Yes they do correct. Ciao

Yes I noted the omission also. Ciao

Keep plugging along Pete. Ciao

Thats my point docc the overhead ladder shots make it short on detail you need to asses the condition. Taking images for aesthetic reasons is different and most bikes look really good from 1 or 2 angles and the location and lighting plays a part of course. When advertising a second hand anything it's about detail and evaluating condition. Those low res overhead perspectives just make me think the seller is trying to minimise or avoid revealing something. I also just realised this was a first time poster advertisement in the for sale section. I wonder if it's his bike? Ciao

Worst photography I've seen in an advertisement for a while. What's the point of the "up on a ladder" perspective? Of no utility at all. Ciao

Sounds like me, Irritating in traffic. Ciao

Throw a bottle of injector cleaner in the tank on the way home. Cant hurt and may help. Ciao

So the Griso's have got a break down vehicle along for the trip then:) Ciao

What is it Pete? Ciao

Well if you can work a computer at a basic level you can work Tunerpro and Guzzitech. The 15M ecu is 20 year old technology. I'm 62 and learned it from scratch. The same way people tuned carburated engines, except easier AND you can simply load the many, many free maps other people have developed over the last 20 years for FREE in 30 seconds. All those map resources can be downloaded on the web or emailed to you. Ludditeism is no excuse, if you want to get an efi bike running well you need to commit to learning some very basic computer skills. Tuning on the dyno is the ultimate to get the last 5% or so but even then you tweak the maps based on how it actually feels to ride. The dyno sheet doesn't always represent what actually feels best on the road at normal speeds and throttle inputs which is where you spend 99% of your riding time. Ciao

Ok Pete. Just thought I saw in the 1200 engine training manual an image of a scissor/double gear on the crank and assumed it was a backlash gear. Ciao

Well It'll be easy for me as I raise a glass of red to something or someone almost every hour according to my wife:) Ciao

Exactly Pete. Brad Black did the base map for my bike with a Centy map from a 16M to a base 15M V11 map. It was OKish when at operating temp but hard to start and warm up and a few other issues. I was subsequently given 4 pretty much std Centy .bin files from Karsten in Germany and Will Creedon in the states and I could see why. Brad had simply transposed the fuel, ignition and offset maps straight to the std base V11 maps but left the engine temp and OAT break points as per the std V11 map. This didn't work. The Daytona/Centy engine requires totally different fuel and ignition trimming during the warmup process and also during cranking the fuel requirements are very different. So with Tunerpro and Guzzidiag I changed all these break points to make the bike easy to start and carburate nicely esp during warm up. It starts instantly now and idles at 1200 rpm all the way to 90 deg C engine temp. I also adjusted the map to cure the slight popping on the overrun at 3000rpm plus a few other tweaks. So accessible, so good so easy. I appreciate that at one point in time the Powercommander system was all that was available along with those horrid Lambda trimmer things but Guzzidiag and Tunerpro made them all obsolete as did Ducatidiag and several others. Ciao

An unnecessary and overly complicated one. Ciao

Yes. Look at the bottom of this page from one of my projects for a small taste of what you can do. Guzzidiag and tunerpro are your tools for full access. You will need to commit to learning something new if you haven't done efi tuning before but you can use the programs to tune just like you did with carbs except better. Here's a good starting point for your learning experience. Also check the How to section here for Guzzidiag lessons. https://wildguzzi.com/forum/index.php?topic=96957.0 Anyone wanting to step back in time and start afresh with a Power commander is foolish when Guzzidiag and Tunerpro is available, Free and superior by a factor of about 10. Ciao

You're hearing/remembering wrong. Complete rubbish Ciao

You forgot to mention Pete the split drive gear for the jackshaft to eliminate backlash and keep the noise down, nice. Ciao

The tank cut outs are in my view a styling abomination. I fail to understand why in the hell you would do that as a styling exercise. It makes the bike look like a parts bin, backyard, don't want to invest in proper design, we are broke and can't afford to do it right exercise. I assumed they were an unfortunate necessity. Ciao

So Pete if you removed the rocker cover covers from a 1400 engine would you be able to eliminate or reduce those hideous fuel tank cutouts on the 1400 Californias? Ciao

Was hoping they'd last longer than a year. Ciao

Got around to doing this. Not totally enamoured by the look but a clocks a useful thing on a bike so that tips the scales. I was struggling with finding somewhere to fit it that didn't look too odd and I finally went with a bolt on fit which involved a bit of work. If anyone is interested in the process I'll add to this thread. Ciao

Not anymore I sold it a couple of years ago. Need any parts? cheap Ciao
