    Tappet noise & strange result of valve adjustment

    The flat tappet problems were never solved by Guzzi, every flat tappet 8V engine will sooner or later need the conversion to rollers.

    Plug wires

    I use these: http://www.pertronix.com/prod/ig/flame/wires/default.aspx#8mmUniversalWireSets They are 8mm leads, had them custom made to length by a Dutch company, fit fine and no problems any more.

    What to do once low oil pressure is diagnosed.

    10 psi is dangerously low, could be your oil pump or over-pressure valve amongst others. I would certainly check my big-end bearings for wear during repair.

    Got A Griso after 7 years of waiting

    Todd's ecu flash combined with the Power Commander V and an afternoon on a dyno @ a tuning specialist is without doubt the best money spend on my 8V! Driveabillity, smoother gear shifting and increased power and torque made it a better and more fun to drive bike. My personal favorite exhaust is...

    NEw 2015 Griso - Got to get more back in the seat

    I have the Rizoma bars, shortened 2cm each side, Todd's 1 inch lowered pegs and the Corbin seat for the Griso. Now 1300km from my home to Italy in one day is no problem, biggest improvement was the seat, after a couple of hours on the stock one my butt hurt like hell. But not all butt's are the...

    Strange sound coming from LH cylinder head 8V

    Sorry to hear that Michail, that's a sad story.... Over here in Holland we have economical problems and high unemployment at the moment but nothing compared to your country of course :( To keep your dream alive I post a picture of my bike for you, good luck Michael!

    Strange sound coming from LH cylinder head 8V

    Hi Michail, it took over 5 months to recieve the parts then. I covered 9000km since the change of parts and everything is still fine. Why are you 3 years less close to your dream bike Michail? Klaas.

    Strange sound coming from LH cylinder head 8V

    To my shame I see I've never finished this thread. After many months waiting I received the parts from Germany (did not want the Dutch importer earn a penny from me anymore). The cam housing, and a tappet + pushrod have been replaced by me and the noise was gone and still is. To be on the safe...

    Griso 8V Dyno chart - 112,1 bhp / 115,8 Nm

    Portland Oregon is 52.5 meters above sea level, my run was done at 16 meters a.s.l., not a big difference indeed but then there are so many variables involved. Maybe Michail can chime in and tell us some more about the subject?

    Griso 8V Dyno chart - 112,1 bhp / 115,8 Nm

    So with a different exhaust and probably air filter (BMC here, not paper but cotton based like K&N) we have a difference of 4hp on Todd's base map. Doesn't sound much to me John.. And then there are other variables like hight above sea level, temperature etc.

    Griso 8V Dyno chart - 112,1 bhp / 115,8 Nm

    Thanks for all that info Michail, very instructive! @ John: What is the exact setup of your 8V? My result may differ a few horsies with another altitude/temp/bench but certainly not in the order of 10hp or more I think. Maybe you should not go for "free" dyno runs but go to a reputable tuner...

    Griso 8V Dyno chart - 112,1 bhp / 115,8 Nm

    No problem Mi_ka, here we go: Power was delivered in 4th gear and it took approx. 8 seconds. The Tovami bench measures slippage of the rear wheel and corrects for it in the graph. HdeB is a small but highly respected motorcycle tuning company (does not sell bikes) with mostly Dutch and German...

    Griso 8V Dyno chart - 112,1 bhp / 115,8 Nm

    Run was done on a calibrated brake dyno, this one: More info (Dutch): http://www.tovami.com/testbank-motor-geremd.php I'm not going to share this map with people who don't trust my tuner, I have nothing to prove. Just thought it be fun to post the chart.
