  1. Just something to put into your bag of possibilities. Looking back over this it seems that you get it going... and then it stops. I'm reminded of a very strange and - tough to find - problem I had a while back. Though my problem was blowing fuses, it was directly related to forward motion. Turned out the side stand safety switch wire blew up against the head pipe and melted, causing the fuse to blow. Then It dropped away and was good with a new fuse until I got up to speed and it shorted again. Took me a week to find it. Reading about your damaged sensor wires made me recall my problem and wonder. The same scenario may apply to a fueling problem if you have a filter that's coming apart and under increased flow is sending bits of crap down the line. On a side note if I may, you have a great attitude to this dilemma. It will serve you well getting to the bottom of the problem. I for one, likely wouldn't have reacted in quite the same positive way.
  2. there's a topic on this somewhere discussing alternative to oem sensors
  3. the phase sensor gap is quite sensitive. when you get it out and see the shim thickness (maybe more than one) you'll understand how important the correct gap is. There are 7 shim sizes available to use. I pulled mine to stop it leaking and replaced the O ring with a "similar" one and the bike wouldn't start. I then replaced it with the old one using a 'touch' of 1194 sealant. It worked fine and did not leak anymore. The base plate of the sensor is easily bent with too much tightening as I discovered. I don't know how to set the gap, I just got lucky and got it back to spec.
  4. sounding like fuel maybe. one of those disintegrating filters? water in the tank? can't remember is the bike new to you?
  5. I don't doubt the Chinese make a good product, mostly. I just want to send my dollars to support what remains of the western world. My last year purchase of Dunlop Roadsmart 3's were made in Japan. I think their racing tires are USA made.
  6. Great review here. https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/2020/02/29/metzeler-sportec-m9-rr-tire-review-crash-tested-at-ascari/ Looks like Pirelli owns them. I like knowing where they are made as well. You likely won't be sure till you read it on the side of the tire.
  7. A rear? they show no product found for GU30653001 rear caliper search. This pops up... Front brake caliper - AP8213196 for $115. and 6-8 weeks delivery. Superseded part maybe??
  8. https://www.ebay.com/itm/162694437725?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
  9. you can also bend the basket some for additional lowering
  10. off road Mivvs!
  11. perfect! thank you sir
  12. Great, glad it worked out. IMO it doesn't sound loud, also IMO you won't like the sound with db killers in.
  13. I "think" 14.2 at a slight blip is good. What do you get at 2500-3000?
  14. this supplier doesn't look too bad https://www.newark.com/omron-electronic-components/g8he-1c7t-r-dc12/mini-iso-auto-relay-omron-electronic/dp/39AJ9408?CMP=AFC-SF-FC
  15. yes, and I didn't order. They slipped in a 1 after the R, I just noticed
  16. agreed. Ali express has them on sale for $1.89, weird though, they look right - made in usa. I put 5 in my cart and showed 5.94 shipping and delivery on June 15. Probably China but who knows? I've got 10 backup so idk. Could be the last of them yeah? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001178097097.html?aff_platform=true&aff_short_key=UneMJZVf&isdl=y&src=bing&albch=shopping&acnt=42005546&isdl=y&aff_short_key=UneMJZVf&albcp=373871275&albag=1308419064071836&slnk=&trgt=pla-4585375808811125&plac=&crea=81776241344382&netw=s&device=c&mtctp=e&utm_source=Bing&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=PA_Bing_customlabel1_US_PC&utm_content=customlabel1%3D7&utm_term=g8he-1c7t-r1-dc12 relay&msclkid=9a9de3f7fb191aec0c38836cbe0b95ab
  17. seems they've about doubled in price
  18. Techron and an Italian tune-up!..... both on my near horizon
  19. this will help with install. the other 3 pieces should be clear.
  20. Represent! 1.2% of the population ownes a Guzzi! Heaven.
  21. Go for it. I want to see it. Some say why, some say why not. Just make the hack as elegant as the bike already is.
