  1. Drawing updated with everyone's feedback.
  2. Use a host then, no limits.
  3. Dammit you're right. Both the owners manual and shop manual I have used crappy photocopies of the wiring diagram that came from who knows where. There is a later (catalytic equipped) wiring diagram that is clearer but is slightly different from the earlier 15M models.
  4. I believe I isolated the coils in the wiring diagram. If not at least this might be a start.
  5. One week!
  6. Seems a shame to part that out. How much for the whole thing?
  7. It's to weed out the nonbelievers!
  8. Too be honest when I got off the test ride and back onto the Greenie it felt like a 250. Ok, maybe a 600 but it felt a lot smaller. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Keep in mind that somethings look better in person, or don't photograph well (same thing). Shape and volume are hard to photograph and Italian stuff (motorcycles and women come to mind) tend to have lovely shapes, some that photograph well and some need to be appreciated in the flesh.
  10. It would be the new Griso, just because it's the meatiest Guzzi in the line. But I'm holding out hope for some 2018 models!
  11. I'd love to see someone sketch up a wiring diagram for just the coils.
  12. Beautiful bike.
  13. I was looking at my coworker’s bike today and realized his front tire is almost the same size as the rear tire on a V11 Sport. At 2300cc that triple is bigger than a lot of cars on the road. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Shipping from the UK will cost as much as the item.
  15. Long range forecast was making me nervous. Still looks like rain on Thursday and Friday but not much. Saturday looks great. Has anyone been following Craig Rodsmith's V9 build? It'll be at Barber. This guy is hilarious, although you don't want to have the volume up at work.
  16. Why are you parting it out?
  17. Actually I was wondering how the mechanical part work. What does the TPS connect to inside the TB?
  18. That was an expensive lesson...
  19. I belive coils have different resistance values. Something like 3 ohms, etc. If the wrong coils were used could they burn up?
  20. I had an FZ09 for a while, same basic bike as the FJ. Yes, ugly but a truly amazing engine. I test rode the FZ when it came out. Most disappointing motorcycle in memory, terrible suspension and worst throttle EVER! Frame and engine were great. I suppose I was let down by my expectations but no way would I ever get a gen 1 FZ. Actually all those bikes are too ugly for my taste. Too bad they don't make an FJ with good looks. Still jonesin' for the SS..... I think they fixed the throttle on later models.
  21. So bad ECU or bad ground at ECU causing someone funky at the ECU?
  22. Dave, almost forgot. Here's the disemboweled TPS. Just don't stare at it too long. You won't be able to sleep. The photo is so tiny I had to stare at it for a while. Having only loosened the TPS to adjust it how does it work?
  23. With twice the horses it's not surprising...
  24. I thought the engine was the ground wire for the coil?
