p6x ; this is my official advice . You need that 6cylinder bike "like you need a possum w/a red asshole".* with that being said, you are going to live once and one time only . I am the King of Wrong Decisions but eventually I made a few good ones. Are you going to regret purchasing it or regret not purchasing it ? Go get it. * Wanda Lee Stallons .

Uhhhhh , can you explain that a little better ?

That boat's moving a pretty good lick !

My struggles with the black frame continues . the gasoline in this bike was worse than anything I've seen in 55 yrs. I am gonna remove the throttle bodies , send the fuel injectors to have them inspected . Remove the pressure regulator and test it.. Whew. The moral of the story . Watch where you buy gasoline . You know what I mean !

I looked it up . It looks like it is a neat toy ! I bought one a pretty long time ago and it was pretty expensive but it is neat to have to find poor connections or things "staying on" for battery drain.

You want brakes not 99.9999% of the time , you want brakes 100% of the time . Use DOT 4 fluid straight from a new bottle . How many pumps did it take to get a good pedal ? I know counting is the last thing on your mind . Just wondering. Have you ever flushed / bled the rear brake system ?

Somebody is hi-tech ! What do you get after start-up and the alternator is recharging the battery . I've got a Flir , just never thought of looking at this .

I installed some TPS sensors on two Dodge vehicles in the last two weeks and my scanner had a "relearn" on the TPS after I installed them . Bolt it up and relearn and it was finished . You didn't have to adjust anything .

The information I have I had from talking to old mechanics . The stud pulls straight up on the threads whereas the screw twists on the threads .

Hmmm . They use the lowest # as zero or base throttle angle ?

Thanx for the clarification . I couldn't see that it would matter , but....

You did read the last line (in red) that stated Note Not for other Moto Guzzi models

That is a hard a$$ job and I don't envy those people . You don't have time to sneeze , it requires professional workmanship and communication to make it through the day .

No hardhats : obvious. Less clothing : it is daylight and probably 30 degrees warmer ! The chain : you work with what you're given . These two methods are completely different . Also , you get good or get hurt .

About the only thing they have in common is drill pipe . I've seen it done and these boys stay hooked up ! What am I supposed to see ?

Peter , take the bike to Roper . He can dial it in . Case Closed

Yeaahhh , take this thing out of circuit . Then start over. #1 throttle body balance #2 TPS adjustment #3 contact anyone "down there" who can help you set this bike up . You really need to be good electrically , mechanically and have pretty tough skin . When you get this bike set-up properly , you will love it .

It should be no more than 14v . I will have to go and start mine up ...at rest battery v was 12.4v , after start-up it was like 12.8v. Blip your throttle a few times like 3k or above , At 3k I got 14.5v . AGM batteries are different. Keep this in mind! You always want to blip your throttle or hold it steady above 2500 for a few seconds for the regulator to start working . TRUST ME . I worked on a BMW car for 3 days after I replaced the alternator and it still would NOT charge . For some stupid reason I blipped the throttle and it started charging.

Have fun , the nicest people have Tn license plates

Well , you tested a diode . There is more than that taking place in that little box . Get a new one just to test with . If it turns out good , I would buy the best (not most expensive) one available .

Are you saying the switch is on the suction or pressure side of the oil circuit ?

One of my best friends had a 320i that set a couple of years . he went to start it and the oil light would NOT go out . He would let it start/run a minute at a time and the light would never go out. I went to his house , removed the oil press. switch , had him start the car . In a few seconds , oil was going everywhere . Reinstalled the switch and closed the hood. These oil pressure switches are not hard to remove on these bikes . It is easier to remove than the engine. If your light will not go out in about 3 seconds , stop the bike and start troubleshooting.

AFA the specific amount of oil in a system , I knew a buddy that refilled his rear end in an Ambassador . His bike had a deep pan instead of a shallow pan . He headed to Carbondale on the bike , then trailered it back after it came to a squeaky halt . ALWAYS be sure you fill things up to a proper level . It will save you money in the long run. Also , the vent tube instead of a vent is superior !

Please explain the "slipping out of gear" part . As in , does it go into N from 4 to 3 ? AFA the foamy oil . just inspect it after it has been at rest for a couple of hours . Some lubricants have an anti-foaming agent to stop this . A hydraulic system can not tolerate air in the fluid. A gearbox doesn't like it but it can live w/it. IDK what you are seeing but water in oil will really affect the "color" of oil .

Are these the guys that sell the hopped up voltage regulator ?
