The Guzzi Rocket

The sounds between the beasts are different but equally as nice. I don't have a snorkel on my griso and it has 2-1 exhaust and my V11 has massive pods and velocity stacks so theyre both going to sound quite different to the norm

if taken to a shop that repairs speedos , they gently pry off the chrome ring and able to reuse it.
The alternative is ruining the ring and possibly breaking the glass... ask me how i know

Interesting. I was thinking Andreani lists their cartridge for the 43mm Marzocchi for the V11, but not the earlier Sports with the 40mm . . .
Plus, don't we have a member here that fitted the Andreani to his later V11?
edit: It appears @knumbnutz fitted Andreani to a V11:
I still have my old V11 cartridges, happy to measure them any way thats needed against the other pair to see if there are any differences or what the differences are.
I would expect that there is either no difference or a minor one that can be changed, ignored or adapted etc.
If someone has the other set, we can compare the gizzards

Question.. could you put a roadblock to joining until this goes away.
Add some detailed questions before they can join that only a Guzzisti would know?
It would be easier than deleting account after account and their posts wouldnt it?

So what forks did you install the Andreani units in? were they originally damper rod forks? black or silver stanchions? Year model? Andreani don't list carts for the earlier 99-2000 models I think due to the axle bracket fitting internally suited to the damper rod style fork.
Ciao
The forks were originally Black. The bike has a slightly checked history, apparently it was a Lemans and the owner removed the fairing so it was a naked when i got it. 2001 yr

It's my experience that when the sidestand switch fails, the default is to run, not stop the bike. At least that's the situation for both my Guzzis.

no not the switch but the sidestand not sitting on the switch properly all the time or actuating the switch.
I don't have one on my bike, but i know on my griso there is an inch of play which can foul it from getting into its proper position.. anyway, was just checking and easy enough to check while riding, just kick the sidestand into the bike if its conking out.

Are you 100% confident the sidestand switch and related wiring is good? Because when I put out the sidestand whilst in gear, she dies, however when I quickly enough flip the sidestand back (or the clutch), I can actually prevent her from dieing and it sounds like a misfire or ignition problem.
Yeah, Im wondering if the side stand sort of dislodges from the switch just enough to kill it and clutching it is enough to jar back.
It should be easy enough to kick the stand when it cuts out and this would rule it out definitely at least.
-
Could it be the side stand is not resting hard against the switch?My first thought was ignition switch, but when feathering the clutch brings it back to life? Hmmm.

I've got sort of the same thing, but it cuts out for 1/2 sec.
But... I had a TRX and it had was getting harder and harder to start. Every time I thought I found a reason it proved not to be it.
Eventually it was a fracture on the pcb of the ecu and once I was able to get another ecu it suddenly became an easy fix.
From that experience I would say you are doing all right things.

oh... its definitely an italian thing, a friend worked at a maserati/ferrari dealership and he often removed and painted the inside of the engines to stop porosity leaks
-
When i rebuilt my ducati engine, i wanted the cases painted and so the painter duly sand blasted the cases and painted the exterior. Looked superb too in purple pearl into an almost black main colour. .. anyways, he also sand blasted the interior casing paint off too that ducati use to stop porosity.
Before reassembly, i repainted the interior of the cases in a dull red paint specially designed for stopping pososity... can't remember the name but it was easy to come by nor cheap. But it did work a treat and the engine still goes well and doesnt leak after 6years.
