anybody opened these up before? is it possible to remove some baffling to let a bit more sound out, incrementally? maybe 30%?

thanks heaps for all the tips gentlemen. i was fooling with a few of my other bikes today, so i put the key in the V11 and it fired right up instantly like nothing had ever happened...

Turning over initially, but quit? Give a bit more info- was it turning over such that you expected it to start? Did it quit turning on a second push of the starter button, or while turning? Was it turning, didn't start, so you cycled the run switch then no crank? The easy way to test the relay is to throw a known good one in, if you have the functional old ones you took out or swap the headlight relay into the start position. Check your battery voltage, this is starting to smell like a bad battery.
On 10/23/2025 at 9:06 AM, GuzziMoto said:Yeah, there is a difference between "nothing happens" when you try to start it and it turned over but didn't start.
the bike was turning over as it normally does, cranking at full speed, attempting to sputter to life. i turned the "run" switch off and on one time, and then nothing would happen. all lights on the dash are on, the headlight is on, but when i hit the button, nothing happens. no turning over anymore...
p.s. the battery is newish. -

I would take the switch block off, dismantle the run button (I assume you mean the kill switch), clean it all and make a close visual inspection, put it all back together, and see if the problem is solved.
this is a possibility, and is a thought.
7 hours ago, GuzziMoto said:I seem to recall even the side stand switch plays a role in this, as does the clutch switch. If they say the side stand is down and / or the clutch is not pulled in the rules for starting are different (and harder to meet).
fuel pump was priming, and it was turning over initially.
the side stand does not need to be up for it to start, i warm it up on the side stand constantly. the clutch does have to be pulled in however, which was done of course. relays was what i meant to say, not fuses. i was wondering if that was the dreaded issue?9 hours ago, Pressureangle said:Can you hear the fuel pump prime when you flip the switch to 'run'?
Next, you need a test light and seat off. Gearbox in neutral, yes? I just had about a 5 minute WTF with a honda quad I haven't used in a few months because it wasn't in neutral.
yep, definitely in neutral. i left it in neutral, and the light does work and indicate correctly. i'm hoping it's just a relay. my bike has the upgrades and i have spares...

my V11 Le Mans has been starting up and running perfectly, no worries.
and then yesterday, i turned the run button off and on, and now nothing. now i put in the key in the ignition, turn it on, all lights come on, but nothing else happens.
is this the common fuse issue? my bike has the upgraded fuses in it...-

Potential failure of the aluminum flywheel in the Tenni and Scura, and 'possibly' the Rosso Mandello, but maybe not
got'cha. i didn't know there was a different clutch specific to those models...

1) If you're swapping plates (I like "pork chops", but others either don't like that or prefer "stilettos"), be aware that there seem to be two different versions of the plates with different size swingarm pins (20 vs. 22mm, by my measurement). If you get new-to-you plates, either confirm the correct size for your setup or get the pins with the plates.
i have not heard this before, good tip. thank you...

The pipes look like Mistral reverse cone mufflers. I had them on a 02 Lemans..They have a kind of raspy sound.
first question I’d be asking is “has the potentially exploding clutch been replaced?”
exploding clutch? this is a thing?
-
Tenni #108 for sale in Tucson, AZ. 11k miles. i'm unfamiliar with the pipes, but looks pretty clean with the exception of the terrible hack job on the rear tail light and fender. seems like an easy fix to get it back looking respectable.

I'm not sure how many models had grey or how many different greys they made.
Valve covers. I believe the color you want came standard on the NC and the RC. Also looks like RM but I can't be sure. That's potentially a few p/n's to look for.
i do believe you are right sir. i have not checked with Moto Guzzi to see if i can still order these parts, i am assuming no. but i shall check one of these days. i figured i would ask the question here first...
21 hours ago, Scud said:I think I have an extra set of frame plates and valve covers if you want to take them to a powder-coater or painter. I could sell them to you, or you could give me back your take-offs after you swap in the painted ones. We are only 100 miles apart.
i'll send you a PM @Scud. thanks for the offer, it is very much appreciated.
and thanks again to all for the tips...-

that is exactly what i want to do. i want to have the valve covers changed to red, and the footpeg plate holders to the dark matte silver colour. so the valve covers would be the only thing red on the bike, and pop, like you said...

Sort of like duck hunting. You never get the bird you don't shoot at.
indeed mate. i'm throwing it out there to see what's around, but evidently the Guzzi gang thinks we're comedians today.
i thought perhaps there might be a retailer who might make the valve covers or something, an aftermarket company? @Pressureangle mentioned anodising or powder coating, so those are good tips. the valve covers can be powder coating easily and reliably?
i did find half of what i was looking for however. -

Nothing ventured, nothing gained my Dad always said. I have seen these for sale maybe twice since I got interested (hooked) on Guzzis, which isn't that long. I think I saw them on Ebay. I forgot if they were black, red or unfinished, but just getting them is the hard part. Getting the color is the easy part. Persistence pays off.
without asking, it's 100% guaranteed to not get what you're looking for...

I think you're looking at anodizing or powdercoating. New parts are at best hard to find, and those pieces in particular seems unlikely, in good condition.well shit.
you're being a real downer today @Pressureangle...

i want to get a set of these:
and these matte grey frame/footpeg plates:
where is the best place to order these bits? from the factory, or is there another reputable OEM seller stateside?
or does anyone have them for sale?-

I think Power Commanders are universally despised by anyone not selling them.
that's the first thing i plan to do, unplug that thing and see if the problem persists...

i have a 2002 V11 Le Mans. it has an aftermarket crossover pipe and stock mufflers. if i hold the throttle steady around 2000 rpm in neutral, it hiccups and drops 500 rpm. then it will climb back to 2000 and a few seconds later, do it again. any ideas?
i am the second owner, it has 3,700 miles on the odometer and is super clean, like new. it came with a Power Commander which i haven't messed with or unplugged yet. it also surges heavily under 4000 rpm. in that rpm range in any gear, it either wants to accelerate or decelerate. any ideas? anyone have a similar issue?-

Because it is understood.
if i see a V11 for sale with those pipes, i'm going to buy the entire bike, swap pipes, and then resell it...

The Quat-D is an complete exhaust that sits where the crossover currently is. I think they are even more rare than the Titanium kit.
The new exhaust you have pictured looks like the stock set that came with my Scura.
Anyway... if you keep your eyes open you may find a Titanium set, but will likely need to move quickly when you see it.
i saw a set a few years back for $700 with the ECU included. but i didn't have a V11 at that time. if i knew how hard-to-find they were, i would have bought them then...

You don't get most of the things you don't ask for...
These are scarce these days, and the only ones I have seen recently have been attached to bikes for sale.
I would "consider" swapping a set of mine for a Quat-D exhaust as I have the Titanium pipes on both my Scura and Nero Corsa.
hmmn, i do not know what a Quat-D exhaust is. i assume they are not readily available in these more modern times?
if you feel like a change, i do have these, new in a box, not yet mounted...
