My 2000 V11S is just 120/year for comp and liability

as a side note , is that TPS available from another source other than Moto Guzzi sources ? Example: 3 bar fuel pressure regulator for this bike from Moto Guzzi , $250 3 bar fuel pressure regulator for a 2002 VW GTI turbo $52 (same thing)

So here's what I found. after disconnecting the linkage rod and backing out the idle adjuster, I connected the DVM to the 2 outer wires and turned on the key. the meter read 2250 mv .....what?!?! checked all the connections .....2250mv (i thought to myself, how am I ever going to get this adjusted down to 150mv) --- I loosened the tps screws and tried to adjust .....got it down to 1500mv.... "hmm , must be time for a tps" so I took the sensor off and inspected it . I placed the sensor atop the TB again and rotated it until it went down toward 0. Seems like it's working now....inserted the screws and tightened it down ....turned the throttle shaft....still working. loosened the screws and adjusted to 150 mv .... cool Since I hadn't adjusted the linkage rod, I just clipped it back on and measured the tps ... 520mv Hmmm...lets see what it runs like ....started it up Purrs like a kitten @1100 compared to yesterday I couldn't help taking it for a spin (was 80 degrees here today) ...It runs like a charm! I'm going to order a new tps and then go through the entire procedure when that arrives. In the meantime, I think I'll ride it to work tomorrow (since it's supposed to be 80 again tomorrow)

Hey, what's up Guys. A week ago I saw an want-ad for a V11 sport that "needs a little TLC". I went and looked at it and it turned out it was a 2000 model with 7500 miles. needed brake pedal, brake lever, speedo cable and battery ( and a good scubbing ) ....I scooped it up smile.gif It's equipped with Ti mufflers and a Carbon fiber accessory kit. ...I think it has a different ECU It's a pretty cool looking bike. One of the things the guy said was, it spent a year outdoors, but you'd never know it by looking at it, it just looks a couple years old.....a couple little nicks & scratches. I'm looking forward to getting it running well ...currently it starts up, doesn't idle, but runs really rich & rough.....no power to speak of either ...it's like practically unridable ....I'm headed out to the garage right now to check the tps settings, but what I suspect is that maybe the fuel injectors are not operating properly ...any input would be greatly appreciated. Ride safe, Steve

I'm going to browse the tech threads and see what I can find...If I come up dry, I'll post a tech question. Ride safe, Steve 2002 V11 Sport.
