Just got it firing!
I have had my V85TT over heat 3-4 times now (my first Guzzi and air cooled bike so not sure if this is normal). First was on a rough forest service road in 85F (29.5C) weather. I chalked it down to the slow riding, but thought any adventure bike should have been fine under the same circumstances. Few weeks later riding in city traffic (stop and go), I had the light come one. I tried to shut off the engine and even duck walk it a time or two if the traffic was only creeping along. It was about 65F (18.3C) out, so not hot out at all. Before the next ride I notice the oil was low (had about 4000 miles on the bike at that time). I convinced myself that the low oil was the cause. Then there is last week, 6000 mile service done on Friday, on Sat I am riding up from Seattle, say 20 miles of freeway, stop get gas, then get stuck at a light and have the engine light come on after idling for two rounds of the traffic light. This time it was 50F (10C) out. Now I am loosing confidence the bike will work for me, I do ride in traffic and I do ride in 100+ F temps. The dealer is 80 miles away, so I would like to avoid a run up there in the cold if it is just some loose sensors or there are other tricks of the trade for riding an air cooled bike I should know. I will check the lambda sensor to make sure it is fully connected, other than that any suggestions?
