  1. Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with Joel Levine Inc.; I am making a separate thread because his credentials were buried in a different post. Credit to LowRyter for sharing the address in the first place. I wanted this ITI odometer repair option to have its own thread for visibility purpose. Like many other owners of Moto Guzzi V11, my ITI/hUR odometer had stopped working at 8865 miles. As we all know, the instruments installed by Moto Guzzi on these V11 always were failure prone. Starting with the Veglia, and thereafter the ITI/hUR. By the way, after making contact with a specialist shop in Italy, they said the actual metering part of the gauge was made in Korea or Japan. Only the container that bears the name ITI was made in Italy. The guy that fixes these instruments here in the USA gets its parts from Japan. Maybe hUR is a Japanese company after all. So, here's included the message from Joel Levine Inc. from La Fayette in Georgia. This is an alternative to either purchasing a failure prone replacement Speedo/Odometer cluster, which are found on eBay (as I type this) for about USD 700, or the SpeedHut alternative which is well documented in its dedicated thread.

  2. Thanks, @docc The 300 km trip back home from Stryn is by far the longest, but not the only time I've ridden «Queenie Greeeeenie». I had some nice trips - alone and with friends - but not very far from home. My last trip was on 21st September 2019. A beautiful day! The sun was shining and almost no traffic: I posted this when I got home: (Later I discovered the fuel sensor cables were cut…) Fast forward. Had my first ride today! A short ride, because the charging lamp is still on. I measure 12,6VDC on the battery terminals with ignition off and 12,4V with the ignition on. With engine running it rises quickly to 14,2V when opening the throttle a bit. Could it still be the voltage rectifier, the battery, or both? Is this the one I need?: [Direct Regulator Rectifier V11 Naked Moto Guzzi](https://www.regulatorrectifier.com/catalog/2006-moto-guzzi-v11-naked-regulator-rectifier-direct) I also noticed the oil lamp doesn't light up when ignition is on. I guess it should do that. Coincident?

  3. Fuel was probably burning in the exhaust system. You've seen blue header pipes and thought it must be running lean? Not necessarily.

  10. I also ran into the ITI/hUR top quality syndrome. My odometer was dead on arrival! stuck on the same mileage for ever. After getting the Speedo/Odo out of the bike, I opened it to check the root cause of the issue, and what could have caused it. The worm screw that drives both the Speedo and the Odometer slowly ground itself until the thread was completely stripped. My explanation, and you are welcome to challenge it, is that the cheap design and build made for no adjustment of the intersect angle between the worm screw and the driven axle as seen on the pictures. The assembly is held together by cold clamping the instrument chassis. But thanks to LowRyter's tip, it appears I have a working repair solution now... So for those of you who run into the ITI/hUR stripped worm screw, here's one option, the email below is dated stamped today, May 13th, 2021.

  12. @hammershaug, is this the only time you have ridden your Queenie Greeeeenie? As much as I enjoyed following her down . . . . . . and back up . . . . . . and all the attention in between . . . . . . we are all looking forward to ride pictures from some exotic coastal location!
