Corny might be a bit too hard. Musically, it is very well constructed to really get in your ear. I like it.

A new front tyre might not be a bad idea as well...

For posterity, this one, I reckon. https://hmb-moto.de/Brake-lever-foot-V11-CNC I'm always happy to do a bit of advertising for Mike at HMB. He is very dedicated, and does good work.

Did you mean "fuel economy" there, perhaps?

I haven't done it yet (no not that, playing with the map...) but I've read a lot about it, and spoken to Beard, author of Guzzidiag, about it. You need Tunerpro only if you want to alter your map. Reading it out is done with IAW reader, and flashing a new map is done with IAW writer. What you didn't mention: make really sure your battery is good, particularly when writing. Better still, connect a charger. Also make sure your laptop will last the distance. Better still, use the power supply. If something (bike or computer) runs out of power whilst writing, you risk turning your ECU into an attractive paper weight.

Failing that, here is a compilation workshop manual. There are circuit diagrammes on page 364, 459 and 590. The trick is to figure out which one applies to your bike. https://guzzitek.org/gb/ma_us_uk/1100/V11_1999-2003_Atelier(Compil-GB-D-NL).pdf One clue might be the 8th. fuse. The document indicates that this fuse was used on earlier models, but not on the later ones. My 2002 Le Mans didn't use it (a previous owner used the slot for a power outlet in the dash), but I have the fuel pump in the tank.

You did screw out all the screws and everything to make sure the butterfly was really completey closed? Just asking, because that sounds about like what I saw before someone reminded me to completely screw out the fiddly and hard to reach throttle stop screw.

They wont, as long as the company survives. They need it to support the "Guzzi tradition" that they are basing their marketing on .

Truly a brilliant drummer. Pity he died so young.

What about Cuno the killer carp? My girlfriend is convinced he is just waiting to nibble her toes off.

That would seem to be the circuit diagram for the models including and after 2003. Page 154 here: https://guzzitek.org/parts_list/gb/1100/V11LM_Nak_RC_Cat_2003_122002_PL.pdf The diagramme indicates a square blinker can. Mine is round, a "classic" blinker can, and seems to be more like the picture here on page 59 https://guzzitek.org/parts_list/gb/1100/V11LM_2002_062011_PL(GB).pdf or here on page 141 https://guzzitek.org/parts_list/gb/1100/V11LM_2002_072002_PL.pdf either way, as is indicated in both diagrammes, it must be somewhere near the relays. The cable harness doesn't allow it to be anywhere else, as far as I can tell.

Ok, these images will be appreciated. Down 5 flights of stairs, unpack the bike in the cold and drizzle, take the photos with the aid of a torch, back up the stairs. I'm expecting an elefant stamp here.... My 2002 V11 Le Mans. Here is a "close up". The blinker can is in the scruffy looking rubber boot behind the relays, tucked in under the bodywork. I don't know for sure that this is the original position, as it is just cable-tied onto the frame rail there. On the other hand, the cable harness would not allow it to have been very far from that position. It is just long enough to get there. And here is another picture from a bit further back to put it into perspective Hope that helps.

I think it might be tucked in under the bodywork next to the relays. Vague memories popping up...

Difficult in the sense of "measure" and "before I take it out"...

Or buy a decent tap and die set. Everyone should have one of those, I reckon, and there is generally a set of thread gauges included.

I reckon that is just because the photo was taken from above with a relatively wide-angle lens.

So would I. That's what they were made for.

Have fun, Phil. You lucky bastard....

Since this has taken on a life of its own, here are the routes we took on the ride on Saturday. The first part, before lunch: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1XokZWXVZ-_bhcrEPwsnhVWMQ89_Yzak&ll=50.636958661584266%2C11.189518000000014&z=11 the second part, after lunch on the way back to Rudolstadt https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1PP055kgrUa9ok1tO_la50o2tcmlCcOA&ll=50.623482905204824%2C11.130013999999973&z=11 A good mixture of more open roads and smaller, tighter roads. Steini (orgniser) always manages to get a good ride together. The ride is, after all, the (nominal*) point of the exercise. That is why the rally is called the "Thüringen Tour". I have no idea how long the links will work, but some say that nothing gets lost on the net. We'll see.... *drinking beer plays a minor part too....

Thanks, @docc. Love your work.

I'm annoyed.... I had a lengthy post almost finished about the rally, the location and what have you, and my laptop went off. Now it is gone... Never mind... The rally is called the Thüringen Tour. English would be "Thuringia Tour", but please copy and paste the German name, if that would work, and if you do create a seperate thread. I'm not sure if that is worth the trouble, though. I can't imagine that there will be all that much new traffic on the subject. Anyway, it takes place here https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/854709452 Here is a drone video (taken by the photographer who took that stunning portrait further up...) of the location. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DPn2TEDwLME As should be obvious from the video, space and facilities are very limited. Accomodation is tents or a (small) camper van. The rally is "invitation only" because of this. However, should an international visitor happen to be in the area on the first weekend of September, I could probably swing a deal. If this turns into a seperate thread, I could post the route from the ride on the Saturday, I think.

For anyone who might be interested in the bike: as far as the bad running goes, the first thing I would look at is if the valves are sealing properly. Seems like @Kuni0 has looked at all the "Decent Tune up" things, so that would be the next on my list.

Decent tune up.
