Not sure where I should put this, but since it is about using the PCV and A/T on an 8 valve Griso here seems like as good a place as any.
On another site there is a discussion about how great the GuzziDiag software is (which I don't really have an issue with) and how bad the PCV with AutoTune is. Seems there are some people who have taken the stance that the PCV A/T does not work on the 8 valve Guzzi and that everyone who is happily using it is ignorant while their motor is grossly over fueled. The funniest part of that to me is the idea that while the PCV and A/T can't properly fuel the 8v Guzzi motor somehow the GuzziDiag software is the great savior. That is all the more interesting when one of the people who is trumpeting the GuzziDiag approach has for the longest time insisted that there is nothing wrong with the stock fueling and no reason to use something like the PCV and A/T, that if you have a fueling issue it is from inadequate set up.
Now, I did try to point out some of the irony and conflicting logic there but as I am not an 8 valve owner (my Griso is a 2 valver) it is not really something I can lay personal claim to.
Just thought you guys might be interested in this. I go to that site mainly for the Aprilia XV technical info (of which there is plenty) and not for the Guzzi technical info (of which there is none) and found it strange to have such mis-information there. But when I tried to point out some of the flaws in logic (like how does the stock ECU correctly trim the fuel using the stock O2 sensor but somehow it is not possible for a PCV and A/T to trim the fuel using a wide band O2 sensor) I was met with a complete lack of understanding of how the PCV and A/T even worked, yet full conviction that it does not work correctly.
