Nah, not mad Guzzi's can be a love/hate relationship.
I sure hope it all gets taken care of & you can get in some good riding.
Thanks Trout!

All Right!!!
What was it?
As long as it is running & you get to enjoy it!
Your faith and support of your garage / mechanic is admirable. I hope it is not misplaced. It does sound like they are guessing, though. And that is usually not a good sign.
Where are you located, roughly?
Any chance the shop can let you "borrow" another Guzzi like the one you have? If you rode that one for a few days it might give you something to compare yours to.
I'm looking at leaving it with them at the start of autumn for an overhaul, as again it's not fixed the problem unfortunately. It's not been a good start to my motorcycling career, weather on my (very few) days off have been bad also. Oh well, it will keep gojng back until Guzzi run out if parts! Thanks for the information though, appreciated!Fair enough. I have long since learned that the ecu cannot actually tell you what is wrong. It can only give you information that you can combine with other tests and experience to figure out what is wrong. For example, I had a bike that was giving me a code indicating a bad O2 sensor. So I replaced it. Didn't make a difference, the problem was the same. I figured out that it had a sticking fuel injector and that was making it think the O2 sensor was bad. The ecu saw the rich mixture, kept leaning out the mixture, and it did not see a change in the O2 reading. This was made worse by the bike being a twin with the O2 sensor reading off the bad cylinder. So it decided the O2 sensor was bad. I swapped injectors and the problem mostly went away, but it still didn't run right. It then ran OK on the good cylinder. So I replaced the stick injector and all was good.
Curious...
Exact same problem as before?
Any changes at all?
I'm watching!
Almost sounds like a loose wire, bad ground, rubber piece with hairline crack........something stupid & simple.
Dang shame really. Guzzi's are the one bike that even after an all day ride I still want to be back in the saddle.
I'm really hoping you get to experience that.
I'm still thinking it's something simple like plug caps or loose plug wire and they just over look it and throw parts at it hoping to get lucky.
