    B11 etc. gas tank install

    Seems we always struggle to get a gas tank bolted back on 'cause of the swelling I suppose. So my buddy developed a fool proof method. He uses a couple of mallets. See the pic for configuration. Rotate the rear mallet towards the front. This allows you to see into the bolt hole and check...

    B11 stalls at idle

    Have an odd one here. Just got done with a clutch job on my buddy's B11. Everything went well putting it together. Bike runs while driving. But stalls after its at idle for a minute or so. Also seems to be misfiring at start up. Little history: Was running great before the project was...

    Intake Manifold Removal

    Well, I'm dealing with the results of poor guzzi dealer service. One of the intake manifold vacuum port threads was damaged by an over eager mechanic. The threads lasted about 4 years, then I resorted to a glob of rtv silicone over the evap vacuum line connection. Time to finally take care of...

    SHOEI RF 1200

    Hey! Anybody using one of these with a Sena communicator? any communicator I guess would be the same. I was using a Shoei Qwest. Worked fine, but I suspect the Sena 10 mounting bracket may be in the perfect spot to be a hammer on a clavicle. Anyway, to the point. I was at a shop with a...

    Fractured clavicle healing

    Here's something I've learned from my little mishap last summer and I hope no one else needs it but here it is anyway. 1) A 'non dislocated fracture' doesn't mean it won't move after the x-ray. 2) ER Docs or step-down ward docs don't give orthopedic advice. They just want you to live and...

    It's too late...

    ... to ride Hwy 299 as it once was. When I was on 299 between Redding and Douglas City CA last spring, Caltrans was cutting through the mountains straightening out the road. Too twisty for the big rigs. :( :( :cry: :cry: Seems criminal, if you zoom in on Google Maps satellite view you can...

    Gear Box not shifting properly on CARC bike

    Well my '06 B11 has been working flawlessly until last Saturday. I rode to a friends house, about 25 miles away - no problems. We left about 3 hours later for a ride and lunch, it shifted fine in low speed traffic, but as soon as we reached the freeway approach. It would not shift into...

    Where the deer and the antelope play...

    I have about 200k miles under my belt, in 30+ years of riding. I figure at least half of that is touring. I've been to the middle twice, to the other big pond once and toured the northwest and southwest dozens of times. I only seen one antelope in all that time until a couple of days ago...

    Northwest events

    It's going good! Yeah, I saw your posts on your new G12. I'm sure you love it. Got back a couple of weeks ago from the Jim Brandes Memorial campout. Lots-O-Rain but the Aviation Museum was a fun pass time. Dick and Gayle hadn't posted the Deep Forrest event on the MGNOC website so I hadn't...

    Guzzi sighting on TV show

    Thought a thread on this subject but couldn't find it. My wife had the TV on the retro channel. The Boinic Woman was on so I watched a couple of minutes of it, then a cop approached a cop bike to get on. I got my hopes up, then disappointment it was an H-D. A little later in the show a cop...

    CARC Drive shaft rebuild?

    Well, my buddy and me got the swing arm off on his Breva to grease the swing arm bearing. Bearings looked okay and one side even has some grease. But when I was started putting the drive shaft back on I noticed that the spider that mates with the final drive doesn't move freely. Dealer...

    Removing a spade terminal from a connector block

    Hi All Anyone know how to remove a spade terminal from a mini relay Bosch block connector (relay socket). I have a V11 sport with wire connecting two of the blocks with damaged insulation. It would be nice to make the repair instead of ordering a new wiring harness, especially if it take a...

    TPS setting value for V11 Sport

    I found conflicting information on the TPS setting for the V11 LeMans. The training video on Greg Bender's This Old Tractor. Says to set it at 3.8. The procedure I found on V11LeMans.com says to set it at 3.5. And the shop manual says to leave this to an authorized dealer. :? I've tuned...
