    Griso 1100 - valve cover silicon gasket

    I'm actually surprised to hear that people have problems with the valve cover gasket. I've never even given my gaskets a thought because they've never caused a problem for the 5.5 years I've ridden my Griso (going on 28,000+ miles now). I even check my valve clearances twice a year, and have...

    crank but no start Griso 1100 2007

    Yes I understand the original reason for the TSB. If the filter had been zip tied against the side of the pump, and the long hose/short hose switched, then the weight of the filter full of fuel would not have been pulling down on the short length of tubing, stressing it every time the tank was...

    crank but no start Griso 1100 2007

    Well I was right. Split pressure tube. All that work for a 5 cm-long fuel line. As an aside, whichever tech performed the fuel pump TSB decided to apply some mechanic's wire to hold down the clamp and hose, rather than perform the repair per the TSB. Pics of the split hose and the mechanic's...

    crank but no start Griso 1100 2007

    I'll try to keep this as short as possible. I'm hoping someone else has run into this problem and knows exactly what it is. Quick back story just in case any of it is relevant. I filled the fuel tank last night, rode around a bit, stopped for about 2 hours, and when I turned the bike back on...

    GuzziDiag NOTICE

    My Griso came with the GT-Rx exhaust when I bought it over 5 years ago, and I've added more GT parts since then. I love your stuff and your effort, and I talk about your stuff every time someone asks me about my bike!

    clutch knocking question

    My Griso's been doing this for the 5 years I've owned it (at about 28k miles now). It does annoy me, as it takes away from the otherwise pleasant maniacal cacophony made by this mechanical grizzly bear of an engine (fitted with the gtrx exhaust of course). Talk about reviving a thread from the...

    Careful of Aluminum Dipsticks

    Hmm.. your avatar seems familiar to me. :) Anyway, yea that's why manufacturers use spring steel or plastic.

    Guzzi V7 Classic: before and after.....thanks GuzziTech!

    I'm interested to hear about the improvements.. those suspension upgrades will certainly fix your instability issues, especially considering the front and rear will be sprung and set up for your weight. I'm interested in the differences between the mistral exhaust and todd's own v7 exhaust...

    Black and Chestnut leather seat for 07 Griso

    I had not read that thread until you linked me there. That looks really good too, but I like the overhanging seat on the griso. It's different, which is the whole point to buying a guzzi in the first place.. everything about them is different. He did a great job on his seat mod though, and I'm...

    Cafe racer seat for my G12.

    Very nice job! If a slope is what you wanted, you did it pretty well. I personally think the overhanging seat looks great on the griso, but to each his own. Check here https://www.guzzitech.com/forum/topic.html?f=163&t=9019&view=unread#unread to see my seat job.

    Black and Chestnut leather seat for 07 Griso

    yep, that was a must. The saddle looks MUCH better in person too. The three-panel, two-tone leather gives it a distinctly Italian look. Thanks for all the compliments everybody!

    Black and Chestnut leather seat for 07 Griso

    Here ya go, my new Griso saddle. I picked out the leather, told the upholsterer what I wanted and they made it happen. I maintain the leather with URAD leather conditioner and URAD Mr. Jojo leather weather-proofer. It isn't in these pics, but she also made a strap out of the chestnut leather so...

    Fitting Griso SE brown saddle on 08 Griso 8V

    I've had my saddle at an upholsterer for a few weeks, and should be getting it back today. The center panel on mine IS black leather, and it will be staying. The two side panels and the strap are being replaced with a beautiful dark chestnut leather. I bought some URAD leather conditioner and...

    Fitting Griso SE brown saddle on 08 Griso 8V

    Even the center panel is not leather? boo. I've contacted a local upholsterer that specializes in motorcycle saddles as well (to see if reupholstering my saddle would be cheaper than buying the SE saddle), and I'll be bringing her my saddle tomorrow to find out. I may have her do my seat in the...

    Australian Power Commanders are F@#KED

    sorry to hear that. One thing you might want to try, is call or email dynojet and let them know they are losing customers in Australia because of their distributor there. Dynojet is a very respected company here (USA). Who knows, it might accomplish something. I once ordered several mazda...

    Does Anyone Make a Fender / Tag Eliminator Kit for a Griso

    Re: Does Anyone Make a Fender / Tag Eliminator Kit for a Gri if you buy other aftermarket LEDs that don't include the resistors, you can always buy them and solder them in-line. I made this one. It's fully illuminated by way of license plate bolts with built-in white LEDs. I can give you more...

    Fitting Griso SE brown saddle on 08 Griso 8V

    Please post pics! I was just about to order one of those SE leather saddles from a dealership's website, when I stumbled on this thread. I have an 07 black 1100, and I've always thought it would look great with a brown leather saddle, but now that you've done it.. I wanna see it before I order...

    Leaning towards the Griso

    Since exhaust was brought up, I wholeheartedly recommend Todd's GT-Rx muffler and y-pipe. By far the best sound for the Griso. And welcome!

    Griso REGISTRY & Picture Thread - ADD YOUR BIKE

    Re: Griso Picture Thread A few more changes since the last time I posted in this thread.. painted satin black. I didn't like the polished chrome on this bike, so I gave this piece a brushed look and then clear-coated, then painted the bucket satin black.
