    Change in Rollerization Position - Enjoying some tasty Crow Pie... Yum Yum!

    Ye Scott, What a beautiful feeling when you lift the cover and find rollers where you expected to find flatties:clap: I got that same feeling when I done the first valve check on my 2013 registered (but 2011 build year model) Stelvio. I was prepared to do the roller conversion only to get the...

    Griso or Stelvio which one?

    I am lucky enough to own a Griso and a Stelvio which covers (most) all my guzzi itches that need to be scratched.:D I think that the Stelvio is the best for long distance in all types of weather, especially with a pillion on board. It is super comfortable and handles brilliantly. I agree with...

    Rollerization

    The plug that I am talking about is a black rubber bung to the right of the gearbox oil filler plug and to the left of the oil cooler rad on the right hand side of the bike. There is subbosed to be a factory mark there on the flywheel for TDC on one of the cylinders (the left I think) but I...

    Rollerization

    Yep would be much easier if new parts were delivered first, but I was just glad to have the parts supplied by the factory. But it's not that difficult to make sure that you are at TDC on compression stroke by inserting a straw or something similar down the sparkplug hole and checking if valves...

    Rollerization

    Jim, I recently done the conversion on my Griso and I also had to take both sets of camboxes off at the same time as the shop needed both sets returned before they sent me the replacements supplied by Guzzi. I set the left side to TDC first, then pinned up the tensioner and cable tied up the...

    NTX buying guide

    I would go for the 2013 as it should be the newer model that has the bigger fuel tank, traction control and ABS as well as a few other small improvements on your existing bike. If it is a genuine 2013 build model, it will have the roller tappets (they changed from flat to roller sometime in mid...

    Red Warning Light Flashing

    Mine flashes like goodo too, I dont think it always done it but definitely has for the last year. Always presumed it was the immobiliser indicator, dont seem to notice it anymore! Mine is a Griso though! ,:shake:

    How to make sure engine doesn't overheat?

    Hi all, When I was stuck in traffic on my way to the Ulster Grand Prix road race yesterday l became aware that my engine was probably getting hot from lack air flow through the cooling fins. I was wondering is there much chance of damaging the engine in this situation or is there any type of...

    Griso 8V Newbie

    Congrats on the new bike, I also have a g8 but do not find any of the problems that you describe. I had to fit lower pegs for added comfort but I like the aggressive position of the wide bars, I also dont have any issue with the clutch set up apart from having the clutch leaver set to its no 4...

    Griso lower pegs 1"or 2"

    I have also ordered the MFW Vario adjustable peg set up for the griso, I went with the 30mm option like ohiorider. I like the option of being quickly able to lower or raise the peg by opening a bolt. As I live in Europe I ordered directly from the MFW Vario website in Germany. Hopefully I...

    Griso lower pegs 1"or 2"

    Thanks Todd for the welcome to the Famiglia, I think the seed was sown when me and my wife visited the guzzi museum in Italy last year. I will probably go with the set up that Kiwijohn and Uzidzit have on their bikes as I like the flexibility of the vario pegs to rotate as well as lower. But...

    Griso lower pegs 1"or 2"

    Thanks guys for the much appreciated input, I take your point Piper75 and can definitely live with the stock pegs if required to revert back, I think I would like to give the 1" lowered ones a shot as 89MilleGT and North bayGriso both have a longer inseam than me and seem to find them an...

    Griso lower pegs 1"or 2"

    John, thanks for the insight, I should have included that I have a 32" inside leg seam so if anyone of a similar size has added lowered footpegs I would be glad of you'r experience as to the type of lowered pegs that you used and if it made a big difference comfort wise.

    Griso lower pegs 1"or 2"

    Hi All, I have been viewing this forum from Ireland for a long time in envy! But now at last I am the happy owner of a 2011 Tenni Green Griso which I purchased in the UK three weeks ago. I love the bike and really like the way it handles but at 5' 11" tall my legs are a little cramped and I...
