I've got over 1000 more kms on her since the service. At that point the tech found the tb's way out of sync. When he synced them it ran smooth and quiet. I am now travelling on an extended tour and to this point the bike has been running fairly well except for the notorious 300rpm range. I have also been running in cool wet weather and I thought she was acting up a bit in the real wet but that could have been just me. Today tho, with the weather heating up she seemed to progressively run worse and worse with increased vibration. The noise level is also way up. The power was also lacking. If I stopped for 20 minutes it seemed to run ok till it heated up and then got worse and worse. I took a motel an hour ago and pulled the plugs. The left, the side I felt was working harder than the other, showed normal burning characteristics. The right side showed just a little hotter and whiter. Now I'm in Nelson BC with nary a Guzzi Tech in sight. This is what I was afraid would happen.
