  1. The CO is adjusted digitally through a computer interface (Moto Guzzi Axone, VDSTS, or Guzzidiag, etc) Once you find the CO trim n the software, note its numerical position. You can then reset it to a value that should carry through the testing and put it back where you like it when finished. Check out the Guzzidiag thread here.
  2. Stew, I'm vague on your description. Can you post a picture? Otherwise, I think you are talking about the throttle body itself. It should have a good seal with the rubber connection forward and onto the alloy intake.
  3. Here is a fitment comparison for the later V11 airbox. Not sure if they are the same as the Daytona.
  4. It has been the ethanol free premium fuel that has made the biggest difference for mine.
  5. Were your swingarm pins equal? When we measured pins at the South'n Spine Raid a few years back, they were all over the place, but mostly shifted the swingarm right. How did you come up with that formula ?
  6. Looks like we're mighty close to pictures somewhere other than the driveway!
  7. Hmmm, that's interesting... Aside from my dicky neutral light, I don't seem to have the charging or oil lights lit up either... Low fuel light still works though so I suppose I should be thankful ... ? Stew, Sounds like time to make certain you are good at Fuse 5 and especially Relay 2 (Headlight Relay).
  8. True, the whole donk and drive line is, what, 12mm to the right? maybe they all hop right over bumps. You could check the swingarm pin depth from the lock nuts with a dial caliper:
  9. Certainly worth checking the swingarm alignment. Strings, glass light tubes, laser - what have you. I suppose, also, the triple clamps could be twisted. (Not sure how to check that).

    V7 tuning

    Tomaselli clip-ons with CRG bar-ends. Triple clamps lowered 6mm, shocks +4mm with a nice improvement in turn-in, says he!
  14. And maybe four or five ways of doing a procedure so you can work out your own favorite and post back on that important, overlooked sixth option. We're counting on you for that!
  15. My vote: ditch 'em! I suspect they are only to muffle the drive-by intake noise for emissions testing. No question they restrict the intake (bad) and at idle suck the intake air that's rising off the header pipe (extra bad). Probably no significant ram air effect under 135 mph.
  16. Just a minor suggestion to set the valves before the throttle body balance. Valves with the motor cooled (after 45 minutes or so is fine) and the balance at operating temp and not at idle.
  17. Guzzi's got you covered on the V11: after an undetermined number of km, the gearbox automatically sticks in the randomly selected gear: instant single speed!
  18. Yeah, they look they'd be as steady as a rock ledge, but I replaced one at 54,000 miles/87.000 km. With 90,000 on the Sport now, I guess I better order my next one before long!
  19. Maybe some good swishing with something more like electrical or electronics cleaner? Worth a try before popping for the switch. The number I listed is for the early 1999-2001 Sport, so be sure to find the correct one for your application (I believe they are the same through the end of the series.)
  20. By clean, do you mean you worked the switch actuator in and out in a solvent bath or spray? Some have reported that would restore the connection inside. Others have said that, once clean, a change of gearoil kept the switch functioning (RedLine as I recall). Also, you're certain the connector makes a clean solid connection with the switch? Otherwise, it sounds like you're in for a new switch. (GU19207220)
  21. Kevin Cameron, in a recent edition of Cycle World, clearly differentiated between "detonation" and "pre-ignition." I always thought they were the same, but apparently not.
  22. Wait . . . a gorgeous, racy Italian lady you're not sure you can trust?
  23. Welcome Denis! You've come to the right place to work through the tuning and possible issues with the Ballabio. Enjoy the ride!
  24. I was somehow certain the eccentric alters the travel in one direction or the other (upshift versus downshift) which is, ideally, set to be equal.
