Slavomir Musilek (R.I.P.)

I really appreciate your help Roy. Current problem is: no charge at all and not working tachometer. Headlight is working OK. Now I am running OEM rectifier and Yuasa battery. I have added external 30A fuse holder and new thick wire going directly from - pole to rectifier Slavek

Roy! It seems we are getting somewhere so, on both black and white wires going from rectifier I can read 12V. When white wire brushed to ground, charge light goes on. from two yellow wires I can read up to 80V depending on revs resistance in point you've mentioned is 0,06 Ohms white wire from rectifier connects to blue in harness, should I focus on this one?

Hi! I am looking for front wheel bearing spacer for newer Guzzis (hollow axle), new or used doesnt matter. thx Slavek

ignition off, key on, oil light on, charging light off battery voltage 12,53V, between the wire you mentioned and chasis I measured 12,45V. Slavek

Roy, Docc, could all this problem cause dead battery? When I send nominal current (0,1A) to it and measure voltage between poles, it shows some 13V+. If battery has high resistance, the charging circuit should not be able to give it any charge, am I right in my thoughts? Slavek (btw, only on battery, Guzzi can run roughly 20-30 rounds on 4,5km long circuit

go for it if you want

Hi Dave! Check ebay! I think, I saw one available there! cheers Slavek

charge/oil + beam lights are also working Docc

Greetings! I have complete front fairing for V11. Originally this was from Rosso Corsa, than painted gloss black, than scratched slightly on circuit. Needs new paint but has not been broken or repaired. Pics upon request on "tauryii (the funny thing) centrum.cz". Fairing bracket is also for sale. Also, I have another spare side parts of fairing I purchased on ebay last year, these are broken and needs to be repaired. Will wait for a week and than sell on ebay cheers Slavek

with engine off, ignition on, black-red cabel gives 12,58V (battery has 12,66V) headlight off.

Thanks for your help Docc! Brake light, headlight, horn all is working except tachometer I use OEM rectifier now and have bypassed the charging circuit. Thick wire is going directly from two red cables in rectifier to 30A fuse holder and than to positive pole of battery. From negative pole, thick wire is going to ground of the rectifier. Blue cable from main loom connects to white cable in rectifier, red-black one is connected to the black one from rectifier. No other mods in electricity has been performed.

dear Guzzi, you defeated me... I give up simple question, how long can V11 run from battery? In 4 days I have my track lessons. Without lights and all the stuff, it should take 20mins ride, than 40min charging and again. What do you think? Anyway, during cranking, the batt voltage drops to 9,65V. Should this be the problem?

SO: I bypassed all the charging circuit by new, thick wire and external fuse holder BUT: no charging though Yellow wires from alternator gives up to 80V depending on revs. connection between regulator and battery is strong - no drops Rectifier disconnected: multimeter set to diod mode, + tester connected to red cable from rec (that one that goes to battery), - trester connected to each phase going to alternator -> nbo response - tester connected to red cable, + tester to each phase going from alternator -> roughly 0,5V - tester to ground and + tester to each phase from alternator -> no response + tester to ground, - tester to each phase from alternator -> no response so now I am really lost. All three rectifiers, 1 OEM, 1 aftermarket and 1 from Joerge from Germany that was reccomended here gives the same result. And still no charge. Am I right, it should be charging even when the relays would be blown? Wires goes directly from rectifier to fuse and straight to battery.

during summer I go to work on my Guzzi, and every day when going home in the evening I stop on quite remote gas station on way home. Station is quite remote and is off the main city, so it is quite calm and offers beautiful seeside to the country. Stop there, get coffe (Lavazza, hm!) and newspapers. Relax and enjoy the end of the day. One day a little, bit fatty, boy (8yrs or so) came to see the bike. He was holding an ice cream and licking it wery loudly. Hi! I told him. Hm... You Man, he told me with excitement, how fast does this thing can go? Hm. Pretty fast, I replied, 220 KPH. Sorry, I thought this bike can go MUCH faster, he replied and walked away. That was the only moment I regret not having and R1

I use http://www.kappamoto.com/catalogo-online/eng/gruppo/*Borse+soffici+moto*/sottogruppo/*Tank+bags*/serie/*TK713+-+TANK+BAG*/ Kappa, almost 40l capacity, quite nice finish, comes with rain cover.

just like RSV always 4000 and above

aha, story goes on. not charging, melting 30A fuse. Blowing 15 fuse on lights. So i am taking spare wiring loom from Ebay and let's see where is the gremlin now

another politically un-correct game http://www.kongregate.com/games/KommanderKlobb/eyjafjallajoekull

now add these together

just some inspiration... (i know it is not Guzzi... but... one never know) surprise

the Green one looks marvelous! forget the KTM&Buell paint scheme

India can be tricky Why not take local flight to Djaipur or Varanasi?

MotoGP is still the same old song WSBK is a way better

thx Raz!
