    E5 V85TT Running issues

    Thanks a lot for this post Gerry. Two days ago this happened to my 2021 E5 V85TT, after 16000km. Your post helped me to fix it. When I restarted the engine after short ride, the noise was suddenly bad and the bike was immediately in limp mode, briefly showed "Urgent Service Alarm" or something...

    Luggage and Tail Rack Picture request

    This is the critical issue with the tail rack, it needs holes which I didn't want to make. The sides are attach to the places where are easy-to-remove hole covers just behind the mesh under the saddle. 4-points attachment. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mattinaskali/4000546030/in/photostream/

    What controls the idle at start up?

    Hi My bike is Griso Quattro Valvole and it does exactly the same. I saw with VDSTS that soon after a cold start the stepper motor run to maximum limit, that is 200, and yet the idle stayed too low, like 700rpm or so. Looked like the bike couldn't turn the idle air open enough. So I opened the...

    Intermittent Firing on Single Cylinder

    This is how NGK X4K spark plug cable & cap set fit to Quattro Valvole http://www.flickr.com/photos/mattinaskali/3947586024/in/set-72157622306305523/ Another benefit, is that these caps don't have extra 5k ohm resistance. V8 spark plugs already have resistors. I think 10k ohms is just too...

    Strange sound coming from LH cylinder head 8V

    Sounds very logical. If ever the chain tensioner caused the noise what would make it so rythmic? Just one comment, kind of old again: The right tensioner looks easy to change, or check, but the left one is under the chain and needs that to be removed first.

    Strange sound coming from LH cylinder head 8V

    Klaas, in your case the noise is so rhythmic, that it has to be connected to some mathematical ratio, like the length of the chain and the size of either the gear at cam shaft or at auxiliary shaft. But I don't understand how:-) The gears don't suddenly become elliptic, nor should he chain be...

    Strange sound coming from LH cylinder head 8V

    I have the problem Pete described: my Griso was perfect until first service. I am afraid that the wrong oil (most expensive motorcycle oil) the shop used somehow made the chain tightener to operate poorly. I hate the importer causing costs to the factory by changing cam shafts and cam shafts. It...

    Strange sound coming from LH cylinder head 8V

    I have the same noise. Had it very bad, and the Japanese importer changed left cylinder, cylinder hear, cam shaft, chain tensioner, everything that comes with cylinder and the head. That was at about 7000km. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mattinaskali/4000172418/ I didn't like the change, because...

    Pazzo Levers on Griso

    I think it is not enough to change the lever, but needs either smaller diameter master cylinder or new lever and turning point system (whole system) with geometry that has shorter leverage, the distance from the rotating pin to the push pin. I think original cylinder is 19mm, hard to measure...

    ANY IDEAS?

    Could the noise be this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mattinaskali/4000172418/ I wonder if in your first service they changed to your Stelvio motorcycle oil instead of racing car oil? Because Guzzi has dry clutch, I think it would be better to use oil without fricktion additive. If I can swap...

    Rough Riding Griso 8v - Help!

    Hi Nick, I hope your Griso is fine by now. Just noticed the discussion today. As Pete suggest, it is good to check the plug caps and cables. Last week my Griso had problems, one cylinder stopped every now and then. Problem was the spark. Worst was when it didn't start at all until...
