      @motojobobo What are your symptoms? Surging like the bike is running out of gas and then run normally again repeating for the duration of your ride. I think that would describe a pinched tank breather hose. If it is, you might be able to check by loosening off the gas cap slightly.

      Just a though and I may totally be off base.

        @motojobobo Something for you to read re: your vacuum sound https://wildguzzi.com/forum/index.php?topic=119476.0

        Might also be a programming/manifold issue: https://www.guzzitech.com/forums/threads/e5-v85tt-running-issues.22614/

              @jimcasey only 16 miles; I bought brand new. Shipping it to me took a long time. All of my doing and no fault of the dealer.

              I assume yours has perfect fuelling. I’m still in search of a solution.
              By the way, do you get a vacuum sound whenever you open your gas tank? Mine does that. Maybe a pinched tank breather hose ?

              Yep, on opening the tank there is a noticeable sound of air pressure equalizing. Nothing dramatic though, and I've not experienced any drama with fuel flow. Good luck with it mate - hopefully nothing serious.

              Mine going for the 10k service next week. Looking at a Mistral pipe and removal of the Cat, and some more aggressive tyres. Will let you know how it goes.

                  20 minute ride out of the city at a small town, Porongo. Still working at gradually ironing out kinks in the Guzzi.
                  Thru checks and trial/error over the week we’ve ruled out several possibilities: inyectors OK, spark plugs OK, compression in cylinders OK, spark plug wiring OK. It seems to lead to a faulty software.
                  Next step will be to reload SW into the ECU and see if that solves it.
                  Pain in the neck but bike is a thrill to ride once lver 2500 rpm. ✅✅

                  The journey is the objective.

                    @goosehd I ran it with an unlatched tank cap (risky, not recommendable) and problem continues…

                      Swapped out an aging rear tire for a fatter White Wall. Some nice bikes at the shop.

                        This weekend was too good not to go out, spent most of it on bike finding roads i didn't even know existed, like this one which apparently goes underwater at high tide

                        ...shame i managed to get my big fat finger in the picture...

                                    Past Saturday we went on a bike trip with several friends, 7 bikes altogether. Our end destination was Toro Toro, the town and the national park encompassing the area go by the same name. Toro Toro sits at 2700 mts and it is one of the three sites known in Bolivia for dinosaur tracks.

                                    Brief stop on the way in the Saipina valley, hoping to see condors lazily surfing the thermal currents but no such luck today.

                                    Local produce for sale by the roadside. Green ones are watermelons (sandia in spanish); yellow ones are pumpkins (zapallo). These pumpkins have these prominent protuberances which look like worts but I assure you they taste wonderful in a local soup.

                                    We still have cobblestone roads around here. My bike’s suspension isn’t too happy on these bumpy surfaces. Dual sport/adventure bikes have an easier time on them.

                                    This shepherdess was having a difficult time getting her sheep to share the bridge with our parked bikes. With loud encouragement from a couple of our travel buddies we managed to get them safely across. She wasn’t in a good mood after the nuisance caused by visitors.

                                    Gasoline is in very short supply around the country; diesel is virtually unobtainum. We had to buy fuel in 3 liter bottles in the secondary market at between a 60% to a 87% markup. Approximately half of our total fuel fill-ups were this way. We knew we would face this before setting off.

                                    These tracks are supposed to belong to a herbivorous dinosaur

                                    IMG_2673.jpeg
                                    Now most tracks we were shown were sunken imprints (negative relief), but these here in positive relief were more difficult to understand as to the WHY. Our guide had a confusing explanation so I’m not sure I can convince any of you guys either. Perhaps a paleontologist in the forum will clarify? These are believed to belong to a carnivorous dinosaur.

                                    Couple more examples…plenty and varied dino tracks to see here.

                                    As this is a bike thread after all, I feel compelled to include these two pics with my dino-juice guzzling steed framed by rocky, geology themed backgrounds.

                                    This sunrise pic was our parting view as the mountains were briefly struck by these orange rays before the sun was totally blocked out by a grey sky for the rest of the day.
                                    A fun, 6 day, 1200 km trip.

                                    The journey is the objective.
