Will do. Just went for a test ride. Runs sweet as ever now !!! No more black smoke. Will still replace the plugs though. Thanks for all of the advice here

Cheers gstallons, I thought this may have been the case. Can't believe I missed that, but it was good to test the plug caps, air filter etc anyway. BPR6ES's on the shopping list.

"I may have solved it..." Isn't this and this supposed to be connected.... When the weather stops raining I shall take it for a test ride with the newly reconnected air temp sensor and see if it is running cleaner.... Moderator EDIT: (link added to the Tank Off Maintenance Checklist)

You guys want to see more photos? I also have quite a few of other types of Guzzis that attended if you're keen..... it was pure MG p00rnn...!!!

Thanks Bruce,...tank off this weekend again and I will check it. Marty & Vuzzi - I did an Ohm test on both the plug caps. RHS 4.98, LHS 4.88 so they're not too bad. Both plugs are sooty so def rich !! Going to replace them. My V11 doesn't have a crossover (I assume you're referring to the front header one). So,..next will be Docc's tune up procedure followed by injector cleaner.

Also known as the "Tattley Rappet" Rally This was held in 22nd-24th October , what we call here in New Zealand ..Labour Weekend Great turn out, with 6 V11s present. Approx 40 Moto Guzzis there with the older ones outnumbering the post 1999 ones Was a great weekend !!! Here's a few pictures ........And myself chasing a Cali 1400 through from Martinborough to Masterton.... GoPro 4 attached to the RHS forkleg

Thanks for the tips, guys. Never thought about the plug caps. I think I'll replace the plugs and caps as it has been a while since.

Not really suddenly, but just been getting progressively worse. I'm just a bit worried about bore-wash. I know my TPS can be a real pr1ck to set to 150 !!

Thanks Docc,..shall follow that link.

Got an issue with my 2002 V11 Sport. It's running quite rich to the point of black smoke when revving it up and also under load. I have cans on it but standard collector. Have the snorkels removed but standard airbox. I checked the air filter, all good as was replaced not that long ago. Cleaned the air temp sensor. Cleaned the inside of the airbox and checked for anything in there. Took off the fuel pressure regulator on the RHS of the tank and took out the bowl with the filter to see if anything clogged in there. All good and gave it a good clean. Plugs are good and starts easily, even when warm. Tappets are okay Should I redo the TPS setting? Any advice appreciated

and they have a splayed out RHS muffler to accommodate it...
