    Transponder key (Griso etc.)

    Just a warning for those with these keys (see Photo) Don't use them for digging an item out of your tyre, as a screw driver or anything else that they are not designed for. The tip is fragile and when it breaks off the key is useless and an won't go into the ignition lock, no spare key and you...

    New CALI in the flesh in OZ

    I was riding with some of the guys from the New South Wales Guzzi club on Saturday when we came across a new California at Robertson south of Sydney. One of the local JSG guys (Guzzi/Aprilia importer) was putting some miles on the bike before it goes on the press fleet, 2 were specially flown in...

    Griso convertible

    Just back from a 2000 km long weekend to the Spaghetti Rally in Victoria from Sydney via the Alps. Great roads and scenery, even better weather. Back home after the trip. After 15 mins work back to normal, now to clean the bike after what one if my riding mates referred to as Bug...

    Skidmarx Hugger (CARC bikes) Bad news then GOOD

    Riding 2 weekends ago on some of the goat tracks our government calls roads when I heard a rattle I’d never noted before. Stopped and had a look and found this: I removed the hugger and strapped it to the back of the bike and rode home. I emailed Skidmarx in England to see if I could buy a...

    H&B C-bow bags more pillion room

    Posting this as it might be useful for others. Used on my Griso but should be ok in other applications. Needed a bit more legroom when carrying my wife as pillion with H&B C-bow bags fitted. Neither of us are big and my wife can fit ok with the standard mounts for the H&B soft bags but her...

    My GRISO Clutch Problem

    I have had an ongoing issue with the clutch on my Griso since I bought it, in that the operation intermittently ranged from good to poor with the result that the extremely good gearshift I had heard of for this model had rarely been evident. After a number of attempts fiddling with the master...

    Hepco Becker C-Bow and Bags

    All, Looking at some Hepco Becker bags for my Griso with the C-Bow mounting system. With the OZ dollar still in pretty good shape they are reasonably priced and and look to be a good option. I don't want anything massive and from what I can see they appear simple to use with the rack system...

    GRISO 8v Bars my solution (a bit long winded).

    Being of a compact design and construction, ok I’m a short arse, the stretch to my Griso 8v bars has not been ideal. Having looked at the various options I decided to stick with the stock bar and tailor it to better suit my needs. I do like the leverage provided by the wide bar. My first...

    BECKER bike stands etc. in OZ

    OZ and Kiwi colleagues I recently bought a work stand for my Griso. I initially ordered a Becker stand from their EURO website - http://www.becker-technik.de but was referred to their local distributor in Victoria by Simon Becker. I received an email from Winfried Becker who I assume is a...

    KEIS or EXO2 Heated Vest - Any opinions or Experience

    Has anyone tried the current versions of the KEIS or EXO2 heated vests. Both of these appeal as they can also be used on or off the bike by utilising a rechargeable battery. I should probably throw in the current Gerbing product as well but I'm not sure if they have the portable battery option...

    Best reason to NOT remove Tip Over Switch

    Let me set the scene - Sunday 15th of May, 8.20 AM Stopped at traffic lights at Berowra Waters Rd turning south on to Pacific Hwy. (Sydney) Running late for an appointment? Lights change to green so I gun it and promptly low side as the back lets go half way through the intersection, find my...

    Bike Insurance SPAM

    My fellow OZ Guzzi owners Let me declare my personal interest in this subject. I work for IAG which is a company that owns the NRMA Insurance brand but I have nothing to do with sales and will receive no personal benefit. The point of this post is to let people know that NRMA Insurance has...

    Griso Spark Plugs

    Noticed in all of the manuals I have read for the 8v engine that it states that the plugs should be replaced at 10,000 km. In my prior automotive experience this seems unusual or has it been lost in translation from the original Italian and should mean check every 10,000 km. Replacing 2 plugs...
