umm... What?

Good on you. Buy em if you can, when you can, and while you can. Sort them out and decide what you can't live without. I should be so lucky.

that would be positioned to the rear at about "8 o'clock" but the mount bolt will secure it in any position you're tank's needs work best. My tank was a bit loose in the correct position so I rotated it a bit and it tightened up. ****PS Recall Docc's advice for red frame bikes ... You may encounter a situation where the forks strike the tank on full lock. See how much room you have before cutting these.

it was in this topic. Just found it.

update. Had my tank off, totally empty, for 4 weeks. I put it on a home made rack to simulate a frame mount while it rested and I did my tank-off stuff. It didn't tighten up on the rack to my surprise so I figured that wasn't much help, or maybe it was. Upon installing (you all know the drill) it was SO close to fitting... but the bolt would just not start. After 10 min of prying, fumbling and cursing, it hit me... cut back the front mount rubbers. Solved. I actually cut more than needed but I can rotate the 'lobe' to adjust the distance. disclosure: can't recall but I may have had this idea sparked by another thread

OMG, I'm such a neanderthal.. I used a 24" 2x8, laid on the bead (on the ground supported) and drove my truck tire up on it. it so worked.

drift

careful, yer on a Guzzi forum ...

I'm a fan of the LeMans I fairing.

Very nice. Can't wait for the long (and short) term report.

Also what rpm do you have at idle. Don't recall what's called for 1100?

I have evidence showing '99-'01 is KRAK, my '02 is KRAK, my '03 is KTC0. where does KS come in?

Harper's has them. I have not used this one. Always call Harper's for availability. http://www.harpermoto.com/replacement-for-fuel-pump-29107261.html

the tag likely fell off hitting one of the many potholes in the area (humor, some won't get it)

I purchased my Tenni new. The dealer for some odd reason did not have the certificate. Moto Guzzi USA was falling apart during this time. I can't recall now how, but I eventually made contact with Moto Guzzi Italy and a wonderful woman named Stefania. It took awhile but I finally got my certificate. I did know my 'number' though. That's likely your only hope of getting the number, unless you make contact with the original owner, and he remembers. The selling dealership might be some help as well. I feel your pain, I'd want to know. Regarding the process of elimination, the registry here does not see a lot of activity and some bikes get passed around rapidly. By this time some in UK may have come through Europe.

welcome Dave and congratulations on getting the Tenni. The certificate, if it was filled out to the original owner, should have included the special edition number. Also, the small rectangular plate on the top triple tree fork brace will have the number. The printing should be T-121 (that's mine) it may be worn away from the key fob beating against it. Get a good magnifier and light and have a look. Unfortunately it wasn't engraved, but printed on. Go here http://static.piaggio.com/recall/form-piaggio_en.html with the vin. It won't give the number but should confirm 'Tenni' It looks like it has all the correct pieces.

I do a complete flush as Scud describes but I use a turkey baster to empty the rez. Every two years. Just as the Satanic BMW tech's used to advise for my ABS Beem's. I thought I should give this a try this time .. http://pentosin.net/specsheets/Pentosin_SuperDot_4.pdf any thoughts?

Nice. We should just have our new tires delivered to your house then?

in 2000 my gf at the time and I were attending the Stugis motorcycle rally. We walked in to a bar on main street and sat for a beer. this guy comes out and starts to play. within a minute my gf looks at me and says "I think we're witnessing greatness" He looked to be maybe 22. We did not leave the place. We showed up to the same place the same night the following year.. and there he was again. Good times. There's not much out there on him. What there is is kind of sad. He went the way of so many beautiful artists. His recorded stuff is still great Funny story.. I asked his girlfriend how many albums he had, I wanted to buy some. She said "I don't know maybe 50 or so?" I said .. I mean how many different ones has he made? she said "oh, one or two I think" I bought 'em.

Trout's are excellent!

That's a personal choice imo. Some on the forum still run the alm flywheel, and some have replaced. I ran mine 13000 mi before I replaced it. It had no problems... just the one in my head. I got tired of the worry. I finally bit the bullet and did it myself. I am not a tech. I am a hobbyist mechanic. My greatest encouragement to do the job was this forum support and the realization that many tech's were probably more likely to f it up than I was. If I had had a tech I trusted I would have paid to have it done. My job turned out fine. I read all the threads, consulted a few members when I got stumped, and got to fix the nasty engine paint at the same time. I do know a shop now that I trust for something I can't handle, 100 mi. away in Cincinnati. Whatever you decide, find some Guzzi friends nearby.

Yes. It is commonly accepted knowledge that the stock air box is preferred. Guzzi put a lot of work into making the flow optimal, a long time ago. It's not just a box, it's an integral piece of the intake system. It is surely the 'tuner friendly' way to go. That said, Dr. John Wittner, who was instrumental in development of the spine frame, succeeded in putting Guzzi back in the racing limelight for a short time in the 80's, certainly used V stacks on at least some of his bikes. It can be done right, I just don't care enough to do it. I'd be interested in reading anyone's outcomes using pods if they care to post them.

If no fluid leaking then it must be air in the line. Pump the lever over and over again till something happens. It should get some resistance. As soon as you feel any pressure, bleed it of air.
