    Is this a main oil seal leak?

    Hybal, so was the end problem a leak from the rear main seal, or from one of the welch/sump plugs as per your picture?

    Is this a main oil seal leak?

    Hybal. Sorry for the belated reply. The leak on my bike is very slow. In fact, only once has there ever been a drop of oil on the garage floor from mine. Its just the rear sump area getting damp with oil, and you can see half a droplet forming which takes several weeks to appear after I clean...

    Is this a main oil seal leak?

    OK guys, going to do some thread mining here........my '14 Griso 8V has an oil leak in exactly the same place as the pics in the OP. The bike is only 12 months old, and with only around 3,000kms on it. It's still under warranty, so I'll be taking it back to the dealers fairly soon. I was hoping...

    That Guzzi 1st Gear Clunk.....and how to avoid it.

    Ladies & gents, I realise that this may have been addressed in previous threads some years ago, but I wanted to raise this again for the benefit of more recent Guzzi owners. My own 2014 Griso which I've owned for 7 or 8 months now has always exhibited that characteristic "clunk" when engaging...

    Tyres for Griso

    Started out using 36psi and 40 psi respectively on my Griso (front / rear). Recently backed those pressures off to 33 and 37 and found the whole bike much more compliant, and grip is unaffected. Worth trying for city use. In the country on faster roads, perhaps I'd bump those up to 34 and 38...

    Griso Suspension Settings For Fat Geeza's

    I'd be thrilled to get fuel consumption for my 2014 Griso into the mid 5s. Mid to high 6s is my average, and I'm not a hard rider either. Mine is stock aside from Termi pipe (db killer in). Brent.

    Headers- Get Back That Showroom Shine

    I have a 2014 Griso and made the mistake of allowing some synthetic detailing mist to accidentally settle on the headers. Didn't notice it until the next time I started the bike........immediate and horrible liver spotting where each droplet of spray had settled on the pipes. Ended up buying an...

    Termignoni - pop & crackle?

    Thanks for all the replies on this so far. Some great info for me to consider. Safe riding everyone.

    Termignoni - pop & crackle?

    GuzziMoto, thanks for your advice. However, at the risk of sounding like a total novice, what do you mean by "properly set up"? The bike is new. Its had its first service. The valves have been adjusted, and the throttle bodies balanced (supposedly). The exhaust leak around the crossover pipe has...

    Termignoni - pop & crackle?

    Thanks Todd. I'm not against the idea of throwing some money at the bike with ECU tuning etc, but whilst the bike is in its warranty period, this can make things a little awkward. I have to admit a degree of disappointment though that the Termi has these traits when it's listed as an 'approved'...

    Termignoni - pop & crackle?

    Ok, an update. Bike back from the dealer. Poorly threaded bolt that clamps the crossover onto the header pipes was apparently the issue. All tightened up now, and I can't seem to feel any air leaks now around the gasket. Riding home, no issues for the first 30 mins or so, but sure enough, the...

    Termignoni - pop & crackle?

    Update on the above.......I may have found the culprit. I've noticed a leak in the exhaust, where the header pipes join a crossover pipe, down roughly in front of the gear shift. At idle I can actually feel a pulsing of air around the gasket. On both pipes. Is this possibly causing the crackling...

    Termignoni - pop & crackle?

    Todd, thanks very much for your informative reply. I actually did a fair amount of research before choosing the termi, and this site was one of the most useful for info, so thank you. However, most of the info I found related to the need to retain the baffle, and in doing so, I was under the...

    Termignoni - pop & crackle?

    Hi all. Just back from a 3 day ride through the mountains on my '14 Griso. The bike has a Termi pipe which I had fitted with the 1st service. It has the baffle left in, given I had read plenty of stories about how important it is to have the correct resistance in the pipes for the 4 v engine...

    Updated Griso parts?

    Had the front tyre go flat on my new 2014 Griso only recently. Bike had less than 1,000kms on it. Reason was that one of the spokes had loosened, and the o-ring in the rim wasn't sealing. When I tried pumping it up again I could hear the air leaking out. Yep, it was that bad. Dealer tightened...

    Griso Fuel Cap leak

    Will, you make a good point, but the tank is now 'breathing' fine, as there's no pressure in it when I open the cap. Previously, there'd be a big woosh of pressure when I opened the cap, so it was certainly sealing very well before (i.e. when the breather pipe was blocked). So, I've assumed that...

    Griso Fuel Cap leak

    Hi all. Had the 2014 Griso in for its first service recently, and as part of that I had the fuel tank breather tubes checked, as I was getting pressurisation in the tank. Now there's no pressure build up, but I can smell fuel anytime the bike is stopped. Checked the cap and it's definitely...

    Griso Suspension settings thread!

    Fair point GuzziMoto. Suppose it's just an issue of convenience........the screw adjusters are easy for us to mess around with by using little more than a screwdriver, whereas to adjust sag I ideally need to find a motorbike shop who know what they're doing, put the bike on a stand etc. Will...

    Griso Suspension settings thread!

    OK, had the first ever play with the suspension on the Griso over the weekend. I tried the 1/4 turn out on compression (front) that many others suggest, but found it rock hard. Ended up staying with the 1 turn out (stock) setting. So, whilst my settings are quite different to what others have...

    Griso Suspension settings thread!

    Figaro, thanks for the reply. Agree that it's a subjective matter. For me, the spring rates feel ok if not a bit stiff, especially at the rear. Riding 2 up could well change that, as many have said that the rear spring is too soft if you are a err, "heavier" rider. Would only get worse with a...
