Yep. everything but the shoe phone. But back to the original complaint. My 02 does not like to downshift more than 1 gear at time.Clutch, throttle matching... nope.. It just doesn't like it. Same with my 70 Guzzi. My other 4 motorcycles (all Japanese brands) no issue, even the ones with no slipper clutch. But out of 6 motorcycles and countless others I get to ride the Guzzi's still get the biggest grin out of me. Welcome to the club. Just remember it is different, you may have to re-learn a few riding habits to adjust.

"Guzzitech ECU map to match Stucchi crossover and Mistral mufflers." Via a PC? I couldn't ever get my Scura to idle for shit. MyECU fixed that. I spent years F#%KING with that nonsense. It would seem the range that Guzzi's work with-in is very wide. Some people have no issues, others have never ending. The OEM ECU sucks, or at least its programming does. If you use it as a base, your case is lost before it even began to my experience. Which, the bike ran great for almost 3 years, then it when to hell. Can't imagine that the ECU changed.... But it did.... POS.

The protective plastic that is used to keep the sheet steel from getting scratched would be my guess. Probably cut with the sheet still present then peeled off afterwords.

Tread patterns are not what they seem. The old force water out theory is just a wives tale. It really is more about finding somewhere for the water to go. Hydrodynamics of a tire at speed is very different from what most people would expect it to be. Run it in the direction of the arrow if you can. But to be honest, the arrow is a usually decided by the marketing department, not engineering.

This has to be the best forum statement I have read in years. Simply awesome.

www.corsa-technic.com has a very good selection.

I was thinking torque rod, my bushing were dust after 8k miles.

This would at least confirm that Guzzi is at least consistent with its inconsistency. Which number do you have slowkitty?

I would have posted what GuzziMoto said, but he beat me to it.

02 Scura - plastic.

I love letting Harley riders hear the symphony that ushers from my clutch. Nothing better than watching them look down in concern trying to locate what broke just as I happened to pull up. Priceless, every single time.

How does it compare to the MT07 (pretty sure that is the other bike in the picture) ? I think I would like the the road no matter which bike I was on.

This post just about covers it. http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=16474&hl=ethanol&do=findComment&comment=176922

Your threaded rod is not a stock part, looks like it came from Menards (northern USA hardware store, for you non-US folks). Notice in docc's photo the 90 degree angles, you want yours to look like that.

It won't fix my worn out shoes.

Pasta science or not, motoguzznix and bjorn are right. Ignition tuning is the best method of reducing "knock". Knock or detonation occurs after the ignition event, change the ignition event and presto, smiling happy riders. Short of a decent datalogger the tape on the bar method works, not recommended on modern roads in most locales though.

Detonation has much more to do with combustion chamber shape and mixture swirl than the actual ratio. Considering these "hemi" heads are new technology for the early 1900's is it not a surprise Although the "pent-roof" has been around almost as long it seem to work better . You can tune around it but it takes some work. Yamalube Engine Med is Techron without the gas added, use as directed. My Scura knocked its way home from the dealership.

Yamalube Internal Engine Cleaner. A little hard to find at dealers (they can only order en mass and is intended for service departments only) but it is designed to survive combustion and clean the exhaust side also. Turns single cylinder Road Stars into twins again, inside of 15 mintues. Do not use near populated areas. Change your oil after application, for real. Yamalube EngineMed works well for regular combustion carbon removal (maintenance) but it wont clean exhaust or heavily deposit chambers (it is Techron in a concentrate form). I don't like Seafoam. That is for boat hulls. Mineral spirits is cheaper and does as much inside an engine.

Nice, i wish you lived in my neighborhood. You clearly have more energy than me.

Its a little hard to make adjustments to fueling when you have to play the "I think thats about right" game. I dont think the OP is to concerned about idle speed.

I would setup the ardunio to count interrupts of the falling signal on the ground side of the injector. Easy to program and make a shielding circuit so the input pin doesn't get damaged. Personally I don't like looking while riding, I prefer logs then I can review at my leisure with a beer later. You can get a shield and log to an sd card easily depending on the board you are using.

Pretty easy, but why not just count the tach pulse out of your MyECU though or use injector grounding? The math is alot easier. The correct rpm and TPS angle is available in both the Optimizer and its App, so am I missing the point of this?

To produce over 12 volts a battery only needs the smallest surface area in all of its 6 cells, battery voltage is the sum of the cells which are in series. The ability to produce adequate amperage is based on the area of active material in each cell. At initial key on our bike only requires about 10amps (that is a guess....) but when the starter is activated it will jump to 150amps (also a guess...). A damaged battery (not enough surface area) will quickly deplete the active areas, as the battery voltage drops the starter solenoid or will de-power, and the battery will quickly recover its active areas and the process repeats. Sulfation is the most common cause both in old and "new" batteries. The term new is always used relative to when we buy the battery, but should be relative to when it was produced.

Many manufacturers have stopped using replaceable fuel filter. They are now built into the fuel pump module.

Well, if you took it apart "just to look" and the wear pattern is good, then the shims etc were all correct. Reassembly with the same will work, no measurement needed. If the crown wheel and bearing moved just a bit out of the carrier during disassembly it may take more than a whack with a rubber mallet to reseat them. Think big and brass, or a press. That noise in the video is common on dry units, but back-lash is a concern as this would indicate that not everything has found its way back to were it was. Running a diff with no backlash will quickly overheat the teeth and lead to chipping and other increased wear characteristics. When you used the rubber mallet did you have that stick of butter there, that could be an issue? (Sorry, just what came to mind when I saw the photo, I must be hungry.)
