Sfida 1100i First Fire

First Fire after rebuild of a Sfida 1100i, essentially a Guzzi Sport 1100i in a modified frame and wearing different clothes
Prior to the video oil and gas were added, plugs out and the engine turned over to establish oil pressure
This was the second attempt, during the first attempt a leak at the fuel level sender was noted and the attempt aborted. After installation of an O Ring to stop the leak a second attempt was made this time with the Video camera recording
The abortive first attempt accounts for why the bike fired so quickly, the fuel system had been pressurized during the first attempt so the bike was ready to go (although I didn't know that at the time)
Tailpiece was off to allow access to bits and pieces and to whip the tan of quickly if necessary

Hi Franz Yes Sir Arturo was a genuis I am a huge fan of his bikes. A great pity there were so few of them made

Perhaps the idle speed a lil low on one cylinder... She's a beauty!!!

[@MistaWeeGee]

Thanks, very kind of you to say so At that point no balancing or settings on the TBs had been touched, so surprised the dammed thing ran at all, it does run a little better now

[@RANDOM24h]

Is it sometimes a late ignition? What ignition is it?

[@MistaWeeGee]

Bike is running the standard ignition system but the ECU is Cliff Jeffries "My ECU", the misbehaviour was down misbalanced TBs and TPS needing reset. She runs a lot smoother now

[@gunston999]

Rev the damn thing 😳

[@MistaWeeGee]

LOL I was just amazed it started and didn't blow apart, after I'd rebuilt it.
