Apparently is running with a weak fuel/air mixture, white exhaust, White spark plugs...
It works perfectly, to be honest, but I want to make sure I'm not doing any damage, considering I'm driving at least 60km a day...
And you, out of curiosity, where does your nickname come?

Hopefully it's nothing too serious.  As for my handle, I used to own a v11 Lemans Moto Guzzi and adopted the name for a forum I joined and kept it ever since.

Yeah, I asked you because I like guzzis too and I live where the moto guzzi factory is...
Yes, hopefully nothing serious, I just have to tune the Co but I need the mechanic to be open, for the gas analizer.. Now everybody is on holidays

Hello from Canada, pne. I noticed your Guzzi comment and couldn't help but jump in. I bought a 2007 Breva 1100 about 4 months ago. Her name is Linda! What a great machine, so full of character and so good-looking! She certainly has an Italian flair to her. I think Guzzis are very much under-appreciated bikes....and not cheap, either. They don't try to be modern Japanese (also great machines). They do their own thing, have their own style. I hope the brand survives. I feel so lucky to have one of these bikes....they are rare in my area! So are the Ks, however. And I feel lucky to have one of those, too.


Your English is fine!
