Is the motor TDC on the right cylinder, or just stopped randomly?

From the Fileshare subforum:

Right!?! Mil-spec packing job!

I have a riding buddy that swears by Diamond Gusset® riding jeans. Made in Tennessee, IIRC! https://www.gusset.com/defender/

FWIW, "properly" set valves, CO Fuel Trim at zero or +, meticulously base-lined TPS, and carefully balanced throttle bodies seriously sweeten a V11. Sure, securing even minuscule intake and exhaust leaks are significant, as is seeing to our rather fragile charging systems.

Select "LeMans." Find the CO Fuel Trim value. Report its preset and set it to zero (once the engine is at operating temperature). When @andy york did this for my Sport, it transformed years of fussing with running issues. My CO Fuel Trim was factory set at minus/ negative/ - 27.

I'm always fighting it out with The Waddington Effect to make the South'n SpineRaid. Planning a "Decent Tune-up" at 125,000 miles (valve lash, spark plugs, TPS, throttle body balance). Maybe a tank-off (air and fuel filters) and tires before the South'n SpineRaid. But, nothing "major!"

I just moved @Lucky Phil's installation thread to "How to . . ."

Moved to "How to . . ." for better archiving.

Correct. Or if not necessarily an "enhancer", then at least a "modifier." The consensus has long been that this is obsolete technology now that we can read and write "maps" to our own ECU.

My Joe Caruso timing gears and relieved cam bushing came today, one week shipped from the heart of England. I have never received anything packed this well, or dealt with anyone finer than Joe. The pieces look awesome!

Very svelte. But no armor?

I hope the V11 does not succumb to "skin suffocation" . . .

Can we get a do-over on the link, @stewgnu? (“Video Unavailable “)

Officer, in a traffic stop: "The reason I have stopped you is that you were traveling in excess of the posted speed limit." Driver, in the traffic stop, "Officer, I was going the same speed as the rest of the traffic." Officer (preparing the signature form), "Have you ever gone fishing? You can't catch them all . . . "

I got to thinking that once the prototype comes out of the mold, there will be room for others to sign up for the production run. I had also lost track of the current pledges. A scroll back through the thread shows: @FreyZI, @docc, @Lucky Phil, @Joe, @GuzziMoto, @deadpen69, @Tom in Virginia, @Scud = 8 black, and @p6x and @leroysch for 2 in red = 10 in all. (I'm not sure the shipping to the UK for @stewgnu, but my Joe Caruso timing gears are arriving in the US from the heart of England tomorrow and the shipping was painless, taking only a week.)

Yes! That is lovely! Thank you!

“If the owner has granted you access, please sign in.” Can you make that video public, @Luke?

Yep, that link goes to a login window and a dead end for most of us.

Sometimes, a link directly to the WG classified will display here. Otherwise, it can just go to their login and be inaccessible. Try to post a link?

A cold chisel is nothing without The Hammer . . .

Nice! An '04 red LeMans! Could you, kindly, show it to us, here? Many of us cannot see listings on WG.

"Decent Tune-up" to the rescue, once again! And there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a spare fuel pump.

Thanks for the laughs, guys! All-y'all that know my antics saw this thread for what it was. I did apologize to one of our newer members who contacted me to buy the exhaust. He was cool about it, but reminded me I was a day early on the spoof. I explained it had to be in order to try and get ahead of our clever members (didn't happen). My wife didn't fall for it, either, when I told her I put the Guzzi up for sale last night. She did think the posting was funny, especially the Ben Dover® branded clip-ons.
