    Griso turn signals/blinkers replacement rants

    Recently I replaced the rear signals due to broken rubber stem/stalk. I thought it was a straight forward job. Surprise #1 My fault actually. I assumed both harness end connectors are the same type but the Pontedera designers had thoughtfully designed male and female pins for Sinistra and...

    Oil cooler inlet/outlet orientation

    This has been bothering me for a while. The Griso/Stelvio/Breva oil cooler has the feed and return line at the bottom. Unless there is a check valve in the circuit and the cooler is factory air bled, I reckoned air will be trapped in the upper rows of the oil cooler during normal operation...

    Colours of apple

    This has bothered me from time to time ever since I ate my first apple. I have tried asking around for the past 30 years but never get a definite answer. My question: Are green apples and red apples from the same tree before they are harvested and sent to the supermarket? In another words...

    Deciphering Griso 8V VIN

    Based on what I know (could be wrong) ZGU = WMI (World Manufacturer Identifier) = Guzzi LS = Griso 000 = Version variant (could be alphabets and numbers) 0 = free digit (value from 0 to 9) Y = Year of manufacturing (please refer to the table below) M = Production Plant, M = Mandello del Lario...

    Air Box inspection and such

    While I was doing the quarterly battery tray inspection/cleaning today (my battery leaks a little, that’s another story), I took a peek at the air box and snapped some photos to share with you guys. Last air box inspection was done at 10,000km (6250miles) ago when the bike has 2000km...

    Sluggish start button/switch

    Bike: 2009 G8V Mileage: 11,500 km (~7200 miles) I thumbed the start button after the usual lights show subsided and it went dead silent. No relay clicking, no starter solenoid thumping and of course no starter motor spinning. I knew it wasn’t Fuse B (Fuse blows out repeatedly – Griso 8V) as it...

    I am no longer an idiot

    I quote what Pete said: I received it today and it is a Version 8.0 I really appreciate Moto International’s kindness of sending the Guzziology to the Far East where intellectual property rights are taken less seriously. No, it won’t appear on the ebay tomorrow nor it will be translated...

    Engine oil level

    I check the engine oil level of my 2009 G8V every 1000km (625miles). The oil level stays at the same spot on the dipstick every time I check it. I change the engine oil every 5000km (3125miles) and the oil level didn’t drop at all between changes. My old BMW R1150R would consume a liter (1...

    Battery cable terminals orientation – Mad Hatta!’s bike

    While drooling at the photos of your Griso in the Griso Picture Thread :woohoo: , I noticed the orientation of your bike's battery cable terminals is different from mine and the one in workshop manual. I know there are no hard and fast rules on how you should place the terminals as long as it...

    Griso SE rim

    While watching a Guzzi youtube video clip, I spotted something interesting. (5:35 minutes) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ItpX83uZOs The rim of the Griso 8V SE in the video has an EXCEL rim at the rear wheel. My 2009 Griso 8V SE has BEHR rims. I wonder why Guzzi get parts from 2 different...

    My 2009 G8VSE odometer is approaching 10,000km (6250miles) and it is about time for the first fork oil change. This will be my first inverted fork oil change though I am experience in the right-side-up fork oil change. I have got all the necessary tools ready and went through the service manual...

    Cager engine oil consumption

    My 2004 Hyundai Getz 1.3 is a little long in the tooth now, it has clocked 240,000km(150,000miles) since new. It uses very little, almost none engine oil (5W40 fully synthetic) between oil changes since new (every 10,000km/6250mile) until about a year ago when the engine past the...

    Griso front fender/mudguard removal

    I just got a fenda extenda from Pyramid Plastic. I was thinking to remove the fender from the bike so that I can drill some holes for allen head bolts and nyloc nuts (I don’t like the self tapping screws that came with the kit) and seal the fender-fenda gap with sealant. I have tried to free...

    I just came back from a ride, bike (Griso SE) has 1700km on the odometer. When I stopped to fill it up at the gas station, I noticed some fluid around the cover of the clutch master cylinder. Amazingly none has dripped on the painted body panels… pheeew.. :sick: When I took off the reservoir...

    Hose and such

    I have this open ended hose dangling at the left throttle body area, is it normal? While cleaning my bike for the very first time on Sunday, I found a black rubber hose wedged between the right frame tube and the battery, possibly pinching it. It looks like a tank vent hose to me. I have...
