  1. I wonder if Rolf Halvorsen, in Norway, has any of this? You might PM him and ask . . .
  2. There are a couple pages of discussion on this, with images as I recall, in my Sticking Clutch thread. I’ll try and track it down this evening.
  3. All good, Pete! II though the shipping time acceptable and no worries. My office staff thought me a little off when it came and me hopping about, waving the package around all giddy . . . Best shipping and tracking I ever had was from Russia, of all places.
  4. Curtis Harper, Harper's Moto Guzzi, Missourri, USA , sourced a pair of Koyo for me. Brembo pads coming from MGCycle in Wisconsin. Might skip the leaky clutch slave for now, but my rear brake rotor is a millimeter under the wear spec. I have all the parts to replace that, so "should" . . . Just "maintenance" . . .
  5. In "How to . . ." Encyclopedia of Compatible Parts
  6. Two weeks to the mid-south States from "The Arse End of Nowhere." Pretty darn good! Really jazzed about having this in my greasy little ham-fisted, knuckle-draggin' hands. For now, it is safe and a delightful addition to my cocktail table. Thanks, again, Pete!!
  7. Just got my Genuine MotoModa P.Roper Plate today! At 110,590 miles, I figure I better get it installed before I sleep or eat again.
  8. Yeah, that's how I ended up with these "Federal Mogul" branded "National" and made in China. Maybe 20,000 miles is "not too bad" (bad, but not too bad) for the brake side rear bearing, but 40k would be better!
  9. Trying to get a couple of the Guzzi dealers to tell me who makes their available bearings and where they are from. Last Timken we saw were Chinese. Same with the Federal Mogul that just played up.
  10. Ah, okay. I thought my initial post was kinda busy and went some different directions. But that's what inspection during maintenance can do . . . Clutch reservoir looks low. Closer inspection reveals the replacement slave cylinder is weeping. Now, I am too. I suppose I can install my original while waiting for bearings and brake pads . . .
  11. Condition those "new" Odyssey, y'all!
  12. Getting ready for a ride to the Appalachians in a month and found a weak rear Pirelli GT. They are lasting about 3500 miles for me; right at average for my 30 rear tires. (I get 3 rear : 4 front). Trying to follow my own advice (Wheels Off Maintenance Checklist in FAQ) , I found my Brembo rear pads ready for a change (10,111 miles/ 16.300 km). Inboard more than outboard, which tells me the pistons need cleaned, equalized, pin polished and lubed, and fluid bled. The brake side rear wheel bearing was also played up. Fourth one on that side. Only the third on the drive side, which felt okay, but my trusted friend, Josh, who found the bad bearing says, "Change them both." I believe in this guy! The last bearings were made in China and lasted 1/2 as long as the OEM, Euro-made stuff. I'm trying to source better made bearings. So . . . when that tire needs changed, folks: Wheels Off Maintenance Checklist!
  13. And you are confident Relay#2 is the best it can be?
  14. The "one turn out" (+/-) is in the "Decent Tune-up" apparently to compensate for vagueries in the stock map (and maybe clapped-out throttle bodies like mine), while Meinolf's Map & Method is evidently a much more accurate and well designed way to to tune that does not need the air bleeds. I'll have to try it that way someday.
  15. All 1999-2001 Sport and Rosso Mandello maps should be identical. The map ID number is visible on guzzidiag, but will not reflect if the map has been altered. Meinolf has done the finest job of creating the cleanest V11 map ever.
  16. How about this one in Fileshare, posted by MartyNZ: https://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?/topic/19609-ecu-bin-maps/&do=findComment&comment=233775
  17. So, would your gizmo display selected guzzidiag parameters (like voltage, engine temperature)?
  18. (Regardless of how you change the damping, take the trouble to have the springs spec'd to your weight in gear and sag selection. Springs are typically under $100US. )
  19. The V11 ECU is not actually OBD II, is it?
  20. But it rhymes with "Bungendore" . . .
  21. Now we need to know what "bugger all" is. On second thought, I may not want to know . . .
  22. It is common that the Veglia is not accurate (Vague-liar! ). If it is a sudden change, upgrade Relay #2 (and the rest!) to the "Best Relay." Condezeca, what did you use to compare to the Veglia?
  23. Thanks, man! As great as the bike has been, it is the community that amazes me most. Sometimes I think I should get a parts bike, then realize that may be what I already have!
  24. Hard to tell with all the high beams pointing up like that . . .
  25. Thanks, Meinolf! The links all seem to be working again today. Folks, let me know if you find broken links and I'll try to restore them. Seems that sometimes they fix themselves . . .
