She is nothing more than a flamboyant Café Sport!!

What @docc said ^^^^^^^ Replace your relays with fresh ones; they do fail and are easy to replace; and check/clean/tighten the connectors in the base sockets. That would eliminate that factor from your diagnostic. CAIG DeoxIT is a proven contact cleaner and Picker Components PC782-1C-12S-R-X is the best relay of choice so far for the V11’s.

What relays are you running?

To get the best out of your machine, I would start here, TPS, Throttle balance, etc. . . —> Decent Tune-Up Then check Electrics, Ignition, charging system, relays. . .

That’s about 22cm taller than your average Italian…

Aussie overstock!?

Oh, and welcome back to the fold @SierraTango

Meanwhile, the only MG dealer we had in San Francisco dropped the brand, citing difficulties dealing with Piaggio . . .

Hence the moniker I’m trying to trademark . . .

The Italians call the GRISO “IL CINGHALE”, the wild boar. . . I’d call that one the Water Buffalo

In French, “Une Manivelle” . . . One came with my first car, a Renault 4L produced in the mid sixties; I can’t remember the exact year; Handed down to me by my grandfather, powered by a 750cc 4 bangers, three speed gearbox and a 6 volts electrical system that was often too weak to start the engine in frigid temperatures. I got pretty good at using the manivelle to get it started in the wintertime. you can spot the cutout for it in the front bumper of that ‘66 model.

@LaGrasta I’m surprised you didn’t get it from Aliexpress . . . You could have saved a few more $$ Aliexpress

As a replacement for your stock regulator, consider upgrading to a Mosfet type reg. Shindengen Mosfet regs in particular are the bees knees of motorcycle regulators. https://roadstercycle.com/Shindengen Mosfet Regulator about.htm

A little cheaper at Cadre: https://cadrecycle.com/product/sensor-2/

What’s a Neutra Switch??

@PJPR01 you should read this thread by old Guzzi hand @Greg Field if you’re interested in learning more about our V11’s cush drive.

Good for you, enjoy it!

The OP also mentioned having it listed on Ebay; I couldn’t find it. I have to assume it has sold . . .

No word from @drossell7 . . . I hope someone here was able to grab that luggage rack.

Hi @drossell7 I had posted my interest for the luggage rack when you first mentioned it at the time you were selling the Rosso Corsa back in March 2024 and followed with a PM. You never responded, so I thought you had probably sold it with the bike… Well, I’m still interested - please check your PM from March 2024 - Thanks!

Welcome back Roy! Your contribution to the MG community, here and elsewhere, is legendary! I am certain there has been many a time when any of us Guzzi owner, faced with an electrical situation, said to themselves: "What would Kiwi Roy Do?" Glad to hear you you're still around and riding!
