The small arc seems to have done something. Would you by any chance while doing up the positive terminal flashed your wrench onto the ECU. You must always disconnect the Negative terminal first and reconnect it last, that way you cannot short the battery. I helped another owner who had flashed to the ECU, this had overheated the ground wire which melted and shorted a few other wires inside the loom to ground, luckily the wire doesn't go too far and he was able to repair the damage with tape. Exactly what I did... I know it's mechanic's 101 stupid mistake. I think I got that all sorted though, I hope.

it is supposed to be running to get that 525mV right?

I'm getting pretty fast at this whole process as Ive done it three times this week. My bike is running loads better.... but still kinda snatchy especially past 3500 rpm. I guess the only two pieces of this process that are still a little vague to me are the step after balancing the TBs ar idle when you're supposedly able to measure around .521 volts.... mine is like .221 at 1100-1200 rpm if I crank the left Idle pos. way down (4.5-5k rpm) it still only reads .300 something. The other part I'm foggy about and this may go hand in hand, is that the right idle screw is never sipposed to be turned back in.... I have just been getting it close to making contact when I connect the sync. rod back up.... ?? is this right??

whew! alot of "huntin" in the rev range like uncontrollable almost. She smells pretty stinky too. Rich? Can I just adjust the TPS or will that mess up my well synced TBs?

U name the time and place... could be... its friggin long it goes into the abyss and I lose it with the tank on. Definitely not from the reg. I hope so it looks fairly clean, guess you don't often hear about trans. leaking. But she's running better I've got the TBs balanced now and there's still some popping and farting happening but I'll play with it you guys are lifesavers!!

DOCC, if you sir ever find yourself in FL I owe you a lot of beer!! While searching for the neutral switch (besides residual oil dripping from god knows where???) I see under the right side horn a dangling ground..... no idea where it was bolted to but I bolted it on the oil cooler bracket and away she goes, running fine, headlight is off when bike is off..... Any idea where this ground is supposed to go?? haha seems a little close to the headers where I put it (3/4")? Its gotta be the neutral light switch ground I guess.

All new relays... Same thing. The weird thing is that the fuel pump won't prime until I put up the kickstand. No neutral light push the starter button... cick! nothin... Man I waited 13 yrs. to get one of these seems like the guzzi gods are out to get me. I'm not giving up but a little gutted at this moment. Maybe this weekend I can take the ignition switch out. Not sure what to look for but we'll see. Thanks again guys

So last night i ran out of power. charged up my battery (off the bike). hooked back up this morning and got a small arc. nothing major got the tps setup lined up fairly easily. mucho gracias to everyone. Started her up and she idled like never before. woohoo. so im gonna ride around the block before work than balance my tbs when i get home. kickstand up and. she dies. nothing no starter no neutral light just a faint oil light... key off back on.... nada. now even with key off headlight is on... disconnect batt. go to work.... Damnit!!! There is a short somewhere... kickstand sensor?? She was glorious for a short while..

Wow... I cannot for the life of me get a steady reading. I've got paper clips in the back of the harness and it is bouncing all over from like 350-130 in the 2v range. I've got the right idle screw backed out like 3/8" does it have to be completely out?? Can't understand how this could change my readings?? maybe I should try something different for a connection?? Right now I'm a little frustrated. tomorrow's another day.

Hey guys, Long time lurker here with a new to me 02 v11 lemans. I'm trying to get a strangle hold on this TPS reset/TB balance thing and the part that I thought would be simple is turning out to be more complicated than I had expected. Anywhoo, My first question is when checking mV?? what should I set my multimeter too?? next question, if put I little clips on my multi. (as opposed to probes) would that somehow reduce mV and throw off my reading? I'm sure the further i get into this I will have more questions and appreciate any help you guys could give me. The little bit I rode this bike were glorious and after all riding this thing is my goal.
