Single-phase air-cooled stator with permanent magnet rotor. Old school for a 2011 bike.
Rectifier/Regulator
Narrowed the charging issue down to the rectifier/regulator.
Single-phase air cooler Ducati Energia stator produced 79V AC at 4000rpm. 0.2 ohms and no leak to ground.
Voltage across battery terminals only 12.4V DC at 4000rpm.
New part on the way.

It's hard to beat riding a Guzzi to eat some health rings. ๐คค

Time for #emotionalsupport: The #V9 was for shaft inspection because we reached 20KKM. So far so good, but they found out that the clutch will be done in the near future...estimated costs: 4K CHF (the new bike was about 10K) - I am quite frustrated. The #MotoGuzzi was built in 22... ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฉ
The gear box needs a lot of attention, esp. switching from higher to lower gear needs experience and feeling.

With a huge tank and shaft drive, all generations of the V7 are great light tourers. ๐

From the 'fit and forget' Super Tenere and iconic R 1200 GS, to the surprisingly hooligan-esque V-Strom 1000, here are the five best used adventure tourers you can buy right now for less than ยฃ5,000. #motorcycle #adventurebike #BMW #Yamaha #Suzuki #Honda #Triumph #MotoGuzzi #RideFarBeAwesome
Een mooie voorjaarsdag. De Guzzi van stal gehaald voor het eerste proefritje. Dat verveelt nooit.

#SundayFun: Excellent #Cezanne exhib @ @fondationbeyeler.bsky.social Always a pleasure being there. The museum itself is the biggest star for me. Cezanne was very good as well as the "Sensations" exhib.
And then my imagination fooled me - saw in my mind how Cezanne painted my #MotoGuzzi ๐ #motosky
Ready for Season 2026 ๐

Spokes would be good, but pretty much just the front end and a pipe swap to go. The #MotoGuzzi #Griso will be finished next week
Looking down on an air-cooled V twin motorcycle with the tank off.
Moto Guzzi. Turning riders into auto-electricians since 1921.

Season's 1st longer ride. Great time #cruising through Southern Black Forrest area. Sunshine with the snow-covered alps on the horizon and up to 16 C.
That was enjoyable after many cold gray days.
#Happy. #Relaxed. Filled with #energy.

Some more progress with the #MotoGuzzi #Griso. Not quite as much as Iโd hoped. Still fighting the front disc and Iโm gonna make the pipes chrome - as they left the factoryโฆ
Most important Learning for me:
My plans to purchase an ADV bike (like the #MotoGuzzi #V85TT) have been put on hold. All these bikes feel too big and clumsy. I will wait until #MotoGuzzi builds a #Scrambler like the #Stornello again (alternatively: Convert a V7 to a Scrambler)

Making the best out of my time while waiting for Spring: Visit #MotoZurich26 today. Visiting the #MotoGuzzi booth was mandatory, but the most interesting bikes came from ๐จ๐ณ. Forget overpriced #Harley #BMW #Triumph and the Japanese guys. #Rieju #Benda #CFMoto offer affordable performance. #Motosky

Run to the store for some zingers. #motosky #motoguzzi
Maybe some salt on the road but warm enough to ride, and im not the only one. Salt just means the Miata has to stay indoors longer. But I had a nice short ride to stretch the legs again.

Some progress on the #Motoguzzi #Griso. Not as much as Iโd like, the front disc is proving difficult to rotate. Drawing it separately was really bad idea - I got lots of them!
