Engine head temp sensor update - Crow for dinner, Humble Pie for desert

Thanks, [pete roper]. That's oddly reassuring. You might want to step back a little bit

My experience with power commander is that it raises and narrows the useful power band while giving better power and drinking fuel like my x tossing back gimlets at an open bar.  So once you pull it out expect the bike to become more driveable, but also more tame.  The part where your mileage went up only slightly when you unplugged it points to just how far out of trim the baseline is.

Give it a good service -- plugs, valves, oil, and change the air filter.  Then bring it to the national in June.  For dinner and a tank of gas I'll take a pass at the injection.  If you don't like the base, 'economy' trim, you can always just plug back in the PCIII and it will be the same as you remember it.

That's a very generous offer, and I'd really enjoy taking you up on it.

Unfortunately I'd need to quit my job and rob banks on the way there (Kansas?) to make that work, so I think instead I'll go to my hotmail Guzzi folder and also dig through the bookmarks on my computer at home - I know I've saved links to some threads written at the beginner level for how to do some of this stuff. I think there's also instructions on how to make a sync tool from my homebrewing clear siphon hose and a pint of my own blood.

On a vaguely related note, I heard a tale second hand about two guys on BMWs who would go to the midwest, rob a few banks, come to San Diego and live on the proceeds until cash was low, rinse and repeat. Eventually they got caught - I don't know why they thought BMWs would be subtle.

(wikipedia) Wow, that's a summary of a man's rough life...

This is the link in my email stash - Hmmm, it doesn't mention Bassas, and I don't have a working tach either.

Day ride from San Diego.

Day ride from San Diego.

Pete and I didn't take the direct route from the city of the angles, but I remember about 1300 miles. I would think it would be a really serious day ride. 

[normzone]

Yeah, about like those guys who go for the Cannonball Run record - only 13 hours at 100 mph average.

I think it's time for a new thread - I really appreciate everybody's help on this one, but I was peering under the tank and between the carbs  injector thingamaboppies, and it doesn't look too complex. First thing is to scrape off the yellow paint on all those screws and make sure they're not stuck...

Yeah....me too.
