    Crank no start - 1100.

    Its been a while since I tried to sort this issue on my Griso. The story so far: Bike running fine Feb 2022. July 2022, wouldn't start. Plugs dry. Replaced filter, hoses on filter (since gone back to original pump-to-filter pipe, using the correct Oetiker clips), and fuel-to-injectors pipe...

    Crank no start, Griso 1100.

    My bike is trying to get me to hate it! Last time I rode my Griso 1100 in January, it ran fine. Came to it yesterday and the Shidi lithium battery was low. Really low - 11.10v. Long story short, after 10(!) hours of charging, I got it up to full charge. Left it over night and it is holding at...

    Minor problem? ;)

    So I just had my Griso valves adjusted. Out for the first ride and all was going well till the bike started misfiring and making a godawful noise. Took the rocker cover off. See if you can spot the problem...

    Has anyone fitted aftermarket indicators?

    Just wondering if anyone had done this and what they did to get aftermarket indicators to fit on the front. I am working on my own solution to this issue. The problem is that the standard indicators have the bolt to attach the indicator base and a separate lug which the wiring comes out from...

    Would it benefit Guzzi to make lighweights/middleweights?

    I was thinking a few months back about getting a new 125cc. I ended up getting a Zontes, but if there had been a Moto Guzzi 125cc single, or maybe a 300-500cc middleweight, I would have jumped at one of those for sure. I know that Guzzi used to make the V35/50/65 (I had a V50/II myself) but...

    Indicator warning/which indicators fit?

    My orange G11 just started flashing the bulb-out warning light, and an arrow pointing left, but all my indicators still work fine. It just does it intermittently, but I have checked the connections and it seems to be hooked up ok. Is there anything else that could cause this warning? Also - I...

    Which way to position battery leads?

    I just got a new battery for the G11, and it is so hard to lock the seat down. The only thing changed is the batt, and I have had to replace a set of terminal leads previously because one broke off. I have tried turning the leads 90 degrees, so they run down the sides of the battery, and they...

    Oil level panic!

    I usually check my oil level very regularly, but I must have been a bit lax on it this year... I just went on a short ride, and there's a funny smell from the bike. It smells more like brake pad, a sooty sort of smell, but as a precaution, I checked the oil... its off the bottom of the...

    Odd starter issue!

    I made the heinous mistake of washing the G11 the other day (Yes, I know... Italian vehicles and water don't mix!) and since then it has had an odd starter issue. I turn the key, press the kill switch to run, press Start and click. I then press kill switch off and on, press Start and it works...

    94 1100 Cali tacho disassembly?

    The tacho has stopped working and the needle rests at about 500rpm. I took it off and a telltale rattle tells me something has broken. Is there any way to open it up and see what's wrong? I couldn't find a way in from underneath.

    1100 California alternator test/removal

    I replaced the reg/rec on this bike last year, and it ran fine for ages, but now it has stopped charging. When I replaced the R/R, it was taking 4000rpm to get a 13.5v charge so I suspect the alternator has popped. Are there any easy ways to test it? If not, how do I remove it to get it...

    Suddenly, a wild deceleration popping appears!

    I was particiating in a slow motorway ride protesting the EU anti-tamper regulations, semi wet conditions, when out of nowhere my G11 started popping on deceleration and hasn't stopped since. I mentioned the semi wet because at the time I thought "Water has gotten in somewhere". But it does...

    Baffled by Bloomin Brake Lights! (1100 Cali 1994... again)

    Boy, does this bike keep me amused! So I decided to move my rear light wiring since it was running right over the top of the fender. BIG mistake. I connected everything up and... no brake lights. I have resistance checked the wiring right from the front brake switch to the light wiring...

    1995 1100 Cali carb overcharging?

    Went out to do the shopping on my ratty old Cali today. Started first time and second time without fault. I shut her off at my second destination and I *thought* I smelt something like electrics burning. Trying to restart her, she wouldnt go. Starter turned, but didnt even try to fire and...

    Still trying to get to the bottom of cold battery problems

    A week ago, I ran my G11 for about 60 miles. Got home, took the fuses out, washed it and put it away. Yesterday, I came to it. 7C and 11.7V on the display. I just put the fuses in and it started just dandy. This is on the stock YUASA battery. It even stood a few restarts because it stopped...

    Quickie - where is G11 Diagnostics plug?

    I must be thick but I have been looking for this for nearly an hour now. Cant find anything on the web about it either. Where is the OBD-II plug? I have a program to reset the TPS but need a lead and want to make sure I'm getting the right one (and that I know where to stick it!).

    Its not only motorbike racers who have huge balls!

    Odd one - anyone got a Stucchi tail tidy?

    I got one of those cool looking Stucchi tail tidies for the Orange Blancmange: (yes I know the pic is crap. And I have a smaller licence plate on order!!!). Anyway.. just decided to wash the bike and... the number plate light isnt working now. When you look at the light, there seems to be...

    TB balance and TPS reset - without Navigator?

    My local engineer reckons he can do throttle body balancing and throttle position sensor resets on the Griso without Navigator/Axone... I thought it could only be done through the electronics? Have I missed something? Is it possible? If so, he is charging £30+ VAT for the lot which is a bargain!

    CARC/Tonti swingarm dimensions & weights

    I was chatting in PM with GuzziMoto about the Griso's sportiness and he mentioned that the Griso is longer than his old Le Mans. Now, I've been thinking (dangerous territory!)... I originally had a bit of 'feel' problem from the back of the Griso which I never had with the Cali. Now while...
