How many US gallons was the fill-up?

This makes me recall freeing up the rotor on the carrier by cleaning the buttons and bumping the rotor toward the center in a “star pattern”. Perhaps that is the freeplay @Flooky is concerned with? Otherwise , +1 with GuzziMoto on no rotational play.

I was pressed for time and on my mobile device earlier when I posted that reply, but wanted to give credit to @v11_meticcio for posting that link a couple days ago:

Thank you, as well, for your kind wishes! I spent most of this weekend finally getting my other bike back on the road after three months. A story like yours makes my effort seem rather trivial. Yet, isn't it absolutely fabulous to go riding on something we have been rather deeply into? You must have been just elated to be riding your Greeeeenie! After a delightful ride on my sweet little (rebuilt) Honda single this morning (running from the rain!), I did take mySport out for a decent romp through the countryside (88 miles/142 km). My, my but what a difference triple the horsepower and a properly set up suspension! I am so happy for you, now riding your lovely prize! This is a delight to see:

Cool thing is they will set up custom voltages for the color and flash changes. I made a table of what I would prefer for the Odyssey PC545 AGM, but never made the order from SparkBright. They're in the UK, yah?

Thanks, @jetboy ! That ebay image shows the correct G8HE from-C "made in USA." Of course ink is cheap, but I'm being cynical.

She looks great out on the road! Congratulations and well done! I share your confidence that a full tune will make a (fantastic) difference . . .

6.4kΩ will certainly keep the light out! The question is whether the resistance will drop enough to light the bulb when the sensor is uncovered by fuel and it warms up (?) I do see that Kiwi_Roy measured the cold resistance at around 1 kΩ :

Aw… I took it down when you didn’t comment. Didn’t want to offend. Pretty sure I can put it back.

Seems I tried to turn my GB into one of those . . . Just back from a Completion Ride after thirteen weeks and parts from three continents, several set-backs and learning experiences. Thank goodness for good friends and Polished Tools!

Right! '89-'90. The (US) TransAlp as well. I've thought that line up would make an interesting collection of itself . . .

Enough love that the hairy-knuckled Neanderthal creep that owns would check the oil and top it up. I had gotten where I only rode it two or three times a year (mostly out of guilt). Then I resolved to ride her once a month, but failed to consider thirty year old valve seals with 50,000 miles. What a disheartenment. So, fresh rockers, cam, rings, light valve lap and bore hone. And a frustrating education on how the automatic double compression release really works and why the motor won't start if one little, tiny part is left out . . .

One can hope. she has given me some challenges lately having been rather neglected in favor of riding (and fussing endlessly with) mySport. The GB is my first bike, bought new in '92. And one of my finest Polished Things . . .

I corrected the mileage on the rotor replacement (second speedometer), so 50,000 miles. I was suspicious of the EBC HH I had on there for a while. Also had used Galfer Green before returning to Brembo at the advice of a fellow Sport rider and trusted technician. "Made for each other" and all. I am also, admittedly, all jack-rabbit riding style. Probably more so in my first years riding the Sport.

My original rotors came off at about 50,000 miles/ 80.700 km sadly worn from using too aggressive pads (went back to Brembo exclusively). I can push one the the "buttons" just under 0.018" yet cannot feel any lateral play trying to shift the rotor laterally back and forth on the carrier. I find no specification or service limit for this value in the Workshop Manual. What are you seeing @Flooky?

Trying to put my "other bike" back in service reminds me how poignant : "Polished Wrenches for Polished Things" . . .

I dig! I dig!

The datasheet on this TE Connectivity 1-form-C HC (High Current) appears to check out. Not sure where they are made, or if we can even get them. Remember, there are high current loads on certain of our V11 relays that benefit from true high current relays with quality construction like silver contacts. https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/418/5/NG_DS_V23074-X0000-A001_0615-844367.pdf

Well, seems "somebody" must have bought the last 1200 or so OMRON G8HE High Current 5-pin micro-relays. Perhaps the source will present itself. Prolly ain't gwanna be five bucks anymore . . . "Pssst! Hey! Hey, buddy . . . gotch'yer C-form H-E ree-layz, here. Comes with a free horse."

Recent reports that Online Components no longer has the C-form (5-pin) G8HE. They apparently have the A-form (4-pin) which can be used in Positions 2-5 on our V11, but not Position #1/ Start Relay. That requires a Form C/ 5-pin. If anyone discovers a source for the discontinued OMRON G8HE-1C7T-R-DC12, please post!

Evidently, if one is going to X(pect a) goose, one must assume The Position.

I really thought I could come up with link to one of our threads to answer this: nope. Had to go to the web, but found this image of the Purple Gang's hot-rod Moto Guzzi at Phillip Island. Not sure what it is, though. These do look like V11 wheels. And: yep, they're heavy!!

I can see where that fairing would not be traffic friendly. Looks like it's reaching for 225 kph just sitting there!

@4corsa . . . . +1 on The Wanton Bishops!
