I ask about the part number on the triple tree because there was , reportedly, a change from the very earliest RedFrame Sports that softened the rake 0.5˚. If yours is "pre-softened", it may be a little harder to set up just right.

There was also some great data on expanding the mouths of the stock airbox intakes with some excellent results. I can't find it now . . . anyone have that link?

I've heard of a "three dog night" (they don't have those in So.Cal. ), but a Three Pie Ride? That ought to worth some motor-minutes! ​What does guzzidiag say the ECU is seeing from the Engine Temperature Sensor?

Yeah, these guys seem to know one another!

Make it up to her. Give her a "Pearl Necklace" . . .

It's a Honda . . . may be no tools required! Well, enough to change the battery. Drain the fuel? (On board Honda tool kit?) Service the tire pressures and chain . . . What else?

The K&N has been a worry at times, though I do clean and recondition it once yearly religiously. By "religiously" means I burn incense, use incantations (blues music), and drink good beer. It's worked so far, but I'm reluctant to leave out any of the steps . . .

Looks like a legitimate roadside repair photo - riding leathers and a V11 side stand sticking up at the prescribed angle!

You know you're in good company when a chap posts simultaneously about cheap tools and good Scotch . . .

So, the bottom line is: it doesn't make any difference as long it is a 15M ECU?

PS.On V11 the dipstick is turned fully in when checking the oil, for some reason on the last generation Cali 1100 from 2006 on not anymore. As the manual says, "Screw it up" which has a rather different meaning in American English!

+ 1 on getting the correct spring rates and setting an "appropriate" sag; raising the rear and weighting the front is good medicine! Just to throw in a little RedFrame voodoo, peer up under your lower triple clamp and find the part number . . . ?

What a cool plan! Good posts above on your questions (you may think of a few others between now and the 7th!) I suppose if I were to take an unknown-quantity V11 for a long ride, I'd tighten the battery terminals and press in a pocket full (5) of 5-pin OMRON relays before getting on . . .

Belgian gypsy music! (Who's that on the Guzzi blowing through at the end?) Vaya Con Dios: Neh Nah Nah Nah!

So, it looks like this is not a Titanium/Racing ECU. 3D02V59G is the original V11 map. What is "C7?"

It is member Belfastguzzi that detailed the best threads on this pawl spring business. Search his posts with the advanced searching . . . . the pictures in the thread have likely expired, but the content is superb. Here's BFG's thread in FAQ (not sure the status on the pictures).

That certainly confirms that the TPS cannot be set at baseline through the ECU, but requires voltage measurement at the TPS itself. Thanks, again, Camn! Camn's observation is confirmed. While the voltages at idle are very similar (+/- 0.001 mV), at the 150mV baseline at the TPS through the Casper breakout harness and a DVOM, guzzidiag reads the throttle voltage 0.000. I'm thinking a new "tune-up" thread is forthcoming based upon these new tools and developments.

Reading an ECU from a 2003 Rosso Corsa with guzzidiag populates the ECU information with: IAW 15M PF3C 61601.045.00 3D02V59G Yet, the ECU itself is labeled: IAW 15M. C7 61601.045.00 I don't see a selection in the drop down for the "titanium ECU." Is that what this "C7" represents?

My Brembo rebuild kit came from Moto International in Seattle, Washington, USA (Oct. 2008) for a 12 mm cylinder (at that time 32US$): "TA110436292 M/C kit, 12mm RECT/REMOTE " Hope that helps . . .

Agreed on this, no doubt. Very important that when the rear caliper is bled (regularly) that the caliper is removed and the bleeder rotated topside.

Brembo pads or others (more aggressive)?

+1 there, again! American Motorcyclist Association

Looks like something Carroll Shelby would have had the boys do on a Cobra at Sebring . . .

+1 on the AMA. Their Road Service is second to none. I've seen it in the field over the years helping friends out of tight spots. The clincher: for the cost of membership, the Road Service covers my bikes, my passenger cars, and my son's car while he's away at college. Last month's magazine had a delightful article about riding through New Zealand - made me think of dd ("dangerous") and long for a journey . . . On top of the political action: Awesome!
