could the solder be failing at the alternator wires? Happened to me recently and left me stranded.
Then one of the little tab/posts snapped off of course when i looked at it. Always get more jobs than expected when i fix my guzzi- it’s great value
i strapped one half to the wall and the other to my van tow hitch and rolled the van backwards… that worked.
Although mine was already bent due to a rod end snapping on the torque arm and jacking the whole shebang, so it was a last ditch effort haha
well it may or may not be pertinent to your troubles, but i had dreadful fuel consumption once that i eventually realised was due to a nasty crack in the exhaust near the lambda sensor (crossover area). So maybe check that whilst you’re scanning about?
cheers for your write-up on the gearbox phil- got me thru it.
It was only after i re-re-read it that i realised i should’ve draw-filed the bearing surfaces- i polished them but probably put a slight radius on them.
Working bloody lovely though now 🙂. Makes me appreciate the v11 setup as when it’s good it’s very good. I got a vfr400 this year and the action thru the box is no comparison. Which i wouldn’t have expected as when i saw inside the v11 guts it looked so… agricultural?
had a blast on a pals uly once, i kept hitting the end of the revs cos i was used to the v11. I love that the guzzis have that extra 2 thousand revs- really feel good in comparison
the po had cut 99.99 of the old lid away, leaving a sliver of plasique, which lost the strength to bolt down firmly. It has a jury-rigged ally frame i made atm- which is crap
my v11 is missing it’s airbox lid- i had to cobble a frame together to hold the filter down but would prefer to get hold of a lid really. She does roar on open throttle tho
