I would declare that TPS faulty, in that case (even if newly manufactured). Where did you source it?

All right, all right. You shamed into coming out of slacker mode:

I've been shamed into performing my proper moderator duties and move these (valuable) posts here instead of being a total slacker . . . Share your shop/garage A/C, heat, and dehumidifier insights here.

IPA time!

Check voltages, especially charging at some rpm, for excessive voltage suggesting a failed regulator.

I do not recall the TPS, wiring, orientation, or wire colors changing over the V11 range. Is that N/Vi (black/violet) positive and Vi (violet) negative valid for the later V11 (LongFrames) as well?

From the "Decent Tune-up" . . . Black/purple (N/Vi = nero/viola) is positive and purple/ violet (Vi = viola) is negative. (Caspers breakout harness pictured along with my former "back probing" pins):

Yes, the 2003-on Rosso Corsa are long frame V11 with the long tank (internal pump/filter) and the LeMans faring with the checkerboard graphics. And Ohlins!). @MojoFuzzi's Rosso Corsa The 2001 Rosso Mandello is a special edition first generation Sport with short (black) frame, short tank (chin pad with external pump/filter), and a carbon fiber "flyscreen" (fork mounted). @Guzzijens's Rosso Mandello If you leave a Rosso Corsa and a Rosso Mandello in the garage too long without adult supervision, a Ballabio could be the outcome . . . @Steve S's Ballabio

I just had an 18 SEER, 2 ton, SAMSUNG mini-split installed in an 850 square foot garage with a twelve foot ceiling. This has completely transformed the space into something that can be used to work in or play music, including keeping sensitive string instruments there.

Would love to see your V11, @MojoFuzzi! Take a few minutes and set up an Album in the forum's Gallery:

Looks like the "pressure bleeder" I see specified in the BMW ///M roadster manual. Need to get-me one o' them . . .

Testers are cheap and easy to use.

I just sourced Saint-Gobain Tygon tubing (F-4040-A) for a short length of reservoir hose. Looks like I should have gotten Tygon 2375 for this application . . .

I so appreciate all the replies! I knew I could count on you guys!

The vacuum speeds up the process? Or is most desirable, otherwise?

Thanks, gst! I have always done the press lever/pedal->open bleeder->close bleeder-> release lever/pedal->repeat/repeat/repeat. So, just open the bleeder and let the fluid drain into a catch can (or use the vacuum pump) while keeping fluid in the reservoir?

When gravity bleeding (flushing), or using a vacuum pump, is the master cylinder chocked open?

This is the method I expected Phil would use. It amazes me that threads can be cut on a lathe. Doubly more-so: internal threads . . .

Growing up with US "TV", I never knew what a musician and guitarist Glen Campbell was. Plus, I love this song . . .

Have you checked ebay for particular parts lately? I have also had good outcomes searching the actual Guzzi part number in a web search engine

There are well known ways to achieve this seemingly desirable racket . . .

What color starter cover, Dave? Last OEM turn signals I got from MGCycle (your Wisconsin neighbors!). Joe Kenny makes a brake pedal that won't snap off, but I like the one from HMB Moto (Germany) better . . . Yet, I cannot find anything from Joe Kenney online now.

I read that as "Fastena!" . . . And thought, "Damn, I remember Fast Tina, too!"

Yes, Piaggo made this (paraphrased) declaration early on : Aprilia = racing Moto Guzzi = travel Vespa = lifestyle Piaggio = urban/commute I, for one, was relieved, and am good with that. Hopefully, some sort of "Sport" / "LeMans" will still be in the offing. I mean, how could the marketing department resist?

"PSSST! Hey! Hey-ya, buddy . . . come let me whip a tune on that Goozzee of yours " . . .
