Leaking seal could have prompted the clutch change. Mine was changed at about 4,000 miles under warranty. My tach and speedo needles have always looked different after two tachs and three speedos.

Tach also gets power through the first two relays. Are all other systems *go* (headlamps, brakelight, horn, warning lights)?

Meinolf, thanks for that! (I believe the factory CO Fuel Trim settings, often in the negative double digits, are one major source of poor running for the V11). Do you have a link for that tool?

Hopefully, Walterg is home now . . . On the South'n Spine Raid, the 1200 Sport start dripping from the left valve cover. In my (dubious) wisdom, I cinched it down but actually just pushed the gasket inside the valve cover. The only motor I've seen leak oil like that had a hole in the oil pan. We were really impressed just how much oil a big block Guzzi pumps up onto the rockers! Several of us ought to swing by Walterg's and give him a hand!

Those of you wishing to go further with reading and sharing maps (.bin files) and writing new "maps" (.bin files) to your ECU should stay in touch with this ECU BIN maps thread in Fileshare: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19609&p=213260 There are numerous useful links in MartyNZ's post there: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19609&p=213299

Then there is this: I have had my Sport on the Axone, VDSTS/pro and now guzzidiag. After these several years, I feel really confident contributing to Bernd Hauser for this excellent tool. Oct 27, 2019 edit:

Once connected, select from "View" : *measurements* and select the sensors you want to monitor. I am most concerned about CO Fuel Trim, RPM, Engine and Air Temperatures: If your CO Fuel Trim is in the negative double digits, your V11 will never run right. The engine will have to be to minimum operating temperature (60ºC) to set the CO Fuel Trim by clicking on "View" and selecting CO Fuel Trim (guzzidiag will prompt you while you monitor engine temperature (I like using a fan over the front): Use the RPM to set your final idle speed and compare to your tach reading. Make note if the tachometer is not accurate, especially when establishing your idle speed.

First, CONNECT: > Download GuzziDiag for the operating system of your computer: [edit/May 2023: current version is GuzziDiag V0.60] http://www.von-der-salierburg.de/download/GuzziDiag/ > Scroll down and download the correct FTDI Driver for a correct FTDI 232RL chipped OBDII>USB cable: > Connect the 3-pin Diagnostic connector and power the 3-pin > OBD II adaptor with 12 volts through the red (+) and black ( - ) clips. > Connect the OBD II > USB port in your computer. > Open the application "guzzidiag" on your computer and click on the upper left "GuzziDiag_VO.44" (or whatever version), select "preferences": > Select your motorcycle from the drop-down menu. > Important: select the COM port. As Beetle on Wildguzzi says, "it [the COM port] is usually the last one or highest number. if it doesn't connect at first, keep trying different ports. In my example, I only have one, COM4." >If the selection menu for COM port is blank, physically plug the USB connection into a different port on your computer. ( screen shot reference is Mac OS X/ GuzziDiag VO.44): > Click on "FILE" and select "CONNECT" You will be prompted to turn on the ignition. Make sure the "Run Switch" is on and you only use the Ignition Switch (key) to turn on and off during Guzzidiag. If it does not connect, try switching the ignition off and back on. The dialog box in Guzzidiag will read the ECU and its map version when connected:
