Series of voltage readings under various "states" . . . KOEO = Key On/ Engine Off KOER = Key On/ Engine Running (at idle, at 1500 rpm, at 2500 rpm. I would also take one more voltage reading before turning the key on, after the battery has sat quiet for some hours (perhaps six hours or more). . . .

Lulu looks suitably pissed off about the whole thing . . .

Not all costumes are about "Halloween", although there might still be Trick or Treat !

Pretty sure I have never seen a Marzocchi steering damper. Forks, yes. Seems that all V11 SpineFrames were delivered with bitubo steering dampers except those sold with Öhlins forks/shock got the Öhlins steering damper (Scura ans Scura R, Café Sport, Coppa Italia [edit: but NOT Rosso/Nero Corsa]). [edit /August 21, 2024, having learned the Rosso/Nero Corsa have bitubo steering dampers.]

This ^^^ (Well said.)

Sorry, my man. I forgot you never sleep . . . I am just now reading through your excellent post. Thank you for the images and excellent feedback! [edit: Took my premature post down.]

Same source (Austin Colle):

Here is the link that I saw that image collage where it is attributed to Austion Colle: https://www.thisoldtractor.com/guzzi007/sportissimo.html And the Austin Colle "Historic Motorcyc;e ads" link: https://www.austincolle.co.uk/historic-motorcycle-ads-80-s-90-s-0

What is the AC voltage being output by the two yellow wires from the stator?

Ah! The title page to @callison/ Carl Allison's valuable content on thisoldtractor.

Unless it is just for the photo shoot, in which case there is already too much wardrobe involved...

Closing in on two weeks out and I stopped wiping mySport down. I figure if Randy is bringing his "friends", the innkeeper, Ken, will likely lend us a hose and bucket . . . Looks like a spectator sport!

Having discovered the slider missing would motivate me to inspect, carefully, the mating channel in the caliper carrier and, more especially, the shaft extension of the locator bolt. When that fastener fails/falls out, the caliper/carrier becomes a liability as it circles the wheel on the rotor and tears the brake line loose. Halfway to bad day, that. Perhaps worth replacing that (special) fastener if it shows any signs of damage/fatigue/deformation.

Gorgeous view, @KernowNZ! Both the background and (especially) the foreground!

So, that's what they call a harmonica north of Tennessee? My pickin' buddy from south of Tennessee called his mouth harps "Mississippi Saxophone" . . .

This is the best I can approach understanding this: The secondary bearing in question is not the one at the shaft attachment to the frame (that one is tertiary). The primary bearing is in the Heim/Rose joint off the triple tree. The additional bearing in question is apparently attached to/ built into the damper body, whereas the Shindy mount has a solid clamp to the body. (I am prepared to stand corrected on this business . . .)

It's easy. It's like any other day stuck in draggy traffic on your motorcycle except that all the other traffic are also motorcycles.

Johnny Gotta-Gotta Boom-Boom could get me a ticket-ticket riding with this in my head . . .

This is such good procedure! I am happy to report mySport's Japanese Shindy passed the tests after ~68,000 miles/ fifteen years . . .

I might-should have posted that in our dedicated Hammers thread . . .

I am thinking they did not mean Birmingham, Alabama, USA . . .

I am really trying to get my head around this. Here are three damper set-ups. What are we looking for here? And how to spot the fault? My Shindy with basic Heim/Rose joints (like the factory set-up?): @ChrisPDX's HyperPro: @Lucky Phil's Öhlins with "solid fitting": I am not understanding where the "spherical bearing" is or if my set-up might have this issue. Thanks for the scrutineering.

That seems an odd fuse to fault from that bare insulation. Best keep looking..... [edit: I think Bubbles deserves her own thread....] [2nd edit: I did find this interesting, dedicated Bubbles thread:

Which fuse is it (counting from the front)?
