Alternator belt change.

At some 63K miles and 15 years, I finally got round to it. After
reading horror stories, the Guzzi's belt was merely a bit perished.

It was a surprisingly easy job (which is always worrying; what did I
miss?) even though I had to remove several bits and bobs to get at
stuff: fuel tank, front tank trim, RH ignition coil, crankcase
breather, and drop the oil cooler.

I also refitted the satnav wiring, this time to a connector that is
switched.

All *seems* OK.

It's been more than a week.
You should have come to terms with it by now.
No "Unknown unknowns" ?

Not yet. I've only done one commute, with satnav set to work postcode.
It was pretty much business as usual. Apart, that is, from the satnav
suggesting a different route (filled with traffic) to the one I
usually take, and freezing up a couple of times at the start f the
journey, which is nothing new.
