Hmmm, loose batt terminals? Plugs not tight? Crudded up fuel filter?? Split intake rubbers??? You will also be asked when you last checked the tps...

Mmm, that is nice. Something funky going on with the speedo drive?

From those pix it looks in great nick for a 12yo. They're lovely bikes, hope you bond well!

Off-roading eh? Got a sound vid at all?

Nice v7. I went down to the guzzi shop the other day- the paint jobs are lovely on yhe new machines. Sat on a griso....

Some folks seem to drive around only half aware.... They should learn to ride motorbikes, that'd sharpen up their observation skills!

Anyone got an idea on duty charges from oz tut uk?

Is there something holding it off slightly (battery? Toolkit?)

Hmm dunno, the hanger is welded on and the joint weld runs on the inside too. That repair thread is great, not sure if ive the time, or skills, to repair mine- the damage is quite bad.

I've never fitted the bally fairing that mine came with- it looks hideous, but i tried a small puig jobby, it was awful over 70mph due to shooting air straight in me mug.

Yeah he stopped and was fairly contrite about it. Initially he wanted to settle it there&then but i pointed at the can and said 'they cost over 650 quid'. Plus the bike landed on my helmet... His insurance has accepted and handed over to the claims company. I await a response.

Someone reversed into her while she was parked up by the road.

Boo hoo hoo hooooo

Those mistrals i have are superb quality- beautiful sound and not bling at all.

Heh! Do it! Film it, post the vid! And er... Ouch- wishing you a good recovery.

Sir has good taste in bikes! Love those trx's, i looked at acouple before settling on my v11.

How much are they? There're some nice looking mivv silencers on ebay at the moment for £380. A taxi driver reversed into my bike last week wrecking the lovely titanium mistral so i'll be needing new ones too. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-EXHAUST-MIVV-X-CONE-ST-ST-M006LC2-MOTO-GUZZI-V11-2002-02-2003-03-2004-04-/111876652254?hash=item1a0c5e3cde:g:~dAAAOSwpRRWmjR0

Hey up jb, i checked my bike's tps today- it was reading low at 90Mv. Checked plugs too and they were bolloxed. Once sorted the snatchiness disappeared completely, now feels lovely at lower speeds.

Definitely not a crudded up neutral switch?

Mine's got a little snatchy of late too. One easy way around it is to rotate the throttle from the elbow rather than the wrist. Kinda extending the lever effect and allowing more control over small throttle inputs. Free too and keeping me going till i get round to a proper tune-up. Throttle Tamer is an interesting idea but possibly a sticking plaster? ... Having had her running very well in the past, i don't think we should put up with crappy low speed performance.

These clips have been awkward to fit....... The old 'bars I was using: Tarozzis set in foremost position: Everything fitted perfectly in the forward position, but the stretch gave me wrists awful gip and alarming head-shakes... So I tried: Tarozzis set in rearward position: This position felt comfortable enough, but as the master cylinders fouled the top of the forks I had to lower them. This led to a vague feeling from the front end. Set any nearer and the risers would hit the tank when turning the bars. So compromise was: Finally got some measure of satisfaction here. Wrists quite happy, forks set just right in the yolks which gives a great feel thru the suspension and no head-shaking. Cables etc seem routed well. Only problem, and it'll need addressing, is that with the risers turned 'flat side forwards', the master cylinders rest up against them. This means they won't rotate down for comfort. I shimmed the brake lever forward 1mm, not ideal but it works. Can't shim the clutch lever forward due to the fast idle control so the clutch is a bit uncomfortable. I could take a file to the risers maybe and nitch out a groove to allow the master cylinders to rotate but I'd like to hear other opinions before doing this!
