    Consortium for on-board computer protocols

    Hi, Does anyone know if there exists some sort of consortium that is responsible for the definition and regulation of codes, commands, messages, etc. that a motorcycle's on-board computer must implement? My understanding from reading about diagnostics software is that these programs support...

    too cold to start griso?

    Hi Mando, Where are you located? Toronto? ipo

    too cold to start griso?

    Finally I was able to look into this issue and solve it thanks to your help. I ended up buying a new battery and the bike started right up. There's one thing I do not understand, though. If I put the battery on the floor and use jumper cables to connect it to the bike, it won't start. It was...

    too cold to start griso?

    Thank you everyone for the replies. My apologies for being so late responding but my health has not been the best. I will wait until the weather warms up a little and I will try all of your suggestions; I will post back what I find out. Thank you all once again. ipo

    too cold to start griso?

    I tried both suggestions and still no go. I cleaned the battery terminals and checked its charge with a meter and everything looks ok. However when I press the ignition button I still get this medium-loud click.

    too cold to start griso?

    Hi everyone, we've had 3 very cold days (-15C) and my griso won't start. The battery is ok (all lights come on) but when I hit the ignition switch I get a short clunk from the engine followed by the typical gas pump noise. I rode the bike about 10 days ago and all was normal then, so I am...

    where is the oil?

    I was actually afraid to start the engine since the oil level was well above the MAX mark. What I did instead was to remove 800cc of oil and then began to add it back from a new bottle in 100cc increments until I got it to a reasonable level. I then started the engine for a minute or so to give...

    where is the oil?

    Ok, so that's what I'll do, drain some of the new oil and go by the dipstick measurement. Thanks a lot everyone.

    where is the oil?

    I've done everything by the book including your advice on keeping the bike upright and not screwing in the dipstick. I used 2 different dipsticks, the one that came with the bike and one that I bought from one of you which is easier to read, and both indicate overflow. I was just speaking with...

    where is the oil?

    Hi everyone, I just finished reading the post "Bellagio engine oil level" but I'm still confused. I have a 2007 Griso 1100 with a capacity of 3600cc (219 cu inches) of engine oil and this is what I did: 1. I checked the oil level with the dipstick and found it to be at the MIN mark. 2. Instead...

    New Canadian Moto guzzi dealer in Toronto

    I think we should give BMW a chance. I went to the dealership on two occasions over the last three weeks and spoke with Tim and Paul. Both were very enthusiastic about carrying Moto Guzzi and both could've tried to sell me one of theirs (I'm looking for a second bike) but didn't. My first and...

    broke transmission breather plug

    Hi John, I broke the small breather plug which sits on the top section of the transmission cage just under where the swing arm meets the cage. I followed your advice and I took the bike to my mechanic this morning and he was able to remove the broken section of the breather plug in a few...

    broke transmission breather plug

    If I understand correctly I can try the extractor tool using the procedure that you are recommending. However, I do not understand what you mean by "Under no circumstance try to remove the vent in the CARC, it will break"

    broke transmission breather plug

    Hello everyone. I hope you can lend me hand. I don't know how I can be so stupid but I broke the breather plug situated on top of the transmission cage of my 2007 Griso. The good news is that the cage is intact. The bad news is that half of the plug is still screwed in. After some thought and...

    Riding conditions in Canada

    The 401 (ie. The King's Highway 401) is the busiest in North America and among the busiest in the world. Traffic gets very crazy most of the time and watch out for all types of trucks. The official speed limit is 100Km/h but you'll find that traffic flows more like 120Km/h with the occasional...

    clutch screach... brake chatter

    Pete, this is not what Vivo is talking about. All of us owning Grisos are familiar with the ringing noise coming from the clutch when the lever is in and the bike at a stop. The noise we're speaking of takes place when one releases the clutch lever slowly as one begins to roll from a stop.

    Cracked exhaust, and wtf!?

    Re:Cracked exhaust bracket, ant WTF? Moto Guzzi will take these recalls seriously if one writes to the Department of Transportation. Look among the first few pages of your bike's manual (it's on page 14 for the Griso). it reads: "If you think that your vehicle may have a defect that could...

    fuel supply questions

    From a sitting position there is, as you said, a small hole under the cap which is connected to the left outlet from the inside of the fuel tank. On the outside, a breather hose is connected to the same outlet and it is open at the other end, so this explains what you were saying about...

    fuel supply questions

    When you say that "the drain line should not go to the canister...", do you mean that that line does not attach to the right outlet or that, in your opinion, it should not attach to the right outlet?
