What is the real deal for this bike?

It has a Mistrall pipe and is totally stock from there. Good bottom end, good top end......no go in the middle. Can it be fixed to smooth out, run stronger in the middle? Without great expense and trial and error? Help appreciated.
 
Pete,
Sorry to give you the heavy sigh..............I will do better. No DB Killer and whatever map comes with the bike. In Dallas Guzzi specialization or even competency is hard to come by.

Well, my dealer says there is no "68 map"

I have Mapping 2230G801
Software # MG978406.0

According to the shop any thoughts? Anyone?
 
Well it's obvious I'm a complete liar who hasn't a clue what I'm talking about.

Or.....

Your dealer doesn't understand the tooling or the machine so it's not surprising your bike runs like a dog.


My bike runs just fine.


Follow the dots......................................................................


To a dealer that knows what they're doing :idea: :arrow:

Nope. Doesn't exist, sorry. :roll:

Probably told you that the can't be reprogramed either :cry:

Now somewhere, (I have a horrible time finding stuff on this board but that's because I'm stupid.) I wrote up an article I called 'Using Axone for morons and under fives' or some such. Using Navigator is very, very similar. All it needs is to find a shop where they have enough confidence in their own ability to actually USE the tooling. Show 'em my instructions if you like. it MIGHT just help them get a few more satisfied customers.

Pete,

Many, many thanks for your efforts and guidence on my poochy Guzzi,

Best regards from Dallas,

Skinny, Stumpy and Hairy will be able to get it running sweet as a nut. They've currently got my other shitbox in their tender care and they did all the work on My Scura because not only are they 100% trustworthy but they know their shit. That's the reason they are the second most successfull Guzzi dealer in the USA after Moto International. Yes, there are a host of other really good dealers but there still seems to be a huge disconnect between the number of places that SELL Guzzis and the number of people who KNOW how to work on them. The terrifying thing is if they can't work on a stone-axe simple POS like a Guzzi one has to fear what happens when you extrapolate that lack of care/ability to something more complex!!!!

Hint; If the staff are all squeaky clean, dressed in immaculately pressed and spotlessly clean overalls and the workshop looks like the inside of an operating theatre? Run away! If the staff all look 'presentable' and the workshop looks like 'Work' goes on there? You've probably found the 'Real Deal'. Older blokes with dirt under their fingernails and grey hair are probably a better bet than a 22 year old with a back-to front baseball cap and something that looks like a Hulla-Hoop stuck in the side of his head. Older blokes sometimes do 'Grumpy' :D . Get used to it, we have good reason. But while we are sometimes a bit monosylabic and a bit lacking in 'People Skills' you'll usually find that we know what we're doing and if we do get stuck we ain't afraid to ask our peers. It's a 'Confidence' thing... :lol:

You'll also find that offerings of Beer or similar act as a great 'Lubricant' to social interaction :mrgreen:

Examples of the breed.

Hmm... prime Guzzi fettlers, you say? But they are all wearing daft hats (backwards/sideways/anyways), clearly don't have a pair of sound eyes between them, are under the influence of the devil's buttermilk, don't know what are the proper parts of their heads to grow hair from and they display all the cultured poise and sensitivity of a turnip patch.
:silly:
