[00' V11 Sport - new injectors required?]

00' V11 Sport was cutting out after a short idle (bike has been sitting for over 18 months). I had it picked up by my local Guzzi dealer who informs me that I need new fuel injectors. The bike has less than 4,000 miles and as such I find that having to replace the injectors seems a bit of a stretch. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks....

[00 V11 stall after brief idle]

Track down the hissing. Possible vacuum leak. Look for cracked T-body boot, loose fit from boot to t-body, broken hose or missing cap. Dribble some carburetor cleaner around the noise and listen for hissing to change and rpm change.

Careful with flammable spray around ignition wire and hot stuff. (that's why I said dribble)

Thanks - there was also a bit of smoke coming from the boot cover which I was chalking up to the bike having sat so long.

[00 V11 stall after brief idle]

I have a 00' V11 sport that has been in storage for approx. 18 months. It starts fine however will stall after approx. 30 seconds of idling - the stall is preceeded by a hissing sound on the right hand side of the bike. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...
