I would interview him with a lot of questions before I went anywhere on this .

Keep your old stuff . You can sell it off on this site .

Bike looks terrific ! As far as brake fluid flush : use DOT 4 fluid . Excellent , all the good points .mixes w//DOT 3 . DOT 5 / aka silicone fluid . Light blue hue . Incompatible with any other brake fluids . The 4 is almost as high a temp fluid as 5 . Not worth the change .

My black frame has a one wire throttle cable system .

# ! remove the shifter pivot bolt . Loosen the locking nut behind the bolt , hold the nut w/a wrench and unscrew the pivot bolt . If it is rusty , lubricate the bolt and shifter and replace . If it is not , plan on removing the shift cover and repair .

How much slack are we talkin' about ?

Uh oh . I've created a moniker !

Does ANYONE have a junk clip-on ? I need it t experiment ( cut apart ) on . I bought a pair of clip-ons and one of the weights is LOOSE . I want to cut it apart to see how to fix it . It is the throttle side . It looks like a barrel key works it . Think large tool box key .

Youre a pretty smart man . We are glad you are on this forum . BTW , when you get through you are going to have The Batman version of a Scura !

Huh ? no habla espanol

PD , the second relay complements a good known working system . It is not made to cure anything . It is made to prevent excessive load to the start system .

You can't eBay ? Read my heresy on the automotive ( marine actually ) relay in series to the OEM starter relay on the V11 . This keeps all the solenoid current off the factory EVERYTHING on the bike .

Thanks brother !

Hmmmmm . that would generate some $$$ too ! BTW , what color did you use on the chops ? It does look good ! Oh yeah , you found a part # for the oil filter in Baldwin . What is the part # ?

You are either single , using this as a business write-off or have a great marriage !

I will get rid of the old ones for you .

Or , we could swap out front forks . Those Ohlins just don't cut it for the stealth look . I could tolerate the gold look !

I don't know if it matters , I put my fuse/holder between the battery and # 30 of the relay and tucked the holder under the strap of the battery hold-down . It may be better to put the fuse/holder between 87 and solenoid . I would post some pics but , I am not smart enough . The wire gauge was 16 ,14 or something . I went to NAPA and got $35 worth of stuff because I couldn't find anything . BTW I use uninsulated butt connectors and heat shrink .This keeps out water intrusion and acts as a strain relief .As I have stated , the new relay carries the current to the starter and not the mini-relay in the relay holder . I have used this before on Lucas starters . They burn UP neutral and ignition switches like crazy . A special thanks to K-R for putting down in print my thoughts .

Buddy , IDK but , that color is righteous !

Every one of these bikes is …………………………..nevermind .

Mine is an 03 . This is the EASIEST thing you will ever do . Call me . this will take 2 minutes . # 1 come up with a conventional ( regular size ) relay ,mounting bracket & connector. # 2 make sure there is NOT a diode in the relay . # 3 connect # 30 through a fuse to 12v , 85 to ground . # 4 disconnect the solenoid wire and install a wire with a male terminal to the existing solenoid wire , then to 86 .* # 5 go from 87 to the starter solenoid and attach using a female butt connector .* * use 16 ga wire to make sure you get optimum current flow to the solenoid . I mounted the relay to the battery mounting frame .

Well , after 13 yrs. And a little work. # 1 Removing the fuel pressure regulator & cleaning it up/out . removing the fuel by turning the pump on & off 100 Xs and pumping out the stale fuel . Replaced qwith straight gas . # 2 Install new battery . # 3 cranked about 10 seconds pulling on the throttle cable . # 4 Are you ready to rrruuummmbbbllleee ? # 5 The sound of perfection ! # 6 the red frame is running .

Look at the thread "What did you do to your Guzzi today" . I installed a larger automotive relay in series with the starter relay . Exactly what is the month/year of production of your bike and what model ? This is easy to wire into . Call my cell if you need too7oh ate4one one77for

Oh no …….that is a VERY good price !

The older you get , the heavier these caskets get . A man realizes how important your close friends and family members are , the day after they are gone . Brother , we feel for you
