Thanks, docc! I hope you enjoyed the weekend riding your V11 as well.

I'm back on track and everything seems okay! I noticed a huge improvement in gear shift action, thanks to Lucky Phil/Chuck-made shift lever extender. More importantly, I have charging again. The Shindengen 847 was a good investment for sure. A day to remember. I wouldn't be here without all the advisory from @Tomchri @Rolf Halvorsen @docc and all you other guys on the forum. A big thanks to y'all! The coughing at 3000rpm has gotten worse, but I'm confident that a full tune-up will make a difference. Never ever done that.

Thanks, @docc Time will tell. I don't have the nerves to test it out for real, so have to drain the tank in the garage someday. I have a bad feeling about this sensor because the wires were cut when I bought the bike.

I read somewhere about fuel level sensor resistance should be around 1 Kohm when covered in fuel. (cold) My sensor measures 6.4 Kohm when covered in fuel. Has anybody made the measurement? Is there hope - or is it fried?

I've seen Brad a lot on YouTube. A lot of Guzzi-stuff. Take shelter and ride the green beast when the sun is shining.

Good evening mate! Regarding the «3 wires something», the V11 has a single-phase stator while the Shindengen regulator is made for 3-phase. Jack from Roadstercycle confirmed it works with both systems. Just to cut and crimp one of them - and use any 2 of the 3, he told. The original Ducati R/R has a connection for reference voltage, which connects to the charging light. No such on the Shindengen. That's why the lamp died for good I guess:) No lamp - no problem... haha!

Bolted on the Shindengen 847 MOSFET regulator today. Charging 14.5V. Yes, I can finally go for a ride:) No more charging light. No charging light ever(?) because the blue and red/black wire to the charge lamp(reference voltage) has no connection with the new regulator. Is there a way to get it back, or do I have to look for another type of voltage monitoring? EDIT: I like simplicity. This is simplicity: SparkBright Eclipse No-brainer?

I have been studying Carl Allisons electrical scheme of 1999 V11 and «Guzzi wiring - Simple» from [mention=7430]Kiwi_Roy[/mention] My suspicion is a bad ground connection on the 12-way Amp connector under the instrument panel - or wiring to the signal lamps. Signal lamps for oil pressure, low fuel and generator have common ground connection. The former owner told me about the replaced ignition switch, because of «some issues...» The fuel sensor and the electric petcock wiring was cut when I bought the bike. Coincident, or could it be a connection here? Should the fuel sensor measure 1kohm when wet?

I will check tomorrow. Don’t think it went higher than 14,2 at any rpm, but wasn’t paying attention to the tachometer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And yes, I promise to post pictures from some exotic coastal location this summer. Well, at least some fjords

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?

News from North It's May in two days. The snow is falling down outside my window, so I escaped the temple, went into my living room and ended up in front of my stereo. I'm spinning a Near Mint 1st pressing of Bobby Darin's Commitment and dreaming of warmer days on the Greenie. I've fed miss Greenie 3,5l of Motul 15W50 today. Gave her a set of new NGK silicone spark plug cables and continued cleaning the headers. Forgive med «fathers» for I have sinned. I've replaced the Air-box with a set of K&N RU-1780. I have read all pros and cons in the forum, and I may regret it. No problem. The Airbox is stored with all parts intact. Even the original ambient air temperature sensor. A new NTC thermistor (3kOhm at 25°C) will be mounted at the front - away from the cylinders. Then I have to check the TPS value and fuel trim/CO with GuzziDiag. Never did that before. Thank God for Decent tune-up!

Congrats! Nice Greenie. Have you considered a LiPo battery? Just curious.

Thanks a lot for the information, Mikko. I don't know s*it:) I don't care for the Centauro design. Half man - half horse indeed... but you gave me an idea regarding the engine.

Interesting. Is the engine block identical to the V11? Different bore, but else? Sorry for my laziness. I can search for it:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is a 1999?

I've finally got the Lucky Phil/Chuck shift extender bracket bolted on.

Cool😄 Mikko Scarface

Don’t complain. The last four weeks have been really cold up here. The temperature has been constant between -14 and -25 Celsius. The floor heating in the Guzzi temple is switched off. Spinning vinyl and wait for warmer days.

Happy new year, guys!

Wow! Nice tank.

And here we are. Phew! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
