    Any advice here on how to flat out eliminate handlebar vibration and buzzing? There is a severe handlebar buzzing - on the right/throttle side - all normal highway speeds at ~4k rpm. Of course, the mirrors look like they're going to rattle off. Goal is to completely eliminate buzzing and...

    Griso Gas Tank Connections Question

    Out of extreme caution and to double check, does the hose in the below image connect to the rear of the gas tank? And I image the right side "stem" I have a 2007 1100 Griso. The manual doesn't depict [with great confidence] the connections to my actual tank. My tank has two stems/outlets...

    Hello Bulldog9 - I am in Arlington. Lucky you that you're there in WA. Great riding up there. All worked out! Thank you. Took a couple of goes, but I got it. Issue was wrong TDC, leading to a rod getting loose and valve getting bent, leading to no compression, leading to me taking of head...

    Buzzing Vibration in Footpegs / Footrest in 1100 - New Map?

    Hello - I have an incredibly annoying buzzing vibration in my footpegs. Makes an otherwise enjoyable ride, annoying. My goal is to have the smoothest-as-possible ride. 2007 Griso 1100, "older" engine from this model of Griso. Completely Stock. Background: Similar buzz in both handlebar grips...

    Thanks Bill. I will take another look. A cursory google search shows that a ill-fitted pipe could be a culprit in motorcycles writ large.

    Help please w Valve Adjustment on 2007 Griso

    Thanks again, John. I'll go back to .1 mm and .15. (in/ex, respectively), per yours and manual's suggestion. A couple people earlier in this thread suggested setting to .1mm , .20mm (in/ex, respectively) Appreciate your time on this.

    All - Thank you very much for your help. Update: Got it working - but there is a noticeable clicking noise in the left and problematic cylinder. Valve gaps set to: IN: .15mm EX: .20mm To recap: Busted an exhaust valve. Took off head and replaced intake and exhaust valves (AF1 Racing really...

    Do replacement head gaskets come in a combined / attached pack?

    Simple enough exercise: Putting on a new head gasket. 2007 MG Griso. Only on one cylinder, so I simply need one head gasket. Purchased a replacement part (part no: 967087), but in looking at the new replacement gasket: A) Looks rather thick, with three layers. B) One of these layers seem as...

    Exactly. Slow is smooth; smooth is fast. To finish first you must first finish. Ya think I'm OK on timing chain? (with the info you gathered from this thread)

    Help please w Valve Adjustment on 2007 Griso

    Thanks All - As I thought more about it and previously recall incorrectly finding TDC and tried to crank, the rocker rod got stuck under the rocker arm. Thereby compressing the spring and keeping valve open. Engine seized and began entire process again. If that's the cause, the piston is still...

    Help please w Valve Adjustment on 2007 Griso

    True. Def two problems right now. Bent valve and how it got bent. Will check out tensioner and chain while the valve & head are getting fixed. Thanks for that as have been trying to figure out the real root cause.

    Help please w Valve Adjustment on 2007 Griso

    Thank you, John. Already contacted SBI. To clarify - If the valve guide is damaged, do I [or a shop] need to take it out, and bore out a new hole? Or are you saying that a K-Liner can be inserted into the old & damaged guide so as to make a good 'track'? Regardless of whether the old guide is...

    Help please w Valve Adjustment on 2007 Griso

    Thanks, Guys. Yes - It was a bent ex valve (100% Clear in looking into exhaust with the pipe out). Took off tank, head, and rockers. Removed valve (with specialty clamp). Clearly bent valve. Will purchase new intake & exhaust valves, new rocker rods, and new o-rings for valves and rockers...

    Help please w Valve Adjustment on 2007 Griso

    Update: Engine was running on one cylinder. (Hence lawn mower low sound). No compression on left side, due to bent exhaust valve. While now obvious to test I: (a) Checked both coils & spark plugs by resting the connected and threaded plug resting on valve cover and looking for a spark. OK...
