  3. https://www.guzzifan.com/moto-guzzi-tuning-codes-infos-tips/ Also recommended: After install for the first two rides on seperate days an adaptation procedure was followed: 1. Start engine & allow to idle for 5 minutes. 2. Drive vehicle for 5 minutes between 20 & 30 MPH. Do not allow RPMā€™s to exceed 3000 RPMā€™s. 3. Drive vehicle for 15 minutes between 40 & 60 MPH. Do not allow RPMā€™s to exceed 3000 RPMā€™s. 4. Stop vehicle & allow to idle for 5 minutes.
  4. My sensor bung site was relocated when I installed my MassMoto crossover Miro Kacur. With regards to yours abutting the frame the width difference is effectively 2.5mm wider each side than your stock sensor - Iā€™m guessing itā€™s lightly touching otherwise you wouldnā€™t have been able to line it up & screw it in otherwise. Although I agree touching is not ideal. So what to do as a solution? Well, in the first instance Iā€™d probably release all the clamps around the stock collector joining the stock pipes & tug & pull, yank & twist to try & gain an extra 1 or 2mm of clearance if possible. Swearing & banging with & rubber mallet might help too! Maybe even give it a start & some blipping revs or short ride with those pipe joints loose & try to bang squeeze some sort of wedge in there like a hacksaw blade - hopefully any engine twisting in frame with loose joint will help some readjustment. Then after tightening pipe joints remove wedge & hopefully have some sort of resettlement with 1 or 2mm clearance. Bush fixes Iā€™d try first. If all that malarkey fails just get new bung fitted wherever youā€™d think appropriate. On my relocation site choice I researched first that O2 sensors should be reasonably close to exhaust valve exit - from memory I think it was recommended like 12-18 inches - but you can check. They like a hot temperature environment - & with no possibility of contamination of outside air from end pipe ingress. Finally imo - Iā€™d worry less than you & being happy Iā€™d simply managed to screw it in place - just plug in & go ride as is & test the new differences to your bike. Itā€™s your call MK in best routes to alleviating the frame rub Iā€™m looking forward to your report back on your bikes behaviour šŸ‘šŸ˜Ž Ps. Mine after long period of time now - remains completely smooth & 100% hiccup snatch free Totally recommend for 15RC fitted V11ā€™s

  6. Whoa up there pilgrim! šŸ˜ ā€˜Frenzyā€™ behooves a balanced reviewā€¦
  7. Iā€™ll sign up for a glossy black carbon weave hump - if this all succeeds After some gravel corrugated roads riding my hump fell off at high speed when back on the bitumen Lucky to have noticed on filling up at next gas station so retraced my route some 15 kms & found it Guess the new carbon weave job will sort out even better than getting original fixed
  8. Sometimes out riding Iā€™ll be exploring new roads & it just ends up in a absolute confused mess - those occasions I just turn round & go back. Even if it feels like I wasted my time I suppose I found out something - not all progress ends up going in the right direction! Sure Iā€™m not the only one
  9. When I look down Iā€™ve noticed my barrels are also out of alignment I cope ā€˜cos studies have found ā€˜asymmetryā€™ adds beautyā€¦ šŸ¤“
  10. Thanks A Y ā€™runs good stationaryā€™ is a start - but looking forward to that ride report! Three months later hopefully youā€™ve managed to get in enough saddle time to add in some further impressions on the impact your gears make. Thanks VeeEleven - your note ā€˜She just runs betterā€™ concurs with Pressureangleā€™s impressions. But - do you recall if your valves were incorrectly gapped in any way before your gear installation?? Pressureangle relayed previously his were tight & required adjustment - so this also needs to be accounted for ie., hard starting etc., as opposed to all subsequent benefits being simply apportioned to the gears. Pressureangleā€™s experience with his drivetrain lash amelioration is highly intriguing - and maybe warrants further observations or analysis by other gear recipients enquiring minds! Iā€™m hoping everyone who bought JCā€™s gears installs & are able to follow up with their impressions - adds a collective depth of experience to this thread before it merely runs cold without definitive dispassionate conclusions. (Any comparative commentary ie., Valtech, additionally provides clarity to this threads historical value in the future).
  11. Those Apolitical Blues leaves one aghast A little JD to shake off those blues with some bright & cheerful polka
  12. Thanks Pressureangle for your kickoff impressions on how adding the gears impacted your V11 - hoping everyone who got this latest batch of JCā€™s gears chime in some feedback thereby adding up to a worthy collection. But are there crickets? Iā€™ve kinda been surprised at the lack of reports post sale - & was wondering whether that silent void was a telling indication. Maybe itā€™s a hint that the initial enthusiasm for the purchasing of gears had not sufficiently met owners expectations - or it mightā€™ve meant everyone was out busy riding & enjoying their improved V11 with bigger grins! Whoā€™s happy - why? Whoā€™s not - why? Good, bad, meh indifferent - all impressions will help add to the knowledge bank.
  13. If enough riding opportunities have been had & enjoyed ā€¦are you guys planning on adding your impressions? Made much difference?

  15. Itā€™s new - but classic Eric Clapton ā€™Pompous Foolā€™
  16. Love this tuneā€¦ Filmed in Wellington, New Zealand, on June 18, 2022.
  17. Guzzi has profligate record of ideaā€™s conceived before cruelly aborted prior to their little production bottomā€™s being slappedā€¦ V100 delivery dates in absentia? šŸ‘€ https://www.advrider.com/goodbye-ice/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter-07-05-2022
  18. Are you for real gstallons? ā€Donā€™t be so pernickety.ā€______________ Anyhoo.. seems if everyoneā€™s more or less on board with Jaapā€™s sentiment - myself included - Iā€™m not taking umbrage so Iā€™ll just easily move the needle onto the next trackā€¦ Ah Bob Dylan. Classic. Old political songs are more palatable than fresh protest presumably. Always enjoyed contemplating what Bob had to croon - #1.
