    While my CARC gently weeps...

    Hi all, It has been some time, I know. I have an early (2008) 8v Griso that I love riding, but has been nothing but problems. I have been struggling with CARC issues for a while now, on multiple units. I have two CARCs that I seem to keep swapping for service. I now have my original one back...

    Rolos solutions in Los Angeles is shady.

    OK, just to back up, I hit a missing chunk of asphault in a right hand turn at about 65-70mph and damaged both my front and rear rims. After doing some research, i decided that repairing was the best option, and I took it to Rolos solutions in Los Angeles. I stripped the wheels of everything but...

    hit a MASSIVE pothole at speed. damage, need advice

    so i hit what was (apparently, i never even saw it) pothole at about 65-70 tonight in the midst of a right hand bank on the freeway, which hit so violently it knocked my mirrors loose and actually knocked me off my seat. Both rims are severely bent at the sight of the impact, pulling the edge of...

    I just got my first warranty repair!

    So after months of fighting with MGNA and going back and forth between them and pro italia, I HAVE A NEW CARC! This was repaired OUT OF WARRANTY. But man, those guys are a pain in the ass. I think the guys at proitalia were about ready to shoot me too. My bike was taking up space in their bay...

    Going to throw my bike off a cliff again SOLUTION (kind of)

    It's the preload nut in my carc The apes at the factory locked the tab washer to the preload nut, but never bothered to tighten the nut first. I can wiggle it around slightly, since the tab and the nut aren't a perfect fit. So, my carc is probably toast. That is clearly a factory defect, but...

    Going to throw my bike off a cliff again UPDATE

    So, this whine has gotten real bad, and i got somebody to ride next to me on a bicycle to see if they could locate where the sound was coming from. They did. It appears to be coming from my swingarm, or the carc. So, I went to change the carc oil to see if i could see anything unusual in...

    Going to throw my bike off a cliff again

    Hello ladies and gents! So after taking apart my dash board 5 MORE TIMES, i solved the crashing problem. There was nothing wrong, but the problems have stopped. But now onto something more serious. About a week ago (just after changing my oil at 21k miles) i turned on the ignition and...

    Mystery oil leak

    So a few weeks ago, my rocker box gasket tore (which is odd, since all the bolts were tight) and i started leaking oil. No big deal, fixed. Today, i am on a ride, and i notice another leak. Same cylinder, (left) but i cant figure out where it's coming from. It shows up on the fins near the...

    Need new headlight for my griso!

    Put a rock through my headlight, apparently. It seems a replacement is a BUNCH of money, looking for alternatives. Any good ideas?

    The nerd in me has reared it's head again

    So i read once that motorcycle news clocked a stock G11, with a 180 lb/ish rider, 0-60 in 3.9s, i think it was. In real world terms, that sounds reasonable. Slow for a bike, but gives a carrera a run for it's money. But i got to thinking. 70 hp at the rear wheel, how is this possible, from a...

    Tail Tidys available again

    For those of you who wanted a tail tidy but i didn't have any left, you are in luck. The new ones use two bolts to hold them onto the frame as opposed to 4 bolts in the original design, thanks to a shortage of available material. I still back them 100% as always, just know that they are...
