Dorothy came from, isn't it? Maybe he's a friend of hers.

Hi Kuni0, my guess is that the fuse is doing exactly what it is designed to do, and you've got a short circuit somewhere. Not a bad ground, much more likely a wire that carries 12V with damaged insulation, or something like that. This indicates strongly that the problem is under the tank. Start looking there, and you're looking for a spot where the tank sits on or rubs against the wiring loom, quite likely where the loom is pinched between the tank and the frame.

His name is Low Ride Mike...any relation?

I wasn't even talking about the V11, even a modern Guzzi with Mistrals would sound better than anything on that list.

supposed to be here Thursday, thanks for letting me know that it's likley true

My two cents... Most front forks in my experience tighten the front wheel up against on leg of the fork, with the other leg sort of floating to an extent on the axle until it is clamped to the axle. The axle typically has a step in it on the end opposite the nut side, that step pulls the wheel towards the other fork leg where the nut is. That design allows the fork legs to both be straight without being pinched towards each other when you tighten the front wheel. For that reason, I generally want to tighten the axle nut first, and then the pinch bolts that clamp the bottom of the fork legs to the axle. That avoids any chance of pinching the fork legs inward towards each other with most fork designs.

My Italian is not so good, but doesn't that translate "Fast & Lusty ?" Reminds me of a girl I dated in college . . .

Hello everyone, it's seems that I'm here yet again for my yearly forum ask for something I can't troubleshoot on my 2013 Stelvio NTX. The problem I'm having this time is that whenever I turn on the ignition, the 10A fuse in the block near the steering head pops. I first noticed the issue several weeks ago when I started the bike and realized the headlights (and Aux lights) weren't working anymore. I replaced the fuse and it worked for about 2 min before popping again. Since then I've been down the rabbit hole. 1. I thought it might be 'startus interuptus' coming to finally get me even though I had fused the Aux lights some time ago. But checking the main (30A?) fuses on the right side panel showed them to be good. 2. I disconnected the headlights and Aux lights and it still pops the fuses every time I turn on the ignition. 3. Got new relays and replaced the ones for starting and lights logic (2x of the special 4 pin) 4. I got the guzzidiag on it, read the error codes and found a P0170 error (no electrical signal). I traced the wires from the ignition to a connector on forward, right side of the bike near the ABS control unit. I cleaned it with some contact cleaner, put some di-electric grease on it (and the other connects in that area) and fitted the tank on just enough to get the engine running. That seemed to have done the trick with the headlights and Aux lights working and the battery charging. But as soon as I properly remounted the gas tank (tightened it down) it continues to pop fuses again every time I turn on the ignition. 5. Took off and on the starter motor, checking the grounds underneath it. No change. At this point I'm out of ideas. My instinct tells me that there's likely some ground connection with the ignition that isn't working properly, whether that's with the connector underneath the tank or some other ground wire I haven't identified. If you have some ideas or advice, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance

And both of you failed to mention the bit about bouncing the forks a couple of times before you do the pinch bolts up. If you can do that without using the brakes to help, better still. The point is to work it a couple of times to make sure the forks are really sitting where they want to be.

BTW- Kansas Plates

As it goes back together, I have to review a *lot* of material on here, which didn't always sit in a space in my brain because it wasn't all relevant to my 1100 Sport.

Would love to have seen images of that, sounds really interesting. Both my morinis came from North Leicester. Stuart retired a few yrs back and his son took over and rebranded as Lusso Veloce

3 1/2 morini 🤤🤤 would love to have one in garage, i did have its last incarnation, a 350 Dart which looked like a baby paso, and its much larger brother a 9 1/2, which was a 1200 and not a 950

This "safety washer"is what failed on my gearbox input hub. The hub would "walk off" and there would be no clutch engagement. Then spin back on like nothing had happened. Good to know these are standard industry items and the sockets are also available outside of "Moto Guzzi Special tools." Failed retention: Repurposed failed Safety Washer as sidestand index. Seems all bight-eyed and smiles there . . .
