    How is the 8v better than the 4v? - or isn't it?

    It's interesting you should say that, as I'm now in the lucky position of NOT having to commute, so not really limiting myself to a bike that's a do it all, everyday kinda bike. Though it will still be my only one and I will be using it as much as possible. :). Thanks for the info regarding...

    How is the 8v better than the 4v? - or isn't it?

    Yes, I've read the same, that many seem to think the 8v is better engineered than the 4v. I've got to say I really liked the 4v I had, and that too was unsurprisingly WAY more refined than the MK2 LeMans I had back in the 80's. There's so much to learn - I keep coming across hints and tips on...

    How is the 8v better than the 4v? - or isn't it?

    I asked this question over on GrisoGhetto, with some very informative answers, so I'm keen to know from folks on here too. I'm in the UK by the way. I joined this forum back in 2015, when I had one of the last 1100's back in 2015 - but sadly only for about 6 months as, for financial reasons (or...

    I got me a Griso, and I love it!

    Hi Peter Well thank you for all that information. You're right about getting stuck in and doing the work myself. Your encouragement has really helped. For some stupid reason I've sort of been treating the Griso with kid gloves and being a bit reserved about tackling any work on it. Which is...

    I got me a Griso, and I love it!

    Hey Bob (I assume your name is Bob?) not done anything to the Griso I'm afraid, apart from wash it and ride it, and not done much of that either to my shame. I really do need to change my life/priorities I'm in the middle of a service, brought on early cause of a leak in the r/h rocker cover. In...

    Creamy oil in R/H rocker cover !!

    Thanks Touringman. I'm going to revert to my old technique of choosing the long way on my daily commute, which should stretch it from 30 mins each way to about 50, with a lot more bends, gear changes etc thrown in . Great to be reassured by you guys, thanks.

    Creamy oil in R/H rocker cover !!

    Great, cheers John. An order for a long hot summer and riding it like I stole it then

    Creamy oil in R/H rocker cover !!

    Thanks John, reassuring to know it could be worse. Yes I'm running 10w60 fully synthetic, Motul. I'll check that hose further but appreciate the tip. Should I change oil then? I'm in the Uk and it's been variable in temp here though nothing extreme. I'll do a search but what's the general...

    Creamy oil in R/H rocker cover !!

    Ok, first time I've tackled any work on my Griso 1100 and I find this creamy white oil inside the cover and on the rockers with a slightly black creamy residue lying in the head Should I be worried? I read that this can be a symptom of an engine not getting hot enough but could there be...

    How to make people aware of our online Store?

    Sadly, I don't think you're going to stop people using your expertise and then buying elsewhere. Personally I think it's very bad form to do that, but it seems to be acceptable practice to some people. As for improving awareness to the shop itself, could you use the space next to the guzzitech...

    I got me a Griso, and I love it!

    like it??.....oh yes! What a gorgeous guzzi. I love those chrome tanks and splitting it chrome and paint as you've done is very nice. Great seat colour too. I was thinking of doing something different with my seat eventually, maybe going brownish with some red piping as part of a slightly retro...

    I got me a Griso, and I love it!

    Thanks Calijackalbob. Sorry for late reply, been working too much and then away watching Moto GP in Valencia I'm pretty sure it's a Skidmarks one. The previous owner bought the bike with it fitted. he had to adjust it as it was rubbing on the tyre on one side, but he's set it up perfectly and it...

    I got me a Griso, and I love it!

    Hi folks. Just introducing myself. I've recently acquired a rather lovely 2009 Griso 1100, and as you can guess, I'm enjpying the beginnings of what I hope will be a long ownership. I've had a VFR750FR (interceptor as its known in The USA I understand) for 14 years, and it's been utterly...
