    ECU unplugged

    Makes sense, thanks.

    ECU unplugged

    However, is not a service light error, is only red triangle ECU and then an unplugged digital image. Hope the cleaner does the job :)

    ECU unplugged

    Maybe inline with this topic. Literally loading my 09 Stelvio on the trailer towing up to Asheville to ride for a week around Nanatahala, Hot Springs and Roan Mtn. Turn the key and see red triangle and ECU alert on dashboard. Bike was fine 10 mins before so jumped on the forums and determined...

    Stelvio Red Triangle & ECU ‘Unplugged’ Dashboard Alert – Found Short – How To Repair?

    Literally loading my 09 Stelvio on the trailer towing up to Asheville to ride for a week around Nanatahala, Hot Springs and Roan Mtn. Turn the key and see red triangle and ECU alert on dashboard. Bike was fine 10 mins before so jumped on the forums and determined might be a loose wire or...

    Rough Idle & Ignition Firing When Warm - Sparkplug Cap Replacement Not So Good Idea

    Next Guzzi dealer is 6 hours 1 way, so need to have faith in my local, 3 hours 1 way, dealer. But you are right, very frustrating. My bad in not taking it for a ride when there......coulda, woulda, shoulda.

    Rough Idle & Ignition Firing When Warm - Sparkplug Cap Replacement Not So Good Idea

    Agreed with all comments. Ordered and received new OEM leads and caps. Will install this weekend and then see if the issue is resolved. The service manager told me when I picked up the bike that when the mechanic was trying to pull the stock caps off, took alot of muscle. So when I got home (3...

    Rough Idle & Ignition Firing When Warm - Sparkplug Cap Replacement Not So Good Idea

    With Todd's 100% help, I installed the full monty of PC5/AT and ECU reflash 2 years ago. Bike ran/runs perfect, much better than stock (2009). However, I am having some idling issues after the bike has been run for a few miles and even on the throttle is not running 'clean'. I have decided to go...

    Exhaust Choices For The Stelvio - List Of Options - Which Is Best?

    There are several on eBay. I tried the Agostini but the sound was identical to stock and for the price did not make sense to me. I opted for the stainless GPR can. Love the sound but is the non-cat version. They have the same with a cat here...

    Exhaust Choices For The Stelvio - List Of Options - Which Is Best?

    Doubtful any exhaust with the Cat installed will make any changes to the stock power delivery of the bike. Even exhausts w/o the Cat have minimal effect, if any, to increasing torque or horsepower. And if you go with an exhaust w/o the cat, which will save about weight, you will need a new map...

    V7 special dying at idle (and other issues)

    How do I test the charging system (alternator) at the battery?

    Left stranded - Battery not getting charged?

    Thank you for the response. I have aux lights but added months ago and are routed through the handlebar switch. They are only 10w LED's so do not think they are the issue. The bike only has 2500 miles so hoping is not the alternator. I will check all fuses today. There are some under the seat...

    Left stranded - Battery not getting charged?

    I see a 30 amp fuse under the seat but no fuses under the right side triangle plastic cover under the seat. Must be in a different location for the 09 models?

    Left stranded - Battery not getting charged?

    Hi, I went for a ride yesterday on a 2009 Stelvio, 2,950 miles. All good but 1.5 hours from home the bike started stumbling, dash went nuts and I putted to a stop. I bought the bike new in 2014 as a left over, great deal, but thinking the battery was as old so I thumbed up to a NAPA dealer and...

    Exhaust Choices For The Stelvio - List Of Options - Which Is Best?

    Been awhile since I updated my final choice. Tried the Angostini, either too quiet with the DB in or too loud with it out. Went with the GPR and could not be happier and saved $. Todd did a reflash and with the PC5 and AT averaging 41+ mpg. Pic is from a 5 day camp trip up in the Pesgah Mtns...

    2009 Stelvio - Heidenau K60's - Camping - Pisgah Mountains

    Yes, exactly. Is a great ride and the 'dirt' section is well groomed as think the locals go that way as well. I did find gravel suspiciously placed in some of the corners on the pavement so be cautious. The switchbacks on the road are really tight in places and with a good grade, felt like I...

    2009 Stelvio - Heidenau K60's - Camping - Pisgah Mountains

    Took a break last week and did just under 1,000 miles in the mountains. Towed the bike up to Greenville and then just rode and camped all through Gatlinburgh, Unicoi, Pisgah, some amazing rides and fire roads. Plotted all on Google Maps using lat/long and entered coordinates in GPS. Believe...

    Heidenau K60 Scout 170/60 two inches taller than stock tires - why?!?

    Hi, I purchased Heidenau K60's and the front is an exact fit, 110/90. The closest for the rear is a 170/60 or 150/70. I went with the 170 as it maintained the width and using a few online tire calculators the difference should be negligible. I have Avon Distancia's on the bike now. However...

    transmission vs. carc oil

    Called my dealer, the closest is 3 hours north but a great shop, Matthews Fun Machines in Matthews, NC, beyond helpful. Anyway, at 3k miles on a 2009 just this week, (bought new in 2014), decided to change all fluids even though were done at the 600 mile mark per the manual by the dealer. Was...
