    I'm embarrassed to ask

    Thanks for your "gentleness" . . . I do have one more follow up. I park my Griso upright in a wheel chock. Should the oil level be checked on the side stand? When it's standing straight up the level cuts across the dipstick at quite an angle as opposed to when it's leaned over. Or am I making...

    I'm embarrassed to ask

    When you check the oil level (Griso 1100) do you screw the dipstick all the way in to get a level or do you just place it back in the filler hole to get a level? I'm having a complete brain fade episode here. . . . Bill Buchanan

    Griso resurrection

    Due to a number of extremely unfortunate circumstances my 2007 Griso 1100 has been sitting in my brother-in-laws basement for almost four months now. For awhile the battery was on a Battery Tender put that was unplugged some time ago (inattentive brother-in-law, urrrrr). It was started up and...

    Saturday Ride

    A short video of my ride today. Nothing fancy just an easy ride north west of the Dallas TX area. I actually was trying out a GoPro HD Hero2. Click on the link below the thumbnail . . . http://vimeo.com/cog2803/saturday-ride

    Givi A755N vs A750

    The A750 has what appear to be some slotted brackets to allow for adjustments. If the A755N has the same hardware as the A750 then I should be able to make minor adjustments for angle. I think I'm going to go with the A755N in a matte black finish. I will post a picture once it's installed.

    Givi A755N vs A750

    So it seems that the Givi A770 is fully discontinued and not available. The next best options seem to be the A755N and the A750. The A755N is 14" high by 18" wide. The A750 is 16" high by 15" wide. Both have smoked screens and are available in matte black and gloss silver (the A750 also comes...

    Griso Torque Specs Double-check

    This link http://www.cncexpo.com/TorqueSpecs.aspx has several good tables for determining the recommened settings for a variety of fasteners of all sizes and "types" i.e. Nm, ft lb, etc.

    2007 Griso low speed snatch

    Three solutions to the issue Least complex - adjust slack out of throttle cables. Still quite easy - remove charcoal canister A little more complex - check TPS and adjust TB sync and balance. For my 2007 Griso - removing the charcoal canister had the most positive results. Bill Buchanan

    Griso Luggage

    I do believe it will fit with the stock pipe - I've got it out in the garage and I can prolly hold it up next to the GR-Rx pipe and see.

    Griso Luggage

    Here's a pic of the Cortech setup on my Griso - the tailbag was bought quite some time ago and the saddlebags were bought last fall - hence the different logos That's the GTR-Rx pipe.

    Griso 8V SE or Multistrada 1200S Touring

    Brilliant suggestion on the Concours 14. I sold a 98 Concours a few years after getting the Griso and have regretted it ever since.

    G11 Headers.

    hmnmmm . . . I actually got a few more of the "liver spots" but on just the left header. It had a few before but I installed the ECU upgrade and a bunch more appeared. However the bike runs better and the "pop" on deceleration with the GT-Rx pipe is gone :) I don't have the PCV or the Autotune...

    Accessory Availability

    I was at an Artist Retreat Thursday thru Sunday at Laity Lodge just north of Leakey. I left Dallas on Wednesday, stayed in Fredericksburg that night and rode over on Thursday. I left Sunday around noon and turned a 6 hour or so ride into 9.5 hours just enjoying the roads :)

    Accessory Availability

    I just got back from an 900 Mile trip to/from the Texas Hill Country. These pictures show the Cortech panniers and tail bag. The tank bag is an old Roadgear that I've had for years. The pipe is the GT-Rx from Guzzi-tech and it all clears nicely

    Clank in the CARC

    Advice well taken - and thanks for the more in depth explanation as to the how and why of it all. A day that one is made wiser is a very good day.

    Clank in the CARC

    I like the way Rule #1 sounds. Out of curiosity then - it's due to there not being a load on the drivetrain?

    Clank in the CARC

    I had the rear wheel suspended the other day doing some cleaning and whatnot. I had cleaned around the speed sensor and wanted to see if it was still operating properly. I started the engine, selected first, released the clutch. As the rear wheel turned, ever so often I would hear a very...

    klanky gear change

    For my 07 1100 about 90% of the driveline snatch disappeared when I removed the charcoal canister. I had the same issue about throttle adjustments in corners and had to really work the clutch and throttle to minimize sudden changes. I can't explain why removing the canister smoothed it out so...

    Throttle body sync?

    Here's my interpretation of the instructions on synchronizing the Throttle Bodies on a Griso - or Breva as most of this came from the Breva 1100 Service Manual available in the download section of the Forum. Throttle body sync - step by step a. Check TPS using VDST or Axone, 4.9 for Griso, or...
