Big Mack

Hello Guzzi 1947 I'm selling a bike that may be of interest. Look at the Classifieds Sept 7 "Selling my beloved Greenie" Great condition. Price negotiable. Thanks Big Mack

Thanks p6x 2nd Owner. Stock except tail rack, mufflers & 4" risers (I have the stock clip-ons). The odometer shows 13,200 miles but I'm listing it at 25,000 because it's on its 3rd speedometer (I have documentation for the previous 2). All new fluids late spring, new battery & Bridgestone Battleaxes less than 2 years old. Runs like a watch. Includes original tool kit and Owners Manual. 312.485.3233

Second owner in the NW suburbs of Chicago. 25,000 miles. Excellent condition and runs beautifully. Lots of photos and a detailed description on Craigslist: 2000 Moto Guzzi V11 Sport - motorcycles/scooters - by owner - vehicle automotive bike sale - craigslist

Update: Finally found a decent mechanic near Chicago. He noticed the when the previous owner installed an all new exhaust 15 years ago he also added a Power Commander III. Turns out PC III's don't last forever. He unplugged it and - whammo - problem solved. I assume ECU defaulted to it's original fuel map. The mechanic pointed out that the 2000 model was pre-emission so while it may run a bit lean ride it for a while before doing additional work. Also turns out my tach is shot. So when the bike sounded like it was idling fine and reading high I should have trusted my ears. I will fix/replace the tach over the winter. My scoot has been running fine except a slight hiccup when cruising (no load) in a specific 100 rpm (3,000?). Thanks again for everybody's help.

Gentlemen: Thank you for the tips. I'll go through the boots and gaskets looking for an air leak. Hopefully I'll have some news in a few days.

Plugged tight and "look" to be in very good condition. Thanks

Out of the blue my beloved 2000 V11 Sport with 20k started idling at 3,000 - 4,000. Above that sputtering and stalling out. Throttle linkage closes completely. Cleaned the throttle bodies and injectors. Replaced the boots. Even though the TPS spec'd out I replaced and calibrated it. Valves are to spec. Still no love. The manual and various forums talk about software I do not posess. Does anyone know a good mechanic near Chicago? I'm shocked not be able to find one. The only dealership is new and not up to speed, Former dealerships no longer service Guzzis. Joe at The Guzzi Doctor no longer works on bikes newer than 1986. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
