^^^^^Dawn. The Monkey's recommendation with Dawn. Of course, they'll *never* be the same. Call it patina, and wear it like a badge of honor. "Yep, dang things get looking like this after 100000 miles. Probably oughta be a warranted.."

Sounds kind of magical.. so I'd guess that removing and installing the tank is disturbing that mess of connectors up around the steering head. I think I'd do the De Oxit trick with all of them.

Lucked out. I had more damage when the Mighty Scura fell off the stand.

Naa, I'll get a NEP. Ugly, but effective. Been using them for years without issue on my touring bikes. Just thought I'd try one of these for the trip. Thanks for the warning.

Welcome, Jack. The low fuel light is triggered by a thermistor in the tank. It changes resistance as it gets warmer from being covered with less fuel, so the fuel light barely begins to glow until as the fuel gets lower it will be at full brightness. Sounds good, right? Unfortunately, the electric petcock has the same connector, and if they are hooked up backwards and the fuel is low, the thermistor burns up. Not good. There is a yellow stripe on the matching pair, but it many times goes unnoticed. To test the light, jumper the two pins with the ignition switch on. The light should work. To test the thermistor, check ohms between the two pins. I don't remember the value.. I'm old.. but if it's either shorted or open, it's toast. They're not cheap, but should be ok unless someone has reversed the leads.

I've never tried it, but I'll bet you could rig up some sort of hillbilly thing with air pressure and a gauge to see where it blows off? There's gotta be *some* reason for 2 pumps going tits up. I did this to set the pressure on the aero engine pressure relief valve..

Hey, Scud.. Dave at WG has a Centauro with a failed pump "and" pressure regulator. Maybe the regulator is your problem?

Always glad to see a happy customer..

Sounds like a clue, Dr. Watson..

Just plug it in and check.. the only time it has to be hot is when you look at CO.

It does on the Scura's 15M.. are they different?

You *are* running 10-60, right?

Tomek, have you checked the yellow wires coming out of the alternator? From memory, they should show around 45 volts AC at 4000 rpm or so.

Wat Docc sez. Until you get the sag *right* you are just pissin in the wind.

John sez I've had both, and prefer the fly screen. What you would have had was a lot of helmet wind noise and buffeting. The only place the LeMans fairing is better, IMHO, is in rain. Oh.. it looks kooler, too.. so that's 2 out of 3.

Thelonious (my old friend) is the man. Oh, sorry, Robert. No disrespect intended whatsoever. RIP.

Agreed. I stick a length of .020 safety wire in the female side of the two wires, push the connector together, attach a couple of alligator clips, and Robert's your Mother's brother. Saves 30 dollars. (Guzzi content) Now you tell me. Looks like I was a half hour too late. well, really.. the breakout harness is much more elegant. I wish I had one.. but 30 dollars? I could buy a used tire for that. (snapping suspenders)

I tole you Guzzis are "different." BMW.. Pffffft.

You can do it right there at the TPS or back at the ECU.

Docc replied as I was going to. Looks like he has it covered.

Oh, I was lookin at the wrong pticher. You're right..

Naa, it's just green gaskets.. you're not foolin me..

That is disgustingly nice looking..

Getting ready for the Carolina mini Spine Raid, I installed my favorite grips, some old Napoleon mirrors and a throttle lock that Fotoguzzi said he liked.. 2017-04-23_09-09-39 by Charles Stottlemyer, on Flickr I haven't gotten used to how it looks yet, but in the midwest it's more important to see what's behind you (Cop?) than to have the narrowness of lane splitters. 2017-04-23_09-08-46 by Charles Stottlemyer, on Flickr
