  1. What is a good option for an amateur to measure the AFR?
  2. I thought the reason they didn't use that engine in the V11 is because the engines were't lasting? Something about the alloy they were using? Also what is the power output from the V10 vs V11?
  3. I got a couple for the Guzzi and the Capo. They work great, I like the flashing feature. Unfortunately, I forgot that the Capo uses 2 in the tail light, so running one old LED and this new one, side by side. Easy to compare them...... The newer WAY better. Good find. Pic?

  4. I undid the 4 screws holding the TB. Two on top, two on the bottom. I'm taking the TB off so I can clean out out any debris from the operation. Using the supplied drill open up the hole slightly. Using the supplied countersink drill. Using the supplied tap thread the hole. Screw the insert onto the installer tool. Be sure to use a little oil so the insert comes off the tool easier. Screw the insert in until you feel resistance. Then keep going. This expands the insert and locks it in place. Then unscrew the tool. Finished fix. Vacuum and clean out the manifold before reassembly. You have now permanently fixed the manifold. As they say repeat on the other side.

  5. I got three keys with my bike. Two of them were still connected to each other.
  6. What does the crossover cost?
  7. If it was a part that never came apart it would be fine. But spark plug holes or these manifolds are constantly being used so the failure rate will be higher with the helcoil.
  8. Energy = heat No getting away from that. But because it's electronics it's just a matter of time before we have super powerful LED bulbs that are compact but I doubt we'll getting away from the cooling needs. What would be nice is variable speed cooling fans. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/20757/led-lighting-with-incandescent-spectrum
  10. So a Sucra will make noise in neutral? What is making the noise?
  11. You don't want White for the tail light. With LED you want the light to match the lens. I posted why on Wild Guzzi recently.
  12. Those cameras are less than $20 on Amazon. Cheaper than pulling the transmission off! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Are you running a separate headlight relay?
  14. What they don't show you is the wiring required for that light. Well, they show it but not attached.
  15. Ain't hard to figure out how much space you have in the bucket. But I'd be surprised if you had 35mm.
  16. I wouldn't recommend removing the spring, at least switch it out with the seat release one first. With the clutch lever pulled in you should hear rattles (twin plate). It should be quieter when in neutral with lever released.
  17. I like mine. Set the "choke" and let it idle for a minute or two. Then ready to go. I guess an automatic fast idle for cold starts was too much to ask in 2001?
  18. It's that kind of attitude (along with a sprinkle of greenie attitude) that makes this forum such a great place. "When you lose, don't lose the lesson." - generally attributed (although perhaps incorrectly) to Dalai Lama. Quotes are never incorrectly attributed on the internet. Ever.
  19. We learn as much from our mistakes as our successes. So if we only post our successes we're only learning half as much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. They don't technically have to.
  21. So the $20 bulb puts out 200 lumen and the regular one is 1850 and you're complaining? The blue/white is very effective at one thing, drivers seeing you.
  22. We need a better "new owner and forum member's checklist" otherwise known as "what you will get yelled at first about". 1. F'n Relays - docc 2. Winkie light - Kiwi_Roy 3. Why didn't you listen to the first two guys - Scud Something like that.
  23. I didn't know there was now a lumen and color requirement.
  24. So does it actually crossover or just kiss?
  25. The V11 bucket is about the same size as the 850T one. About 5in deep. For $20 you can confirm the bulbs I recommended work.
