I know some have removed this fuse entirely. What does it actually "protect" if it can go this bad and not open the circuit? What is the downside of completely removing it? *conflagration*?

Now this is beginning to really piss me off. My Sport used to melt its 30 amp "regulator/ charging" ATC fuse in its fuse block without "blowing the fuse." So, I added an external holder and it did the same thing. So, I modified the holder, improved the connections and it burned off one of the blades. Still without "blowing" the fuse. So, I soldered in the MAXI fuse holder in 2008 and all has been well. Until today, looking into a failed turn signal flasher, I noticed the case of the 30 amp MAXI "Smart" fuse had opened up slightly. I couldn't pull it out by hand, so carried on with our ride until I got home. Took some electrical cleaner, electrician's pliers, and a good deal of force to extract the fuse. All melted and burned up. Still without "blowing" the fuse.

Sweet, man! The tank badge came out great. Gotta love the chorus to the video's theme song: "Pick up the pieces when I explode."

Some recurring themes cannot be escaped . . .

I'm not sure if the sign is an advertisement or a protest, but we rallied to it!

If just one more V11 would have showed up, this would have been the [second or third] biggest interdimensional cross-rip since the Tunguska Blast . . . https://www.getyarn.io/yarn-clip/d02d7bb8-ea42-456d-a367-15638c4efbe7 (I'm not naming any names, but his initials are JRD )

At least we know what's causing it . . . Some people are crazy and no one knows why . . .

As for voltages, charging voltage should be 14.2+. Static/ OCV ("open current voltage" measured after no inputs or discharge for 24 hours) should be 12.84 vDC. What's your key off battery voltage after 24 hours?

That could mean a lot of things. This is one the V11's Achilles' heels. Sure, GEI (and others) are probably *fine*, but the OMRON are seriously the best. Fresh 5-pin OMRON in all the slots would be solid, cheap method. Disconnecting, cleaning (with electronics cleaner) and reconnecting the various sensors (especially temperature sensors) would also be good method. When cold, guzzidiag should show that the Engine Temp and the Air Temp are the same (?)

These are more "Tenni" green. In fact, I wonder if the original green Moto Guzzi race paint was also simply zinc chromate (?)

Could be normal valve train noise. Have you adjusted the valves? Otherwise, run it in the dark and look for electrical arcing from the spark plug wires.

Not really a good idea.. + 1 ! Be patient and get it ready for that maiden voyage. It'll be worth it!

I saw, also, one of the Triumph Tigers in the photo gallery presented by one of the Italian "magazines." I see from Wiki.Italia: "Il design della Griso è opera di Rodolfo Frascoli, della Marabese Design." The relationship with the design of the Griso and the Centauro seems more apparent to me now. It would be interesting to see these two bikes parked together . . .

I thought all CARC bikes are discontinued? No idea. No more Stelvio, Norge, or Griso? (I've not been a CARC fan. Just the visual mass, I suppose.)

I think this must be it. I touched it with finger and it's not thick enough to be oil. It's also black and I just changed the oil so it can't be from the engine. Its about 50° here right now so it's definitely cold. Sounds like she would benefit from a good long run at operating temperature. When was the last time the bike covered some miles and stayed really warm?

You know your Scura is in the final stages of darkening when the mating surfaces of the cases are being subdued. This goes much further and it will form a spontaneous black hole and never be seen or heard from again . . .

It may be no coincidence, but my father-in-law used to swear, too . . . That said, no one swears like *dangerous* . . . he has taken it to an art form.

With EICMA coming up soon, and no way I can get there, I hope this thread will be a good place to post your experiences, and links, and photos/videos of the 2016 EICMA in Milan.

Looks like he was 68 years old (if my marginal Italian serves me well enough: "è morto a 68 anni." No wonder the twin-lamp Speed Triple has haunted me. When I rode one, it seemed so familiar and yet so wild. The experience brought me back to my V11 with renewed enthusiasm.

If the basic tune-up (fresh plugs, valve adjustment, CO, TPS, air bypass, throttle body balance) hasn't given good results, I would begin to look elsewhere. What are you using for relays? Have you serviced the ignition switch? Status of the battery/ charging system? (Melted 30 amp fuse? Full service of grounds including Gearbox ground, regulator ground? Status of battery voltages over the functional range?)
