Sheesh, bud. Hate it when "Headlight/horn/brake light" makes a guy pull his tank and go down that rabbit hole . . . All those are on a common circuit through Relay#2 . . . Here's docc beatin' that OMRON High Current Relay drum again . . . Not the first time nipples get involved and complicate things. . .

http://www.dpguzzi.com/ Pyro Dan knows all about Guzzi relays and sells GEI which is what he thinks is the best one. Better than Omron. Anyway, get all relays for about $30 from Dan and then keep a couple of old ones for spares in the tank bag. Relays won't fix a bad connection. So clean those sockets regularly.

Hi all. Today i buy new Angel GT Tyres for my Lemans v11

RIP Dale Walksler. A passion for American made motorcycles for sure, but an undeniable and likely unequaled dedication to the preservation of the history of the marque. I've been to Wheels Through Time several times over the years. (An easy ride from the cabins at the annual Southern Spine Raid too) I don't know what Guzzi has for a museum but I would be thrilled to see a collection even Half the size of this one dedicated to Moto Guzzi. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "It is with heavy hearts that we at Wheels Through Time let you know that our beloved founder, curator, and friend Dale Walksler passed away peacefully, with his wife by his side, at home on February 3, 2021, after a courageous four year battle with cancer. In 1967 at the age of 15, Dale built his first motorcycle, sparking a life-long love affair with American Motorcycles and their history. At 22, Dale established a Harley/Davidson Franchise in Mt. Vernon, Ill: Dale’s Harley-Davidson. His signal success as a dealer grew to include the decades-long work that would define his life: the creation of the museum we now know as Wheels Through Time. As the museum collection grew, so too did Dale’s vision for the museum, his reputation, his mechanical and curatorial skills, and a goal of always exceeding expectations of customers and guests. In 2002 Dale opened the Wheels Through Time Museum in Maggie Valley, NC. From humble beginnings in a small Illinois town, one of the world’s premier collections of rare and vintage American motorcycles, automobiles, and memorabilia emerged. Wheels Through Time became an Iconic American Institution and known internationally. Those who have visited Wheels Through Time know that Dale’s passion was not just something to be observed but rather experienced. Whether it was listening to his vast knowledge and stories of transportation history or watching him start a motorcycle, his was a passion that was infectious. It inspired in many, that same desire to preserve and celebrate American motorcycle history. His genius rested on the latter portion of the Wheels Through Time logo, “The Museum That Runs.” Dale was a man of vision, zeal, intensity, imagination, and generosity. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and the staff at Wheels Through Time, and as well as by the countless tens of thousands who have visited the museum. Dale’s vision was not just one of preserving the past but was also focused on the future. In that regard, he made great strides to ensure that the museum and his legacy would carry on for generations to come. A celebration of Dale’s life will be announced at a later date. At this time, we ask for privacy for the family as they mourn his passing. At Dale’s request, in lieu of flowers, please send any donations and condolences to Wheels Through Time, PO Box 790, Maggie Valley, NC 28751. All donations will be dedicated to ensuring the continuance of the legacy that Dale created far into the future and to giving museum visitors historical insight into the vital role that transportation has played in American history. The thrill of hearing the cycles run coupled with thoughts of riding into the wind will continue to evoke thoughts of Dale’s vibrant spirit --- and his dream."-Wheels Through Time. https://wheelsthroughtime.com/?mc_cid=1b8743def3&mc_eid=c0a8951fb2 I recommend it to all enthusiasts.

Woooo . Angus MacGyver !

So, the turn signals are on a different circuit. As 80CX100 says, there are suppliers that still stock them. Look at the linked post in that thread for “online components.” Swapping #2 with a minimally stressed relay like #3 might help confirm the issue, but a full set of OMRON High Current relays (G8HE) is a good move, regardless.

It might take some searching on here or wildguzzi, but I know I've read threads recently that there were still at least 2 suppliers that still had NOS of those Omron relays. good luck

Its good knowing that they are still out there in like new condition. However I have yet to find a Tenni in that condition............. Ciao

I bought this one https://www.lowes.com/pd/Greenworks-Pro-Greenworks-Gen2-2300-Pressure-Washer/1003196492 last year and find it does everything I need. Not too big not too small. I've used the med-wide tip to wash the house, and narrow for concrete and old wood fencing. The really wide tip is kind of useless. Bear in mind for serious cutting it will be a narrow swath, an inch or so, so it will use a lot of water. I wish sometimes it was bigger but I don't want gas powered and don't want to pay more, so..... I Had a $1k gas powered John Deere 3800psi in the past and it was a hand full to operate and had a LOT of maintenance, so I sold it to the neighbor and he sold it after he used it. It was great but not worth the effort as a "homeowner" level tool. It's tough to decide your needs till you've used one.

After doing a good vacuum and sweep of the garage, I think I want to pressure wash everything to get the dirt etc off of the wood. I know I can rent a pressure washer, but are there decent pressure washers to buy for not too much, like around $200 or so? Any recommendations? It seems like that would be a handy thing to have around, and I can find other uses it may be a good thing to just buy to have around.

Also worth noting that we can pull a 27mm axle nut and use that the work the filter cover.

Hi Grim, I know I'm late to the party but FWIW my '02 Scura would backfire then spit off the RH inlet rubber after 100 miles. Replaced the inlet rubber & issue resolved, even found the low fuel light works as I now get 180 miles per tank. Rgds. Noel

Thanks Pete I meant to mention that Brad would likely be booked out for ages! Yep, both blokes are bloody good and great to deal with as well. Cheers Guzzler Ps I'd better get get back to work ha ha

Brad always seems to be booked out for months as far as I can make out. Rob's good. Well they're both good but Rob is probably going to be easier to get an appointment with.

I'll be serious for a change. I've kept 17 Guzzis now.. I've tried all of the "modern" Guzzis from the V700 to the Norge. Big block, small block, 2V, 4V. It's the engine. I love the sound and feel of Guzzi engines. Maybe the sweetest was the Monza.. but the Aero engine has it's own character, too. Then there is the Mighty Scura which is not too subtle about what it's about. I also loved the Centauro engine. Like all Guzzi engines, it wants you to feel involved in it's care and feeding. Sweet runner, too.. after a bit of sorting.
