Guys thanks for your interest and your response, i feel like i am not alone... I mounted the air temp sensor to the spine frame, all sensors working good. I unscrew the 2 torx screws and rotate the tps... Is there another way to adjust it? I can't use the original plastic tubes as my pods are 52mm , unless if i cut them, but i'll make new ones from aluminium and polish the inside of the tube... I still think that fuel is not my problem, the only reason for going pcIII is to make a more precise adjustment, as i could flood the cylinders with fuel (with mathesis diagnostic) and still hear that sound. The thing that has to be adjust in my opinion is the timing... ...i have to advance it or to retard it, but how is that possible? In tontis we just had to rotate the distributor... Huhhh...good times...

Hmmm... yes pre-detonation sounds right. It sounds like the piston rings hits the sides of the cylinder. Unfortunately, i can't put back the airbox, i wish i could, because the fuel pump is mounted there at the moment. The think that makes me go crazy is that you still have a pinging noise with the airbox on it and with all that efford. I was wondering about fitting velocity stacks in the pods, some guys here mentioned that it helps. I feel like there is no solution... I even thought about carbs... (can't afford it at this time)

Hello Guzzistas, I have a v11 le mans 2002 with 32.000km and the last month i've been trying to get it work right, unfortunately with no good results (enough). I have post another topic complaining about the low end of my v11, finally i go to Raceco valve specs and the bike work fine, but it seems i have another complain too. My nightmare began when the first hot day arrives. (35 degrees of celcium,and it's only Spring in Greece). After 10-12 km the bike start running like hell. As you notice it's a 2002 model so it was the classic fuel pump problem. I relocate the fuel pump and remove the filter box (something i really don't like). I install pods, and then my dead end begins...With the agostini exhaust and with the pods the bike was running really poor. I then install my pcIII,I was trying to calibrate the throttle but i couldn't. My tps was failed (i don't know why,it looks like a coincidence). I change it and unplug the pcIII. Then i go to my mechanical in order to fix the ''poor'' thing. We plug the bike to Ducati Mathesis diagnostic tool. We change the tps angle from 3,3 to 4,6. I go for a ride and the bike was a dream, but when it was hot and i violently open the throttle i heard the bike ticking over (or pitting) i don't know how to say it in English. Still poor was my though, go back and change to mixture from -29co (from factory i think) to -19. Even better, but when it was hot and hardly accelerated from 5.000rpm to 6.000rpm i heard that thicking noise again. Still poor i though again. Go back and go from -19 to -9. Even better, but when hot, i heard that noise from 4.000rpm to 5.000rpm. Go back again, i think my mechanic wants to kill me, and go from -9 to 0. Too rich the bike was running like on one cylinder but STILL, still this F***ing noise... So my though is the ignition timing. Is there any way to chance the ingnition angle (advanced it or retarded ?) or the ignition map? Any ideas how to fix this problem? Please any help will be appreciated, Keep Guzzing

Dangerous it had an agostini 1000cc kit + headwork,PHM 40,silent hektik...e.t.c Believe me, it's a lot, lot more terrifying, because you got almost the same motor and power with 120/90/18 rear wheel tyre... Things now seems like getting in place... Thank you guys for the respond, This week i'll try valve adjustment and further adjustments (tps, throttle bodies) and then i'll see if thinks get any better (i'm sure it will). I will keep you informed... till then, i have about 1,5cm to wear my tyre from side to side...

Hello, I'm a newbie here and a rookie to injection models so,this is my first post... After my Le mans 3 (1000cc, dellorto 40 phm , + + + ) I decide to buy a lovely v11 Le mans 2002 with 28.000km on it Impressions? Unfortunately, Not so good... It seems really weak, Hmmmm, ok, i don't buy it to set fire to the road or to compare it with ''4 in line'' constructions, but damn... it's no good. It has the well known 2-3.000 rpm gap and no ''low rpm torque'' that we all love to our classic guzzi. If i wanted a mid to high rpm ''bicillindrico'' motor i sould buy a Ducati. But, there's a really big but... I love Guzzi, in fact it's the only motorcycles i want to ride... So... After reading a lot in the forum,i get melted eyes and a headache... Sum up: How i could get my v11 running smoother and little bit faster? what should i go first? (valve clearances? x-pipes? good adjustment? air filter?) I want the old classic +1 or +2 gear up driving...and when i decide i put -1 or -2 gear and became a road terrorist... Can i get that in a V11? I have already fitted agostini carbon cans... Please help, i have to save this wedding... Thanks and Regards Strift_daddy
