All of those curves seem rather contiguous in a flowing, natural way . . .

Known issues on the later V11 with the "bent tube" speedo cables/ black face instruments (after the early, fussy "angle driven" cables to the white face Veglia) . . . Not only can the later "bent tube" cable housing foul the throttle rod, but are a common cause for a broken cable . . .

There is a certain fascination watching someone walk backward between parked motorcycles while speaking Dutch. . .

That is a beautiful statement, especially considering the source.

My CubCadet, swampee (or is that "swamp-pee? ) has mySport's third PC545 from 2010. It's been in the neglected garden tractor (a 750cc Kohler twin) since 2014. Without the grunt to turn the starter, I use this NOCO booster to fire it up and just carry on . . . https://www.amazon.com/NOCO-GB40-UltraSafe-Lithium-Starter/dp/B015TKUPIC/ref=asc_df_B015TKUPIC?tag=bngsmtphsnus-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80882941400106&hvnetw=s&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4584482468493509&psc=1

Hear-Hear!

Is there still any CARC Moto Guzzi being built? Any of the 1200 "BigBlock" except leftovers on showroom floors? Even the 1400: are any still being constructed?

Ah, true, that. That V11 was not running its fuel pump. It was the LeMans in gear that exhibited this "completely dead" behavior, with the sidestand down. No power to the Run switch.

Recently, we had the opportunity to troubleshoot two different V11 with this behavior. On one, the Run Switch had been toggled off, un-noticed. [edit: as @p6x points out, this condition allows the lights on, but not fuel/ignition.] The other was not in neutral and would not power on with the sidestand down. So, be certain the Run Switch is on and the bike is in neutral with the Neutral Light aglow. If is not, sit astride and attempt the start with the stand up and the clutch pulled in . . .

Yes, look deep into the well for a ring terminal that got left off from either the positive or negative terminal stacks. So very common.

Ah, yes, yes. Let's ask the other inmates on the ward if we are really and actually crazy...

There you have it. If your V11 has it . . .

Good points. Perhaps members with Lambda V11 can share. I have never seen the location of the O2 sensor on a V11 Sport/LeMans and cannot find it on my Parts Catalogs . . .

Is that where the V11 LeMans sensors are (on the crossover)? Or on the header pipes?

That is a high compliment among so many admirable Moto Guzzi. It occurred to me that this particular V11 Sport Has been present at all nineteen of the nineteen South'n SpineRaids. (Would not have been possible without this amazing community!)

Photo-crashing RedFrameTrash !

Once Bill Hagan shares his memoir, I try to always post a favorite from his admirable presentation . . .

A sad and recurring issue with web postings: a ten year old topic by a poster who has not visited in two years. The images become "de-hosted" and de-linked. Only the OP, @Bjorn, could restore these, AFAIK . . .

This is the front subframe we are talking about (#2, below)? The tank would have to be off for access to the upper fasteners and I would think the front of the spine frame would need to be suspended from above . . .

This! [Combined replies to one thread. Looking forward to the Tattly Rappit report, with "Pics from Down Under"" @cash1000!]

I did not intend to over-post this inquiry @fotoguzzi @activpop . . . .
