Thanks for this feedback. I haven't really found any specicifc answers to this issue as it doesn't seem common. I will pass this on to the MG Mechanic and ask he looks into reflashing. Thanks again.

California 1400 hanging throttle

Russ, have you had a word with Mario at Thunderbikes in Perth, he is one of the best Guzzi guru's in Oz, he may be able to throw some light on it.

Thanks John, Yeah, I speak with Mario off and on and called him about the hanging throttle issue. He recommended that I reset the ECU and potentially have the TPS reviewed. I have it booked in for next week in the hope some technical magic may correct the issue. I am located in Cairns and there really isn't a qualified provider that I can have a map installed, and it is beyond my skill set. I will speak with the mechanic next week and ask if he can look at loading any maps in future. I also have a V85 that I would like to modify, but am not keen unless someone assesses its performance after any changes- Maybe another call to Mario may point me in the right direction.

Thanks for this, I am hoping I should have a fix next week, but may need to take it further if I have no luck- Sounds like Todd's solution improves the bike performance as well. I have heard nothing but positive commentary on his work.

Solution to the problem of high idle when going slow...
The particular arrangement of the air-cooled engine causes the hot air of the engine to hit the intake manifold, located behind the cylinders, and heat it up.
Reading the data of the air intake temperature with the Guzzidiag diagnosis, and an ambient temperature of 30 degrees, it is easy to see that the IAT sensor reads over 50 degrees, especially when you go slowly and the engine oil temperature rises above 110 degrees.
The NTC resistance of the IAT sensor does not have a linear behavior and with such high temperatures it assumes a value tending to zero, greatly reducing the carburation, causing a further increase in the engine oil temperature.
The control unit does not like this and raises the idle to protect the engine.
Solution: cut the purple-black wire no. 2 on the integrated MAP + IAT sensor located in the intake manifold and insert a fixed 150 Ohm 1/2 watt resistor for electronic circuits in series with the cut wire.
In this way, even with very hot intake air, the control unit will read a maximum of 150 ohms of the fixed resistor, or an air temperature of 30 degrees.
Disconnect the battery before making the change!
The solution is also valid when installing modified IATs such as the SmartIAT Belinassu or similar.
Problem solved, which recurs with an oil temperature above 145 degrees, but at those temperatures, which are reached only by voluntarily keeping the bike warm, turned on and stopped for many minutes, it is correct that the control unit raises the minimum to protect the engine.
Remember that the bike must be in good condition, the valves must be properly adjusted, and the control unit defects must be deleted.
Furthermore, using the rain map on slow and winding roads helps to keep the engine from overheating, and it will be even happier if you can make it run over 3000 rpm.
Have a good trip, everyone.
