    Left hand grip moving.

    My left hand handlebar grip is moving about 2mm,which I find annoying (call me OCD).I notice the grip is on a black plastic inner tube around the actual handlebar.Is it possible to glue this to the bar,or is this a bad idea? Any alternative solutions?

    Suspension Auto and Manual

    My manual is not very informative on the differences between the manual and auto suspension set up on the S model.When in manual,is the suspension still semi active,or are the settings constant? In other words when in a manual setting,does the suspension still automatically adjust the damping...

    S model suspension set up.

    Hi, I have looked in my manual and there is no mention of how to go into the menu and alter the damping settings on my S model.I would like to make the rain mode a custom set up with much softer settings than standard.Anyone know how this is done please?

    Hazard lights.

    Anyone know why there are no hazard lights on the V100? I thought it would be a legal requirement these days.This is the only bike I have had in recent years that seems to not have them.

    Running rich?

    Checked my oil level today (it was fine),and noticed it smelt of petrol.Also the silencer outlets were a bit sooty.Do these bikes run a bit rich,or is it just mine?Will be going for its first service soon,so will mention it then.Bike runs fine,and is getting 50mpg (imperial).

    Exhaust fracture

    I do not want to panic people,but a few people on a F.B. V100 site seem to have suffered a fracture of the exhaust system,just behind the cat where it meet the silencer.Seems to be related to expansion and vibration,and occuring after a few thousand miles.Is there any way to prevent this,as it...

    V100 Idle Adjustment

    Is it possible for me to adjust the idle speed on my V100,or is it a dealer job? I would like to lower the idle to maybe 1200 rpm,as I think this might ease the clunk when changing into first gear.

    V100 dashboard USB socket.

    Has anyone fitted the Guzzi auxilliary USB socket in the dashboard,and if so how easy was it? Does the blanking plug just pull out,and how easy was it to find the connector? Not connected to this question,but is the bang when going into first gear going to be harmfull to the bike longterm...

    Torque settings

    Does anyone know where I can obtain torque settings for the V100,or better still a full service manual? The owners manual has very little information.Thanks in advance.

    E5 or E10

    Got my V100 to pick up next week,and was wondering whether they run on E10 ok,or do I need to use E5.Thanks.

    Bye all.

    Well the Stelvio is going next Wednesday,and a shiny new KTM 1190 Adventure will be taking its place in the garage.Enjoyed the Guzzi and the forum,but time to move on.Thanks to everybody on here for all the advice and banter.Cheers!

    North coast of Scotland

    A few photos of me and my mate Stew on a recent trip to the north of Scotland.Great trip,but dodging the deer at night on the way to Lochcarron was no fun!

    Front mudguards

    Rode one of the new Aprilia Caponords the other week.Did about 200 miles on it whilst my Stelvio was being serviced,and I was very impressed.The suspension was uncannily good.But,what happened to the front mudguard? In common with a lot of new bikes these days,it was cut off just (and I mean...

    Good trip yesterday

    Had a great ride out in North Wales with DragonMoto yesterday.Did around 300 miles with 44 other bikes in glorious sunshine on excellent twisties.Several Ducatis and BMW's were along for the ride together with the usual Japanese stuff.Finnished up at the Ponderossa cafe,which was really busy...

    Roller Tappets

    Does anyone know the engine number from which roller tappets started to be fitted to the Stelvio? Seems like there is a lot of confusion on this subject.

    Oil Leak

    Well,just as the weather seemed to be turning better,I have a non running Stelvio.I was outside the dealer,fortunately,when I noticed oil covering the front of the engine.Turned out to be a fractured oil cooler.The mechanic said he had not seen this before,and has put in a warranty claim,which...

    Dropped Stelvio

    Had a bit of an off on my Stelvio yesterday,25mph round a tight right hander,wet mud on the road (thanks Mr.Farmer),and the front wheel went.I managed to keep it upright,but the bike has suffered some cosmetic damage to the left hand side where it scrapped along a wall.Looks like the screen,the...

    Michelin Pilot Road 3

    Has anyone tried Michelin Pilot Road 3 tyres on their Stelvio? If so,how do you find them,and what is the wear rate like? Any information would be gratefully received,as I am thinking of replacing the stock Scorpions with these.I love the Scorpions,but they wear too fast for my liking.Cheers.

    Flickering red warning light

    Just a couple of times I have noticed the red warning light flash very briefly,for perhaps half a second,on my Stelvio.Both times it happened on the overun when shutting down from high motorway speeds.Anything to worry about? No other message,just the red light flckering.

    CARC vent

    Does anyone know what is under the cap of the CARC vent? Does the little top hat thing come off,if so is it a push fit or is it threaded? I am a little worried about water ingress after reading of a few problems on this forum,and want to investigate the vent,but obviously without damaging it.I...
