Ah, yeah, I remember now. Running (even a good quality) 20 amp relay in a circuit pulling 22.5 amps can become an issue. The G8HE OMRON is 35 amps NO, IIRC. I realize you're looking for something specific to the left cylinder, but a general problem with the Fuel Injection/Ignition system could be suspect as well. Perhaps just swapping Rely #5 for #4 (the ECU real is pretty understressed) is worth a try and easy. Also, there are some nefarious spade connectors beneath the fuse block that feed the FI/Ignition through fuses #1 and #2: (The fuse block will just pry up out of the rubber mounts without messing with the fasteners.)

Worth lifting those boots and seeing what is underneath. Mine was not only that corroded, but the metal connector had broken in two. Have I asked you, lately, what relay you're running in Position #5?

True, that. I recall reports that the injectors are extremely difficult to extract, even on the bench. @Grim, have you looked at the ignition wire under the boot where it leaves the coil?

This is my closing statement in Step 6) Idle Speed of the "Decent Tune-up" . . . "Don't worry over the *degrees of opening* or the TPS idle voltage; seriously, just put the idle where the motor idles nicely for your conditions and liking. Once Steps 1-5 are set, you can put the idle anywhere you want. But you cannot start here."

Here are a couple of Meinolf's posts where he confirms the "opening at idle is not critical" . . . "The opening at idle is not critical. It will be what results out of setting the required idle speed with both cylinders synchronized carefully." "The value after reconnecting the linkage doesn't have to be 525mV. It can be 500 or 400mV. The ECU will interpolate anyway (unless you follow below procedure, then your idle setting is exactly at a break point). Set it so the specific bike idles best." [docc added the emphasis.]

While not using this map, I recall agreeing with @Meinolf that, once all the other parameters are set (TPS at 157mv, CO fuel trim at zero, valves set, and throttle bodies balanced), you can put the idle wherever you (and the motor) are happiest. Personally, I prefer somewhere 1250-1350 which varies on its own under various conditions.

Kinda spooky stopping in at the Lodge at Tellico to the empty garage. Only The Ghost of SpineRaids Past . . .

Looks like a legit V11 Sport not far from me. Mostly original, even still has orange Veglia needles . . . https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/144187991135484/

Very nice installation right in the dash, @hammershaug! Welldone! I found the pre-set break points for the SparkBrite not ideal for the AGM, but they will customize the settings. I have a chart somewhere of the voltages more tailored to the PC545 AGM.

Perhaps more the additional 19mm (3/4") wheelbase? (Along with the lower bracing and additional front and rear subframe cross bracing.) What a fine stable, Guzzimax! Thanks for sharing them with us!

Glad to hear you are back up and running, Josh! Just to clarify "New Sensor" . . . cam/ phase/ timing sensor? Time to perform a "Decent Tune-up" before proceeding with throwing parts at it . . .

Hm, Maybe it's a Firefox thing (that's what I'm on). edit: Well, not visible on my iPhone using Safari, either.

A couple other aspects of the evolution of the South'n SpineRaid come to mind . . . This idea* started in 2004 when my warranty was up, my dealer was out, and I had only ever seen one other V11 Sport (and that dude had sold his). I figured it would be good to gather these up and compare notes. That has turned out to be an awesome benefit of the South'n Spine Raid! For a while, a "Tech(nical)Session" was pre-planned. We measured reardrive temperatures relative to gear lube selection, measured the offsets of swingarms, performed "Decent Tune-ups", and so on. After a time, it became apparent that someone's V11 already has a TechSession cooked up for us and will reveal itself. That's when the motto became "Get There. Bring Tools." Originally, I thought the location should be easily accessible from all directions. For a couple years, we met at a nice motel by the interstate with a restaurant across the parking lot. After that closed, we wandered around for a few years before settling on the cabins that are The Lodge at Tellico. The proximity to great riding, enclosed garage, and comfortable common area remain a good mix. "Dry" counties have been avoided as the post-ride gathering times are essential to the mission. Another feature that changed over time is the format for Saturday. After a series of incidents (nothing serious), I stopped planning and "leading" a group ride. Raiders are encouraged to study the area and gather in squad-size groups (from solo to four or five). This served to enhance safety, relax the atmosphere, and really charges the story telling under the pavilion on Saturday night since folks went off on so many different adventures and experiences. Win-win! It would be really great to see other Spine Raids. After all, it's just an idea, but without any intellectual property®©™ strings attached . . .

Yep, the big washer pops off, the inner sleeve slides out, and the caged needle rollers stay pressed in, but can be cleaned, rotated to a new position and liberally greased.

Pretty sure this ought to get pinned in "How to . . ." [There. Done. Thanks @pete roper for the thread and @80CX100 for the bump!]

"Copy Image Link" leaves the image hosted on the native site, rather then "Copy" or "Copy Image" which transfers the image, if I understand correctly.

Yep. If I open an individual image in the album and select "Copy Image Link", this is what pastes:

Wouldn't that be something? That this "South'n Spine Raid" is becoming its 17th might suggest that there actually might be a "recipe for a successful raid" does beg the question . . . There is this (but there is more) . . . This is not a rally, event, or function of V11LeMans.com. It is an idea about riding, or meeting interested people. It is an idea only. There is no plan, no registration, no stickers, T-shirts, merchandise, door prizes, meals, poker runs, routes, organization, or support. Just discussion and sharing. There is no affiliation or responsibility, expressed or implied, with or by V11Lemans.com, its owner(s), Administrators, moderators, members, pets, pocket mice, or any other entity. If being at The US Appalachian Divide in September feels like a good idea to you, look forward to sharing ideas. The idea of ideas has been around for a while. I do love George Bernard Shaw's take: "If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples, then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas."

I think I saw one. Once. The light was dim and the moment, fleeting . . . There could have been mushrooms involved . . .

This is the kind of image that makes me think, "It was no small thing getting to that overlook, in so many ways."

This is awesome, @Kuni0! Down to the small stuff, now . . . Welldone, Sir!

Totally what SpineRaids are for! No maximum upload size. Well, maybe . . .

I had forgotten about the black over silver V11 Sport "TT." Not sure the history of how that was produced. Even then, this one has quite a lot of thoughtful additions. Very nice. Remember, @Bob Maynard, we have a place to post your FJ exploits and stay in touch! Everything non-Guzzi and Redneck trashtalk
