    Noisy Griso

    Just to let you all know that my Griso is back on the road and I'm more than happy. I've told the whole story of what happened in the post titled "1200 8V follower and cam issues" :cheer:

    1200 8V follower and cam issues

    I am extremely pleased to to say that all is good and has worked out better than I had imagined it could. Tom Newell helped me through the process of getting the warranty replacement/conversion kit (C), it took a bit of time and we had to jump through some hoops but as soon as Paggio was...

    1200 8V follower and cam issues

    Thanks John but as I said, I've done this site, wildguzzi and the Internet in general to death on a search for a solution that is confirmed to have been successful. Even though there's a lot of talk about roller followers there is only one person who has actually had the conversion done and it's...

    1200 8V follower and cam issues

    Is there anyone anywhere supplying or have the solution to the follower/cam issue independant of Moto Guzzi themselves, I've spent days searching the Internet with zero results. Also there are zero results from the factory only some rumors surrounding what the factory has done, seemingly...

    I thought I saw a noise

    Well, as I had seen from this site that my 2009 8V was still not in the clear regarding the follower and cam issue, I disassembled the top end of the engine out of curiosity as I had come to a dead end in finding the cause of my noise, I found 1 follower with all the black coating gone and the...

    Noisy Griso

    G'day Trogladyte, I have used a stethoscope and only found the expected clatter from the heads. I know Guzzis are noisy, I actually love the racket they make , but another player entered the orchestra the other day and he's not a member and not welcome, I can't work out what instrument he's...

    Noisy Griso

    STRUTH ! Before joining this forum and starting the "I thought I heard a noise" thread just a couple of days ago, I had searched the site for Griso noise and 8V noise but somehow missed this thread. It sounds awfully similar to the noise I am looking for the source of, I know how sound can...

    I thought I saw a noise

    Basically the tool I have is round with teeth cut to fit the clutch plates snugly. There is a hole in the center through which a bolt is inserted then threaded into the end of the crankshaft. I've placed a wire tie on the bolt at the engine side of the tool to make extraction after use easier...

    I thought I saw a noise

    Yeah John I realized today that I need to rethink the tool I made as the pressure plate needs to go on first. Could you post a couple of photos of the tool you use or maybe a link to some diagrams/photos of it, the workshop manual photos and description just don't make any sense to me.

    I thought I saw a noise

    Thanks Dave and John, I used something a lot more technical to find the noise Dave, a length of garden hose, it transmits the sound so well that ya don't even have to jam it into ya ear like ya do a screwdriver. Geez that tool looks awkward hey, I also have an LM MKV and have used a bit of...

    I thought I saw a noise

    I'm new to the site but not to Guzzis, I have an SE that I bought new in December 2009, it hasn't missed a beat and has never given me a moments grief. Last Wednesday I rode in to Brisbane with a mate to have dinner at the Morrison Hotel and meet up with a group we're in, Brisbane Cafe Racers...
