Hello: I'm a hope-before-Spring-to-get-a-MotoGuzzi person.
I've found a 20009 Stelvio 1200 4V for sale and am looking for guidance prior to going down to look at the machine.
Any suggestions as to what to look for (or, look out for) would be greatly appreciated.

One question I have now is: How is the machine in cold weather? I'm in Maine, and right now it is 4-degrees and snowing like hell. In 3 days all the streets will be clear and ready to ride upon.

Thanks in advance. Mike
 
Hi Mike, a 20009, man, talk about back to the future. ;) Congrats in advance!
Start by getting and posting the VIN#, or call your closest dealer with it and have them run it through their system. That will return anything that has been done (recalls or related), or not. There was a cam recall, and there's a few other minor things, but overall, they are quite good if well maintained. Count on greasing the swing arm and suspension bearings, and depending on your sensitivity and experience, you may want to upgrade the fueling, exhaust and suspension.
The battery would be the only issue in those temps... and the ECU mapping isn't very good in temps that cold. I can be of help with those if you'd like.
