    Griso airbox: Tricks to reinstalling airbox ?

    Got the airbox installed ! Today's weather helped A LOT. It was in the 90's today. Which means in my poorly vented, unshaded two car garage/shed; it was easily in the 120's. So the rubber snorkels were much more pliable. When I got off work, I headed out to the garage and tried again. After...

    Griso airbox: Tricks to reinstalling airbox ?

    Thanks. I had been using grease and then the lube I use for installing tires. Late last night (7pm eastern); I thought I got the airbox seated. But it did not seem quite right. It did not sit level under the seat. And it was a struggle fastening it via the two bolts at the back. But that was...

    Are these valves about done ?

    Just got done checking my valves on my Griso 1200 8V that now has 100k miles on it. During the first 50k miles I kept checking the valves at the specified interval; 6,250 miles. And I felt there was so little adjustment needed; that after 50k I decided to switch to checking valves every 10k...

    Griso 8v: different fork bushings than specified ? (and a little rant)

    One of the Winter projects for my 2010 Griso 8V 1200 was to have the fork oil changed. It's been two years and ~60,000 miles; since the last time it was changed. So I ordered the parts; dust seals, oil seals, inner and outer bushings, and crush washers. I ordered the parts before Christmas...

    Alternator or battery ? And can alternator be rebuilt ?

    So I bought a new battery last night and installed it today. Made absolutely no difference in voltage displayed on the dash. So that means the alternator is going bad. I've called the dealer and asked about the price of either a rebuild kit or a new alternator. And unfortunately Guzzi does not...

    Alternator or battery ? And can alternator be rebuilt ?

    Thanks for the replies guys. Sunday morning when I started this thread; was the first day this Fall that was cold enough to warrant using my heated clothing. And whenever I used my heated clothing; I always plug in the Battery Tender to the Griso when I get home for the night. Well even after...

    Alternator or battery ? And can alternator be rebuilt ?

    My Griso's battery charging appears to be slacking. When new; the voltmeter display on the dash was indicating approximately 14.6 volts while riding. (Which is within specs according to the manual I Have. A PDF file.) And when I used all my electric heated gear; the voltage would drop down...

    Griso as a Commuter?

    Commuting is where the majority of my 30,000 per year mileage comes from. Before my Griso 8V; I rode GSXR's. The Griso makes a slightly better commuter than the GSXR in some ways. And a slightly worse commuter than the GSXR in other ways. The Worse: Does not accelerate as quickly as my GSXR...

    8V High Mileage / Good News Stories

    Just turned 85,000 miles today on my almost 3 year old Griso. (2010 model I bought as leftover in Dec. 2011) So far the only non-self induced issues have been. RPM sensor needing to be replaced.

    Cold weather - Tire pressure Q

    The recommended PSI is always cold pressures. So I assume you are worried about the tires being over inflated do to the large ambient temperature swings (ie 30+ swings) between morning and afternoon this time of year in OH. ie. If you set the PSI correct in the morning on your way to work. They...

    Error ECU00: Caused by new oil ? Washing bike ?

    Only 1 quick flash of the SERVICE error today. Hope to check all electrical connectors this or next weekend. And also order the mid-exhaust. (The money spent on that RPM sensor was suppose to be spent on the mid-exhaust.)

    Well this morning on the way to work. The SERVICE error display has reappeared. It flashed over a dozen times. But never lasted long enough for me to get into the Diagnostics menu and catch the error code. It's only been a few hundred miles since replacing the RPM sensor. Starting to get very...

    Griso med windscreen doesn't quite fit. :(

    Loosening the headlight bracket is probably the only bolt-on solution. I'd give it a try. Congrats on the purchase ! ;)

    How do you route your accessary leads ?

    My Griso came with a Battery Tender lead. I assume it was not from the factory and that the dealer installed it. They routed it exiting the battery compartment from the positive terminal side, between the battery tray and fuel tank. So the lead hangs out by the left throttle body. When I added...
