Why I should leave it to the Pros

[GuzziMoto]

Yes.

 

Edit: You can use other combustable products, not just propane.

Does this work every time?

 

Yes, even WD-40.

Does this work every time?

a spray can of starting fluid would work too.

brake cleaner

 

Every change in idle speed indicates a leak in the intake line. According to my experience the idle speed decreases when a spray of gas is applied.

I'm glad your Siemens relays are still going. .....

 

In most cases it's just the relais sockets that fail. They're cheap and also very often the whole unit is in contact with the seat. Pull the relais, clean the sockets, check the tension of the clamps and drive on. Same with the fuses. Does anybody really believe Siemens would produce relais especially for Guzzi and then for the V11 only

 

...Take what you can get but I would rather a good Guzzi mechanic worked on mine then a good mechanic, and I would go to a Harley mechanic before a Japanese brand mechanic. ....

 

A good Guzzi mechanic sure is good for a Guzzi. But is he good just because he has the right eagle spread over the back of his suit? I know a lot of especially Guzzi mechanics that say: "I've tried a lot so far, then I thought I always loved Guzzis - why not make a living out of it?"
