    Good luck all

    I'm feeling like I'm the odd man out here and clearly I'm in the minority when it comes to views about Moto Guzzi. When I bought 3 Ducatis and 2 Moto Guzzis I knew that they were off beat and required a steep learning curve on the part of the owner. Clearly the safe bet are the Japanese bikes...

    Fuel ecconomy?

    Your estimate of 40 - 45 miles after going on reserve is exactly what I have experienced while carrying spare fuel I ran it out on purpose. Carrying the extra 2 gallons allows one to push the reserve with out fear of running out. A GPS really helps as you always know where the gas station is...

    Stuck. Need an answer about heated grip plugs

    The Blue and Black pair of wires in your photo are for the GPS and should have 12 volts when key is turned on. Unable to make out the other wire colours in your photo. Still do not understand why you have to install a relay as I didn't have to on my Canadian 2009 Stelvio. I detailed the fuse to...

    Stelvio with a 4.25" rear rim

    Bob thanks for all your comments and trip advise, I've shared it with my two friends that are riding with me up North. I wish you a safe ride on the East coast and would love to hear your riding your Stelvio rather than your V Strom but that's your choice. If you PM me your address I'll set you...

    Dunlop D616 tires versus Scorpion Syncs.

    Since I put a 4.25" rear rim on the bike I kind of bit the bullet and put TKC80's on it. With the 5.5" rear rim I was very limited and that's what premedicated the question re tire choices. The Stelvio is set up very well for pavement but not so good if you travel lots of gravel and mud. The...

    Stelvio with a 4.25" rear rim

    Thanks. Just got in from a ride. Have ridden it about 255 miles, no issues. The 4.25" rear rim is tubeless, so far no leak down.

    Stelvio with a 4.25" rear rim

    Thanks Bob. I'll take the TKC80's off this week end, just wanted to see what it was like on the road. Rode the bike for 90 miles today,they worked amazingly well but will wear quickly on pavement. Will put back on in Dawson City. Plan on riding the Dempster, Dalton, and Denali routes and back...

    Stelvio with a 4.25" rear rim

    Just got my wheel back from Woodys Wheel Works with a 4.25" tubeless rear rim. Cost was $550.00 USD, that did not include the shipping. Think if someone wants to mount a more dual sport tire this is a good option. The quality of the work and the materials used by WWW is very high end and I have...

    High gearing

    Keith, I find it the same as you so tend to be in 5th. Have wondered if a map upgrade may have some effect on this and provide slightly more midrange. Suspect Pete Roper , Todd and others may have the skinny on this.

    2010 Stelvio Fog Light wiring

    Peter, the wire colours are -Blue (ground wire), -Yellow with Black tracer (the hot). Have included a better wiring drawing that clearly shows all items. The relay is item #6 and the fog lights are #52. The wires are located as per Pete Ropers comments, just under the lower fairing. Not two hard...

    New to me 1980 SP1000

    Good on ya Bob. Makes me want to go and start cleaning up the Daytona. I really like the SP although don't know much about them but they strike me as pre new era and post old school so like their era. Post lots of pictures as you progress please. Have fun and good luck with your new project.

    North American Stelvio

    Bruce, you are right about the price but I did order the big Stelvio bag from Moto International for $308.00 USD. More than I wanted to spend but really wanted a tank bag. After I ordered it came accross a used Wolfman that would fit a BMW GS1200 with a tank shaped some what like a Stelvios. You...

    Voltage at idle and Oxford grips.

    Here is a copy of the electrical drawing. Better than the one in the WS manual.

    Voltage at idle and Oxford grips.

    I used the wiring diagram as found on Gregory Benders web site and just wired the Oxford grips into the wires as per that drawing. They are found on the right and left side of the bike, removed the fairing to find them. I think they were solid green and white with a black tracer. Don't take my...

    Voltage at idle and Oxford grips.

    I wired two different bike up with Oxfords just the way you did and they worked fine. On my Stelvio I took the Oxford controller off and wired the grips into the bike controller that is part of the ECU. It only has three settings-low,med, and high and it works fine. You have to be at a...

    North American Stelvio

    The decal was just for fun! Almost have my bike ready for the season. Still waiting for the rear rim to come back from Woodys Wheel Works with a 4.25" X17"rear rim mounted, it will still be tubeless, and a tank bag from Moto International. Should have both by next week.
