    Looking for G11

    Got a mate here in Bungendore who's looking for a Griso, probably a G11 as his budget won't stretch to an 8V. Any leads on Grisos in Oz appreciated. Pete

    Oh dear.......

    I think I may of convinced myself that I need to trade my Mana GT on one for our trip this summer. Cali 1400 Touring will be a lot more comfortable for Jude than the Mana. We aren't getting any younger............ Pete

    Swapping flat to roller tappets on an 8V in Oz.

    Just did a rough price up for what I *Think* will be all the parts for swapping a flat tappet top end for a roller setup in Oz. $1846.59 PER SIDE!!!!!!!!! No thanks. Pete

    Shock replacement and linkage and swingarm bearing Greasing.

    Bill just sent me an email asking about this as he's planning on swapping his shock on his Griso so I did a little blurb that others may find useful. Although it is Griso specific all the CARC bikes are much the same. Bill, leave it until you get 'Home'. It really isn't that big a job and you...

    New mapping available for early single TB V7's

    New mappings available for some of the earlier single TB V7's. had my first one through today since I found out about it from Steve. Called the importer and apparently its main purpose is to address idle parameters. Perhaps the cold start issue some have noticed but I can't comment on that as...

    Rode it today

    Well a few pics for starters. Its a BIG motorbike. I'm 5'10" and a not small lad so you can guage the size. Rake is enormous! It is STABLE! Tank is metal with covering 'Cowls'. One of the accessories are chromed cowls if you want to out-bling your Harley riding mates! Cries control and...

    Service manual is up on The website.

    Doesn't seem to be complete yet but it would seem that the new tappets are hydraulic as well as being roller type. 7SM ECU same as the V4 Prillas, traction control, cruise control, lots of good shit! Pete

    Freshen up!

    My G12 is now five years old. Despite being as reliable as an anvil but many times more fun felt it was time to 'Freshen Up' the areas that have always been nagging me. Early in the piece I greased the shock linkages and somewhere along the line I greased the swingarm bearings but can't...

    8V heads swap heads up?

    Just to let people know that if they have to swap a head on an 8V the casting has changed slightly and the breather plate on the end of the cam from the 'Old' casting won't fit in the new one. No big deal if you have access to a lathe and can use one, just turn off the stepped flange on the...

    Tuning in NZ.

    Principally for W5AM equipped CARC bikes. I'm in Invercargill for a few days. If any Breva/Norge/Griso owners have been having running problems I'll be more than happy to offer advice and help. I and a few others are doing an engine swap on a Cali but I'll be more than happy to take a break...

    Good news for Guzzi/Aprilia.

    I read on one of the baords I frequent, (I don't think it was this one :roll: ) that because the Euro is in the terlet Aprilia products especially are getting really competitive with Japanese bikes in Europe! Hopefully it will knock-on to Guzzi as well but who would want an R1 or a Gixxer if you...

    Interesting mapping issues.....

    Had a '10 build '11 plated Griso SE yesterday. It wouldn't take the #68s map. Likewise when I re-ecu's a Stelvio a week before it wouldn't upgrade from the #42 map. Thining that this might of been an issue with the latest version of Navigator, (There was a recent upgrade.) I tried plugging it...

    CARC. Further investigations.

    Having a couple of spare hours today I thought I'd investigate further into the so callerd non-rebuildability of the CARC. The good news is that as long as your crownwheel and pinion are OK, (And finding this out for sure will take a bit of work.) the whole unit is completely rebuildable, much...

    Clutch thrust bearing on 8V's

    The factory released a service bulletin a few months back about the thrust bearing on some 8V's most notably early Stelvios and Grisos becomming noisy in service. While no further explanation was really given it was obvious that the bearings were failing in some cases and the sollution was said...

    Just do it! Stop whinging!!!

    For all those who like a good whine about shit that sometimes just happens? Kym, who posts here as 'Contractor' had his big CARC bearing gou out, most likely due to water having got in when it was washed by journalists, (Its an ex-demo.) No worries. I lent him one of my spares while I...

    Oil cooler leak.

    No need to pee your pants. Mine just developed a leak at 50,000Km. No failure, fixed for next to nothing. C&P because its easy for me and I'm a lazy turd! Remember the early Grisos had a problem with the louvres warping on the outside of the radiator element? Well it seems that the way that was...
