Note: this modification is not as important for the V11 sixspeeds as it was for older Guzzis.

Carl Allison's V1100 Sport
page. Much of the information at Carl Allison's Sportissimo
Page is applicable to the V11S. And he has wiring schematics for many Guzzis
Click here to go to Gary Cheek's website where he has excellent instructions on how to take a load off your wiring, ignition switch and relays by relaying the power to the headlight more directly from the battery. Also some nice photos.
Click here to see my colorized version of his diagram
Image of my untested wiring diagram that allows for a daytime energy saving mode. Current is passed through the high and low filaments in series. Energy saving is useful if you want to run electrical accessories, or if your battery is weak.
Here are my before and after shots from re-wiring the headlights with relays using Gary Cheeks diagram and assistance:

Read Doug Lofgren's dyno results before buying ECU modifiers, mufflers,
crossovers and air filters.

Power Commander Maps for V11S You can find Conor's map there. Use
wisely, too lean or rich of a mixture may damage your engine, and
invalidate your warranty

PARTS AND SPECIFICATIONS
Air Filters Air Filters Airbox Replacements:
1. K&N - Old #MG-1093, New # 33-2682 (Automotive application that fits
perfectly)
2. Amsoil Products 2 stage foam # S1938
3. BMC 164/01
The current FBF number for the BMC filter is F33705 $49.95US
The airbox kit with filter is F45700 $79.95
The airbox kit, without filter(for those who already have a BMC or want paper or K&N) F45701 $32.95
The dimensions for the BMC filter are 134 x 224mm
Apparently the original filter crosses w/ Fiat
part number "Fiat 4434868" so, you may be able to find other matches.
Seperate Filters for those eliminating the airbox.
For those keeping and modifying the intake tubes from between the airbox and the throttle bodies a 2-1/4 inch filter works well:
K&N RU-0600
round, non-tapered, straight flange
flange: 2-1/4" (57mm)
width: 3-1/2" (89mm)
length: 4" (102mm)
For those connecting directly to the throttle bodies measure the outer diameter of the throttle body to match a K and N filter.
click here for K&N Universal filters
Fuel Filters NAPA gold FIL3023 Is known to work.
Any filter that cross references a Nissan Pathfinder will probably work.
Oil Filters The OEM filter is the UFI 2328700
Fram PH3614 will fit but construction is
questioable. WalMart sells the SuperTech ST3614 for
around $3-$4 (vs $15 for the Guzzi UFI filter). This filter is made by Champion
labs, is better constructed than a Fram, and has a 94% multiple pass
efficiency rating. Just be sure to clean it and remove the decal on the filter before
you install it.
(Tip from Tracy Martin, off of the Wildguzzi.com
site)
Some more expensive options are Amsoil EAOM132 and K&N KN-163
My current first choice, due to a good gasket design and other excellent ratings, is the Purolator L10241
Valve Clearance
Every one has a different opinion about this.
Clearance specs (I think this is the US spec): intake: 0.002" (0.05mm), exhaust: 0.004" (0.10mm)
Clearance specs (rest of world, but also what appears in the owners manual): intake: 0.004" (0.10mm), exhaust 0.006" (0.15mm)
I like mine set to 0.006"(0.15mm) intake and 0.008"(0.20mm) exhaust.
RaceCo recommends 0.008"(0.20mm) intake and 0.010"(0.25mm) exhaust
The head should be torqued to 40 N.M, or 29.5 foot.pounds.
Fluid Capacities and
Conversions
3.5 liters of 20W/50 engine oil = 3.7 US quarts = 3.08 imperial
quarts
0.85 liters of SAE W/90 tranmission oil = 0.90 US quarts
= 0.75 imperial quarts
0.37 liters of a mix of 80W/90 and moly
additive = 0.39 US quarts = 0.33 imperial quarts
0.4 liters of
SAE 10 fork oil for each fork leg = 0.4227 US quarts = 0.352 imperial

Quat-D Muffler available from Ghezzi-Brian. I bought one of these and loved it The midrange improved but I lost a little top end.
It made the bike more fun to drive and handle better because of its under transmission position. But I wanted more top end power so I traded for Mistrals. I am not sure it was a good idea to trade, oh well. for more on this muffler: http://www.guzzitech.com/Quat-D_David-L.html UPDATE Quat-D came out with a new model that is more promising.
