    Tires for my Griso

    Not to say the tires are flat each day, just that a few pounds of pressure lost makes a big difference in feel and handling. Anything under full rated pressure feels "heavy".

    Tires for my Griso

    The one thing left that really bothers me about the Griso, after having fixed the fueling with a PC5, is how the bike handles on the original, stock tires. My Griso is a low use garage queen that only gets out for special stuff. If I don't pump in plenty of air, the bike feels sluggish and...

    '12 Griso throttle response like a hi/low switch

    Ordered and installed the full fueling kit from Todd here on GT. Big shout out to Todd for being really timely in his replies to questions and getting me the supplies. Thanks! Some thoughts on installation from having just done this work: -It's not very difficult to do mechanically as long as...

    '12 Griso throttle response like a hi/low switch

    Yeah, drivability and powerband are the right terms. Anything under 3k RPM is pretty awful and I want to downshift to get away from it. Above 4k, right at that point, engine runs like a different beast, almost a shock at how much better it is, to the point of being a little scary. Reason I'm...

    '12 Griso throttle response like a hi/low switch

    I thought that's what people would say, do the GuzziTech fueling mods and be good. What I'm questioning is: is it systemic. Are all bikes from the era like this? Also, I ran my VIN at the Piaggio site and came up with a connecting rod recall but nothing to do with tappets. Is there a source for...

    '12 Griso throttle response like a hi/low switch

    '12 Griso is my garage queen. I bought it new and keep it safe in the garage most of the time but now it has 700 miles and I had the first service done. TL;DR: why does the Griso have a crazy throttle response at 4k and what can I do to fix it? Since the beginning, the Griso has had a weird...

    Battery terminal corrosion mess

    I just pulled the battery from my '12 Griso and found this mess. I'm using a yellow foam spray from O'Reily to clean it up and it appears that the terminal (negative) is bare copper. The positive terminal looks great. Now that I have it all apart, any thoughts on best practice here? Should I...

    Ran the hills this weekend- now drive line noise

    Oh, yeah, it's had that problem too, which was really minor the first time- just back the screws out and re-LockTite them into place. On this trip I actually lost the screw from the right side front bit of britework, so took it off at a gas station to kill the rattle. It's in the side case now...

    Ran the hills this weekend- now drive line noise

    I ran with a group of guys thru Yosemite this weekend on my '14 C1400 Touring. The bike has 3k miles on it now. Two issues cropped up during this trip that I'm hoping to get some more owner's perspective on. The most concerning is the noise coming from the drive line. Best I can do to describe...
