    Grrrreenie - the long and whining roar

    Hi folks!

    The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated, just like ol' Mark Twain said. All is good. I have been away from this splendid forum way too long. Hiatus is over, I hope. 

    Not too many trips with Mizz Greenie so far. She runs like a dream, except for the occasional coughing at +/- 3500rpm. Last time I tried to hook up GuzziDiag it failed. I will try again. Would love to load Meinolf's map onto my 15M ECU

    I hope you all are well and having a good time.

    What did you do to your V11 today?

    I remember struggling to see [mention=10500]Pressureangle[/mention]'s images before and found a work around. Can't seem to figure it out this time. They are some kind of "google user content?"
    Apparently, some members can see them?

    Since buying the bike, I have been making small changes that better suit me. Motobits pegs are in a box, as are the H&B bags and rack. Brought the bars down, added some Ken Sean bar-end mirrors and adjustable shorty levers. LED headlamp and signals - the taillight was LED when I bought it. But the Staintunes were at the stock height and width - good for passengers and bags, but a little vulnerable in slow maneuvering and backing. So, examining the lead-in pipe, it appeared to me that the cans could be slid a little further onto the X-over and then the entire unit rotated up and in at the rear. Did a test repositioning and it looked plausible. Kinda mid-mount. This pic shows the difference.

    For hangers, what I settled on were some M5 stainless marine closed body turnbuckles. Rated at 900 Kg/1980 Lbs, I figured they were up to the task of suspending a 4 Lb can. A little cutting, grinding, heating and bending, enlarging the mount holes from M5 in stages to M7.5 and hand filing with a round file so an M8 bolt would just slip through, leaving a bit more meat around the bolts. Then dug out the white buffing compound and shined them up.

    Snugged them up and the install leaves the bike looking a little cleaner, and lighter (almost ANYTHING will do that!). A less homely rear hugger is next.  Overall, I'm pleased and I can even hear the music slightly better now.

    Nice hangers on a beautiful bike!

    Thanks, guys. I'm planning to mount a steel angle behind the 6mm nut and fastening the hose with a stainless steel-rubber clamp to keep the line away from the crossover. 

    Next up is to mount a SparkBright Eclipse voltage monitor. I did that for another V11 owner today after replacing his defective regulator with a direct connected Shindengen MOSFET regulator. Made a 12mm hole in his carbon instrument panel beneath the rev-counter.

    On my Greenie I will try to fit it in the original charge lamp place, but the red plastic with the charge sign must be removed because of the auto-dimming feature. Behind the red plastic, the LED will dim too much. It needs to see daylight:)

    h. Main Guzzi fuse box today revealed a burnt 30 amp fuse.  I replaced the fuse but symptoms continued.  A 20 amp fuse was replaced with the correct 15 amp fuse.  No effect.

    Please beware of the 30A charging circuit. I've been there...

    The black ground wire on the voltage regulator bracket is very thin and has too high resistance. If you happen to have a bad main grounding, the charging current may travel back in this wire. Worst case scenario: smoked cable harness and a lot of work.

    I don't know much, but my advice is to add a better regulator grounding and check all your connections. Even better; replace the original regulator with a directly connected one that not relies on relays to work.

    Hello, 
    Has anyone been able to load Guzzidiag to a Mac running Big Sur?
    I can't get it to go :huh2:

    Sorry, Guzzidiag won’t open with newer versions of macOS I am afraid. Easiest route is to install Windows 10 Pro on the Mac from Bootcamp. Very simple and free. See my last post.

    Field report from the northern hemisphere.

    V11 tune-up

    Got some spare time this weekend, so I manage to do some tune-up.
    Checked the valves, which were spot on.(0,15/0,20) Replaced the valve cover bolts - just for the esthetics. Then I hooked up the Caspers breakout cable I borrowed from @Rolf Halvorsen and adjusted the TPS sensor from 120mV to 155mV.

    Guzzidiag doesn’t work with newer macOS versions, so I installed Windows 10 Pro on my MacBook.  Never thought I would mess up my Mac with Windows, but handy to have the ability to boot into Windows when you need to. I’m dreaming of an iOS version of Guzzidiag. 

    I ran into problems with installing the correct FTDI driver. Thanks to «The New Improved GuzziDiag Tutorial» on wildguzzi.com I found a direct link to the executable driver: https://www.griso.org/CDM21228_Setup.zip


    The rest is self-explanatory and easy to do. My CO trim went from -40 to 0.

    Then the rain came… Test-drive have to wait untill tomorrow. Meanwhile I thinking about Meinolfs map...
