FWIW, I'm not seeing the "donate" button on the gizzidiag page, and the gmail link doesn't get me there, either. EDIT: Alright, I see now when I open the actual guzzidiag app(lication), there is the "Donate" button. Bottom line: time to donate! Thank you, Bernd, and Paul, and Jaap!

Thank you, Nick! As valuable as this tool was at the latest South'n Spine Raid TechSessions, and as much as I encourage people to use it, I am happy to donate to Bernd. Paul Minnaert is also a fabulous part of our being able to share this experience as a community . . . . . . . . along with our Chief Whip, Jaap Veldhorst.

While I am still learning how to use *guzzidiag* for the later computers (on the V7 and 1200 Sport), I have found it amazing in the basic tuning of the V11 even without changing the map with TunerPro. Any V11 owner who has not used this to read and, perhaps, reset their CO Fuel Trim is missing a critical baseline in their V11 performance and reliability. Typical factory CO settings are often around minus 30 (at least in the USA). I would like to donate to the developer, but cannot find a link to do that?

We put guzzidiag to the 1200 Sport today while doing an "tune-up." The TPS Reset is infinitely simpler than the V11's mechanical method, but doesn't offer much satisfaction that it actually does anything. I set it before the throttlebody synch and final idle setting. Should I have "Reset" it at the end of the session? And this "Reset autolearning parameters" . . . should that be activated?

Perhaps off topic, in a way, but how would this kit be fitted to a twin-plate V11? Different input hub only?

"Porting" and polishing the inlets made a surprising difference on my Sport. Plus, is was fun and involved beer . . . http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19239&p=207042

But why? Make sure you've done a Decent Tune Up first. Then consider what can be done with guzzidiag and TunerPro if necessary . . .

Is there some sort of connection between the Devil's Brigade and Moto Guzzi? In other words, they might have been opposed twins instead of V twins? Something about the google translation of that phrase coming out, "The Thick End Is Yet!" makes me want to tighten all the fasteners and check all my bearings . . .

I have seen a couple V11 at +10 to +15. I am not sure if these were set arbitrarily, or (ideally) with a real-time exhaust gas analysis. All of the factory settings I have heard are around minus 30 and I know of none that did not run better at zero.

It is hard to imagine what, internal to the drive train, would rattle both at idle and under load. Throw out bearing? Does the sound at idle change with the clutch pulled in or out? The idea keeps bringing me back to something "attached" to the motor/ driveline: side stand, steering damper, sub-frames, center exhaust hanger, exhaust pipe clamps . . .

I had interpreted this to mean the rattle occurs both at idle and under load? I, too, do not hear any unusual sound in the video, but if it is a noise that has only recently started, it is worth investigating.

Several common things that could break, or come loose, at the front of the V11 are the Heim / rose joint that keeps the steering damper to the lower fork clamp, the oil cooler brackets (earliest were aluminum and would break in half), and the rubberized coil mounts. Exhaust flanges are also known to rattle loose at the header pipe connection. Also, be certain the sidestand mounting fasteners are all snug .

Another view of the Tekno mounting showing how the turn signals and tail light are obscured from the side (as well as vindicating my tire condition ):

Haha - that's just the reflection off the dust; new Pirelli GT with 50 miles on it! Can't wait to see what Guzzi you settle on . . .

That's it. So, it's on the right side below the tank and behind the subframe? The Tank Off Maintenance Checklist has some advice and a couple links on tank removal.

I think it was MartyNZ that pointed out that my "working drawings" are a mixture of metric and inch measure. I seem to recall doing it that way because I would have to source materials in inch measure and dimension the build to the bike in metric. Tekno supplied the semi-rigid panniers for the Moto Guzzi accessory offered for the V11. they are an expanding type saddle bag of a "cordura-type" Nylon removable by a clever mounting bracket made by KLICKfix of Germany. First generation had Tekno logos, while the second gen say Moto Guzzi and have more robust construction and improved mounting racks.

That's the fuel pump. A few V11 were delivered with the pump there which also may relocate the fuel filter (which is typically under the tank on top of the spine frame). You might trace the two yellow wires that comes out of the top of the stator cover and they will lead you to the regulator. If your fuel filter is beside the frame on the left above the cylinder, then your regulator may well be under the tank on top of the frame . . .

Jester, you'll have to work a lot harder at it to be found "way off base" here . . . I never thought of using HDPE for mounts. I've long wanted to prototype some mounts to move my Tekno forward and down:

Seriously, I played such an infinitesimally small part in this . . . Fantastic effort on Chuck's part! And, not just the extender mod, Luckyhil, but the amazing, documented tutorial on the entire V11 shifting mechanism: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19547 (I'm just glad to find out mules can swim!)
