Unlikely, as the R/R requires a voltage reference to function and that is switched through Relay #2.

The charging wire to the battery positive from the regulator, through our nefarious 30 amp Fuse #3, is continuous and not switched. Neither is the grounding side switched, not the weedy factory ground through the harness nor any (recommended) additional ground from the regulator case to the timing chest/engine.

Some excellent commentary from @MartyNZ in this thread, along with emphasis on using the correct charger . . .

There has been some extensive discussion of this matter here. At one time, there was an opinion from one of the regulator/rectifier suppliers to disconnect the battery when charging from an external source. Subsequent discussion from some knowledgeable members refuted this based upon the presence of diodes in the regulator/rectifier stating that it is fine to charge the battery without disconnecting. Since I have a "service switch" as part of the 30 amp circuit breaker set-up, I always disconnect when charging because 1) it's easy for me, and 2) isn't it the diodes that are at risk of damage in the R/R to begin with?

There is brief discussion of the oil pressure switch in the Encyclopedia of Compatible Parts (pinned topic in "How To . . ."), but no alternative was posted. The OEM part number is 17768750 (or GU17768750) in some search systems. Otherwise, it may come up as a Fiat or Lancia part . . .

Yes. The V11 Sport, in black, was shown at EICMA November 1997 with first production late 1999 while Moto Guzzi was still under ownership of the Trident Rowan Group (reportedly 1996-1999, yet some sources say Finprogetti took over ownership from DeTomaso as early as 1994). Very interesting to note the original V11 Sport was "drawn in one night" by one designer, Luciano Marabese, who had a close relationship with Ivano Beggio. It is conjecture, only, that Beggio may have influenced the adoption of the V11 Sport original design (1999-2001) before taking ownership in ~2000. EICMA 1997

"There is no greater satisfaction than to desire that which you already possess."

Yet, with all of those great Guzzis, why the V11 SpineFrame? Red-headed stepchild? Underdog? Secret succulent? Snakebite?

Just think. If it not for this moment, and this fine fellow, we would not be here together. I am SO thankful!!

Haha! Love is like that, isn't it? The experience of being part of the community that has grown out of these loves reminds of this quote by John Ruskin: "The highest reward for a man's toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it. "

Day one with mySport, August 2000 . . . Top 5 Moto Guzzi picks since 1965? V11 Sport/silver, V11 LeMans Tenni, V11 Sport "carryover"/burgundy, V11 LeMans/black, V11 Coppa Italia I mean, hey @4corsa, you're asking the other inmates on the ward!

Close as I could get . . .

If you really want something Augusta with nice lines . . .

Maybe this technology is, at best, "Artificial Decision" (AD) with "intelligence" being a long way off, and likely a perpetual misnomer.

Pretty sure I'm not Geek Qualified, but agreed. The distinction I would make between AI (artificial intelligence) and CG (computer generated) is decision making. Trusting a vehicle's sensors and interpretive systems to operate the vehicle is "AI", IMO. Generating an image, video, or voice narration digitally remains CG/computer generated as the software behind the generation is still built by human software engineers and is not making any decisions for us. To anchor this back to this music thread, it reminds me of my drummer friend's opinion about drum machines. He said something like, "Yeah, they keep perfect time, but they've got no soul." Real drummers make decisions. The hallmark of "intelligence." "The [drummers] here can set me straight."

@Weegie to the rescue with links to both @Kiwi_Roy's diagrams and @callison's content (hosted on Gregory Bender's thisoldtractor ), as well as linking to @stewgnu's diagrams for the later V11:

Here is a dedicated topic pinned in "How To . . ." with links to wiring diagrams contributed by, or hosted by, various members including @Kiwi_Roy, @callison (Carl Allison), @stewgnu, and thanks to @Weegie for hosting the Kiwi_Roy content!

Just your consent to move these wiring diagram posts/links to their own thread.

I know this is just "splitting hairs", but wouldn't the more accurate term be "CG" (computer generated) for these images and voice overs we are seeing, and hearing, more and more of?

Wow, @Weegie, what a great resource putting that all together! I suggest we put that post in "How To" as a reference, if you are up for that? edit: There are also @stewgnu's wiring diagrams for the 2002 and later V11 wiring including one showing the additional to address "Startus Interuptus" . . .

Tchaikovsky it is, then. At about 3:17, when the trippy Fantasia thistles go all Cossack, I feel mySport ripping off into the hillsides and along the creeks. All the melody up until then is just adjusting valves, seeing to tire pressures, and charging the battery . . .

Disney's Fantasia is an amazing compilation of music with animated video. And, hey: 1940!! Tchaikovsky ?

All those phasers set for stun!
