did you sync at 3k rpm or just at idle? I balance the TB's above idle then bring idle into sync with the air bleed screws.

you could look at the swing arm pivot pins and be sure they have the SA centered.. could your rear tire need balancing? I've had floor boards and if anything they have less vibration that my peg model Bassa.

push start is when your wife is along and she pushes, Jump start is when you have to run along side to get up enough speed then you jump on the bike and pop the clutch..? ps, the Convert has to get up to 34mph to bump start so she better be able to really push it!

about 9 degrees F, 13 riders showed up yesterday in Minneapolis.

Oh Yea, welcome to the forum.

don't these guys do outstanding Moto Guzzi service? http://www.motorcycl...mance-2072.html take it there first. http://www.epfguzzi.com/forsale/street.html#moto_guzzi

#1 You need to set the valves, throttle bodies,TPS, etc. #2 Purchase a PowerCommander from a dealer/installer & have it mapped for your altitude & humidity. #3 You will go back in time 100 yrs. to go to carbs. if you went to carbs how would you send a TPS signal to the CPU?

you could get a bicycle speedo like a Sigma and solve both the odometer and speedo problem for about 30 bucks.. It will likely be MORE accurate than the stock unit too.

We are hibernating in Minnesota now...

cheap steel rims w/tubes... fuel pump hose comes off inside tank... needs after market shocks... My friend Ryan had one w/a bad ECU, he had to take back to dealer about 6 times (dealer was a jerk,, said they all run like that) Finally Piagio stepped up and completely replaced it w/a new Vintage, here he is..

here are the winning videos from the Aerostich contest, http://www.aerostich.com/2010-contest-winners?utm_source=Aerostich+Email+List&utm_campaign=76fc3fab1c-sl20101210&utm_medium=email

nice, love the pipes/ what are they?

I agree, guzzis dont like low revs so treat it like a 2 stroke I cured similar symptoms with a Mistral cross over, made all the difference. I can cruise thru town at 3k no problem but she sings a whole new aria above 5k rpm.

I won one category of the Aerostich Video Contest with that. this won the sundry category, and I got Grand Prize Honorable Mention for my epic vacation vid, Just braggin..

Does your regulator get ground thru the mount to frame? might not be the problem but I run a wire from the reg body straight to the neg battery post. that way your not relying on a possibly dodgy ground connection.

that about seals it for me as to which ducati I should own if ever, I'm going to try for it. Sorry i lighted that fire Ben:grin: I have done the salvage title and it's simple, make appointment ride it over to inspection.. If it has brakes and blinkers you'll pass and they give you a clean title. I'm jealous but I have this, clicked over to 19,000 miles pulling in the garage last night.

Great story! BMW's break down too... you had the best looking bike at the ferry for sure.

It is a wonderful place to live! call me next time you come over!

near Danbury wi. I know Andy a little, have sent my vacation video to the vid contest they are having. Guess I could enter this one too. thanks!

Looks like a cross between a Ecosse and a Hyabusa. more ugly than a BMW!

gonna have to quit soon tho,

you will be sorely disappointed in the KLR's power or lack of it. I've owned a couple, love the long suspension but that was it.

strange.. Only thought I have is disconnecting the battery for awhile and hope the CPU does a re-set?

no, not my Lemans which now has almost 19,000 miles... the pic was from an old G5 that I parted out.

I had lust and filled it w/a 2002 as well. mine needs a quick hit of the starter, pause then 1/4 turn throttle and push start again.. then I go! knock on wood I have never had a problem and I ride everyday to work and home since may 1 this summer.. ME in LOVE! from two weeks ago, sorry for your problems and I can sympathize, I've had other Guzzi dilemas.
