    Advice for luggage on V7II wanted

    Find myself wanting to carry more stuff recently. Have a V7II Scrambler setup with Arrow high exhaust. 1st scenario is I want a bag late enough to carry a DSLR camera / lenses, etc - so not considering a roll, or soft tube shape bag.

    Griso 1200 8v Blows Fuse B on Start

    Hello! I have a Griso 8v 1200 (2008) and years ago I had a problem with the "B" fuse blowing out when I tried to start the bike. It did this every once in awhile and then the problem would disappear. My mechanic tried to find the cause but couldn't. Fortunately it just went away. It was always...

    Later this week my wife and I our off on little adventure – a 5 day ride around South Korea. It's a 6.5 hour ferry to Busan from where we live, Fukuoka, Japan.

    Fuse blows out repeatedly - Griso 8v

    Have a 2008 8v. About a year ago I went to start the bike and it wouldn't. The dash went through its normal routine - nothing unusual - but after pressing the starter I'd just here a "click" sound. Turned out a #15 fuse had blown, the 2nd from the top (top being towards the gas tank). Fast...

    Griso 8v Dashboard advice

    Have a Griso 8v 2008. The dash has been plagued with the foggy moisture under the glass since the bike was new. My dealer said it's common and reports online confirmed that. I've ignored it. But now my dash has gone flaky, i.e goes blank, or shows incredible speeds even at standstill and in...

    New map and now like-new bike (G8v)

    Picked up my g8v with the new map installed. My bike is 100% stock with 10,000 km on it. Wow! what a difference. Much smoother. The popping is completely gone. Can't say if there is more power or not, as I was taking it a bit easy as I also got new tires put on, front and back - Metzeler ROADTEC...

    Suggestions for Tires for a Griso 8v

    Hello all,,, well Spring is definitely getting closer. Longer days, warmer sun, and plum blossoms out. My Griso 8v with 10,000 Ks on it definitely needs some new tires front and back. I'm a weekend rider, and pretty much all year round - less in the winter - but a month never goes by with a few...

    Griso and v7c on TV in the UK

    A few months ago Charley Boorman (Long Way Round fame) passed though our area and my friend Humphrey helped co-ordinate one stage of Charlie's latest BBC TV/DVD series.

    Kyushu Moto Guzzi Rally - Oct. 11, 2009

    I doubt many on this board will be able to attend - but what the heck! I'm still very much a rookie MG rider - but doing my part and a bit to evangelize the marquee. So, on this Sunday, after the approaching typhoon passes us by (we hope!), the first ever "Kyushu Moto Guzzi Rally" will take...

    Charley Boorman - on our V7 Classic

    Charley Boorman is now in Japan filming "By Any Means-2", and we ended up riding with him for a day and half. Had a lot of fun and might have even generated a bit of exposure for Moto Guzzi! Wrote up a short report here: http://fukuokanow.wordpress.com/ Nick

    What is the most current Map for Griso 8V is?

    My 8v was updated in late Sep 2008 with what was in Axone 6.0.2 By bike is in to have the camshaft recall work done and thought I'd have the map refreshed is the was a newer one - and if it was recommended. So what is the verdict? Yes I could ask my dealer, but he's had problems getting the...

    Rough Riding Griso 8v - Help!

    My Griso 8v has 5,000 Ks on it, the No.2 map installed and has been running beautifully, until last week. At the end of a long ride and after coming off a bit of highway running when I twisted the throttle strongly - like starting off at stop lights, instead of the usual smooth power build...

    Griso & Stelvio test rides

    I have a 8vG, but today I had a chance to ride a Stelvio for about a half hour. Same engine, but as reported by others, noticeably milder performance compared to the Griso 8v. A very different ride too, of course. Nice to sit up so high with great visibility. I liked it more than I thought I...
