I want to apologize for this in advance. My brain hurts from current events . . . "I don't like SPAM !!! " Spam-Spam-Spam-Spam- Spam-Spam-Spam-Spam- SHUT-UP!-SHUUT-UUUUP!

But what of the Swallows?

now for all the other adjustments. EVERY one of them is critical. Make sure you follow these procedures and you understand what/why you are doing them. Once you have your epiphany , you will smack your forehead and think "this was too easy" .

I can't remember the base v but, the 0.157v is the # you want to adjust the throttle plate to from fully closed. IDK how to find this procedure I posted here some time ago. I do remember , EVERY step is critical and you follow EVERY step to a T. I hate getting old ! I can remember an event at 1 1/2 yrs.old , the 1st day of school. all my 1sts. but I cain't remember where I laid my car keys.

I will have to check my tool box before I leave to see the SnapOn part # of the tool I use to play with this stuff.

+1 on the value of a lift. I use mine for the Sport's parking place, so it only takes up "some" extra space. A couple considerations on the right side idle stop. A long shaft "ball end" hex drive could be the ticket. Yet, many of us simply leave it defeated and use the left (easy access) stop and the throttle linkage for idle. This method might put more emphasis on final idle synchronization using the air bypass screws after using the linkage (white knob) to synch at "some rpm."

You are 100% correct...the only epiphany I have had so far is that apparently I'm missing something or I have a wandering TPS even after snugged down and triple verified, but I'm patient enough to go thru it again and again until I get it right. I'd like to address the building of a small allen wrench with a 120 degree angle and a gear drive on it so I could just insert it and move a dial back and forth to turn that bloody RHS idle screw...it's a royal PITA to do it in such small increments. I'm also realizing that I would enjoy this a bit more if I had a moto lift, but my garage space is too valuable to put another device in there at the moment between the sports car, 3 motorcycles, 4 bicycles, 2 unicycles and a few other toys!

Fully laden? Off you go!

Mind if we call you Bruce?

That’s what I’ve got. Indoor Bikebubble from carcoon. Bought a new one a couple of years ago, and managed to find another unused one on the bay of fleas last year. Got a VMax 1700 squeezed into another one, they come in various sizes

I couldn’t say if it diffuses Shell Rotella, but I’ve often thought about climbing inside with a V11 to see if it’ll help arrest my own aging, and help with my preservation

Thanks Gstallons…I have your write up as well as a reference! Fully aligned on the 0.157 as the TPS volt reading with the throttle plate fully closed. That’s done now!

Ok, I have been on the receiving end of criticism on this forum, many years ago, for the price I was asking for a V11 on CL. I haven't seen that member post for a very long time, but I've since tried to avoid "scrutinizing" someone else's sale. Even on ebay, cl, etc as they might be a current or future forum member. So I tend to keep my mouth shut even when obvious misrepresentations occur. But, when another currently active member shows interest in an "unknown" advertised bike, I think it behooves us to point out "curiosities" in a tactful way. Tact is not a strong point of mine but I do try. It might be a great buy. Hopefully whomever ends up as the owner will add it, and themselves, to "we few, we happy few."

Seems mySport is trying to write an encyclopedia . . .

Thanks a lot Jaap, that is also what I read; 2003-2004 were tough years in Mandello. I sent an e-mail to the Moto Guzzi client service; let's see what comes out...

My guess is even Moto Guzzi itself doesn't know!
