krglorioso said:To what degree can other diagnostic tools be used to tune Guzzi fuel injection? If my question is naive, I apologize. My knowledge of motorbike electrics (much less electronics) stems from some years as a Velocette mechanic long ago. I was pretty adept then at setting mechanical voltage regulators and repairing BTH magnetos.
Also, am I wrong to believe that the automotive industry probably also uses Weber-Marelli pumps and Marelli injection? What tools do they use? Are these not usable on Guzzis?
I won't even ask if the later Amal Mk.II Concentric carburetors can be fitted in lieu of the Marelli injectors. My heart flutters at the very thought!

toddhaven said:Our Axone has been a monumental disappointment.
We've got over 50K invested in diagnostic tools.
Axone is the least useful.
Hard sell to pony up another 3K.
Mike suggested a trial. We'll see.
john zibell said:The problem is that updates/support will no longer be available for Axone to update maps in ECUs. VDSTS/Centurion by Techno Research can be used to do everything but update maps and is availble from Guzzitech https://www.guzzitech.com/store/TR-VDSTS.html for anyone to use. The replacement Navigator (which will be supported until they decide to discontinue it and replace with something new) probably will cost close to the appromately $3,000.00 that Axone cost. This is a price point that with the close margin in motorcycle work is difficult to recoup and could be the straw that breaks the camel's back when in comes to working with Guzzi as a dealer or service center.
