GuzziMoto Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 If there are differences between the subframes they are minor. The basic layout of every V11 subframe I have seen has been the same. The one you have looks to have had parts of it removed (cut off) and then painted to look good. It looks like the parts that are still there match the other subframe, it is just that parts of it are not there. But again, that is based on looking at pictures. One esay test that my help nail this down is to put a magnet to the modified subframe. If it is non-magnetic then it is not stock. If it is then it is likely it is stock based. Who would go through the trouble of making a custom subframe and not make it out of a lighter material like aluminum? Not completely conclusive, but perhaps it will shed light on it.
dangerous Posted July 25, 2014 Author Posted July 25, 2014 GOTCHA ya bastard... exhaust valves burnt out big time, and the inlet aint to well either... how did this shit happen?
GuzziMoto Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 GOTCHA ya bastard... exhaust valves burnt out big time, and the inlet aint to well either... how did this shit happen? Uhhhhh.... Mis-treatment by the previous owner? As bastardized as that bike is I am not surprised by anything you find. Every time you find something that does NOT need fixing you should be surprised. Can't really blame Guzzi for much wrong with that bike. Two things come to mind for burnt valves, bad fueling and tight valve clearances. The fueling is likely not as stock since the intake system has been hacked. The tight valves, that is down to the owner/mechanic. The poor bike......
docc Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Another Guzzi saved from the heap. This time by the likes of dd and kiwijen!

The poor bike...... so how would we corectly tune the fueling with hacked up oxy censors and dodgy air flow censors etc give me carbs were I can fit a larger get and increase the fuel mix???
GuzziMoto Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Putting the air box back on would be a start, if you want to get it back to near stock. Other wise you can take it down one of at least three different roads that allow you to adjust the fueling. But to create a custom map can be more work, the stock baseline works pretty well and going back to that would be the easiest way. Other options are MyECU, PC3, and GuzziDiag. You have a bastardbike that someone has butchered. You can either undo the butchering or take the project the rest of the way down the road it is on. If you take the second option there is no guarantee that it will have a completely successful outcome but it should be doable to at least get it to a decent state.
