Jaap's (used to be)bike is one of the most righteous personalized V11s I've seen .

@Guzzi-in-Vancouver, The original answer on this was never given. Was the poor running because the L/H throttle body had popped off? I know other things were done but what was the primary issue?

@Lucky Phil thank you for asking, I hadn't realized it had been left unsaid, and sorry for the late reply.

Yes, the left-hand side throttle body (or is it boot?) had come off, and that was the primary issue. In trying to re-seat it I ended up messing up the screws with the yellow paint, and then the throttle bodies also had to be re-synced. Then all sorts of other issues came to light.

For fun, I made a little collage if anyone wants to have a go at diagnosing what was discovered!

Hmm I added a jpeg2000 file and it's not showing in the preview, so here's a lower-quality version instead.

Looking like you need  to give her a good lookover and some maintenance.  20 year old bike...  But by the look of that air filter, she's had a neglected life.  I doubt it'll take much to get her up to snuff.

Ok thanks for letting us know. Looks like a few things to replace to bring it up to scratch. What part of the casing is cracked?

I believe the cracked piece is the stator ring.
