Time for a "group hug" !

Speaker's Cycle in Steubenville,Ohio has them (in the MGNOC newsletter) as available.

That's good!!!!!!!!!

Are they both MagnetiMarelli ? You don't need to drill holes in anything. You can introduce things you don't want in the TPS. Anything you spray into the sensor should or could cause problems. A conductor like "anti-sieze", if it is placed in the TPS WILL cause problems. BTW, how much is the TPS from Guzzi? I would consider patronizing them first! They have to stay in business too.

#1 Do you own and can you use a (digital volt/ohm meter) DVOM? If so, hook it up and watch a "sweep" of the entire range of the TPS voltage. Do this slowly and watch for glitches. It wil probably be ok, since the majority of wear will be at normal (highway speed) throttle opening. #2 Does this bike have ANY modifications? If it has a Powercommander or any device in the circuit between the wiring harness and ECM, unhook it and run it without it to see if the problem is still there. If it changes, the Powercommander needs to be "remapped". This should be done by a professional. They know what to look for in changing parameters on the remapping. HTH!!!!!!!!

WTF ? Are you a physicist (sp)? I had to get a dictionary to read your post. BTW, it was FUNNY!

Rossi finally winning there and kissing the asphalt, Stoner and his Ducati overshooting a turn, getting off, getting up w/out stalling and still coming in 2nd way out in front..... WOW!!!!!!!!!

You sound like Mickey Rourke and Don Johnson rolled into one !!!!!!!!!! Did you put this on youtube?

Old is a moving standard.I can remember when 51 was old. Now 71 is the "new" old!

That is a "sanitary" set-up on the starter button. Take some more pictures of things you have done. p.s. You can touch 12v with wet hands and at best will get a "tingle". You have to get up to around 40v to feel anything. I think electric fences for farming have 60v dc.

You will HAVE to purchase a PowerCommander and get it "mapped" for your mods. These bikes come from the factory "out of adjustment", being calibrated (my personal opinon) for the climate and altitude for Italy. This will be the best modification you can do! BTW, what did the spark plugs look like before the modification?

MOTO-International or Eish Enterprises can get you one. BTW they are NOT cheap!!!! I lost 2 on my 87 LM.

Hmmmmmmm........ did you win? Do you know a good (heli-arc) welder? I looked at the prices.Yeow!

Would you consider CF coating the tailpiece ? I would be glad to pay you to do one?

Not being stupid but what happened to your lever ?

There is NO cleaning abilities to a oxygen (lambda) sensor . The only thing you can do to test these is to tap into the sensor with a DVOM to test the switching voltage swing from 150 -800 mv. This should swing quickly and not staying low or high. Visual inspecting the sensor will not tell you much. I do not know the cost of these sensors for bikes, automotive oxygen sensor cost from $40-$400. If they're not too expensive it would not be a bad "normal maintenance" item.

Many spark plug caps have a 5-6k ohm resistor in them that can "open" and fail.These can be tested with an ohmeter.

Does his happen to the other side? There is a good chance you can do this to ALL V11 bikes.

You can buy a spark tester at an auto parts store.It will look like a spark plug with an alligator clip. There is no visible ground or center electrode. This to cause a "test" of the coil to jump this distance for a good spark. If there is no spark, you probably have a bad ign. coil.

If you don't own a parts and or service manual, get a cd or dvd version. I bought one from guzzitech ( I think) for a cd version and it has been one of my best investments. You can print one page or the entire manual.This is better than thinking or guessing when disassembling or upon reassembly whan all those parts look so unfamiliar. "Look before you break". If you get the pages dirty throw them away and print some more.

If you do NOT experience or hear "pinging" or spark knock you will not have trouble. You can refill the tank as soon as possible to dilute the regular fuel.

Can you tell me how I can contact these people. I would like to buy the fuel tank,plastic and bodywork. I have a SE and would like to have back-up parts "just-in-case"!

I'll give it a go. Respond to me privately with his ph # & other info.

That's control!

Lucky !
