That sounds like a good dealer. Plus, I would hope the factory actually wants the entire motor back so they can disassemble it and see what happened. But that might be a bridge too far.Dealer is trying to order a replacement engine. There's a V7III in a warehouse but its different in that the racer has exposed edge cooling fins. I told them I'm interested in a carbon dark engine if one of those are available.
No word on the cause. I don't think they want to waste time opening it up and doing a post-mortem if the entire engine is being replaced anyway. They want me back on the road asap.
Glad things seem to be going in the right direction.
My Griso was one of the first in the USA, it was the first sold in MD and I bought it sight unseen. About a week into owning it I was riding down the BW Parkway when the fuel hose popped off the fuel pump. The dealer came out with their truck and picked me up. They took real good care of me. That helped a lot.
