    How to properly re-install right exhaust header w/new gasket to mid-pipe?

    Recently the stock exhaust on my '09 Stelvio 4v began sounding much louder and "tinnier." Yesterday I isolated the problem to where the right header meets the mid-pipe (exhaust pressure blowing out to the bike's right side), and went to my dealer for new gaskets (only comes as a set of 2 - $50...

    '09 Stelvio 4v Running Poorly

    A couple of months ago I lent my Stelvio to my buddy Richard because I'd recently injured my hands in a freak accident on another bike, and wanted the Stelvio to be exercised while i can't ride. All well and good until last Thursday night, when Richard called to say that the bike stalled on one...

    4 Guzzis at Newcomb's Ranch today

    After breakfast in Wrightwood this morning my Cafe Sport & I stopped at the ranch to hang out awhile. Soon after, a couple pulled in, she on a Tenni green Griso LE. Then, a few minutes later, a red 2-valve Griso and a candy-apple- green-with-red-porkchops V11 Sport arrived. First time in my...

    Marzocchi Fork Spring upgrade

    Todd installed my new 1.05kg fork springs yesterday, and they make a helluva difference over the originals. I'd bought the Penske 8983 rear shock from Todd about a year ago, and it's night & day better than the original Sachs, but the ride had still been a bit unbalanced and the front-end dive...

    Centerstand Bolt Torque

    While returning from overnight camping I lost one of the centerstand pivot bolts (Hex socket screw M10 X 30) and its "support" (items 2 and 8 on page 3 of "Stelvio09parts.pdf"). I've removed the centerstand in the meantime until I can get replacement parts. I've tried to copy the diagram...

    Stelvio Penske monoshock - WOW!!

    I took delivery of a Penske 8983 shock from Todd a week ago Friday and installed it last Monday (BIG thanks to MG_Spd_Rcr for all your help!). After getting the bike back together (OEM shock was a hassle to uninstall), both I and Rich took it "around the block" and the difference was obvious...

    '09 Stelvio Engine Oil Sump Cap/Dipstick Holder

    Live & learn, I guess. Two days ago, I returned home after running errands on the Stelvio and started the engine oil change: drain plug removed, oil filter removed, dipstick removed. The last time I'd topped off was 2½ weeks ago, before a trip, and had "hand-tightened" (with a small wrench)...

    Stelvio "SERVICE" warning won't go away

    This afternoon I've tried to "reset service" through the "DIAGNOSTICS" mode in the dashboard "MENU", with disturbing results. A little history: Friday I went to the motorcycle show in Long Beach, in the rain. And it was raining a bit harder when I left for home. About halfway home, my...

    New Stelvio owner has saddlebag questions

    I finally have what I've secretly lusted after for ~6 months - a new red '09 Stelvio, and I'm really happy with it. My dealer has offered 10% off on accessories for the first 30 days of ownership. I'm waiting for a price quote on OEM bags, and have already gotten a quote on a set from Givi...

    V11 Cafe Sport - where's the neutral switch?

    The neutral light is intermittent, and I'd like to try cleaning the sender switch. I've located it's *general* area after reading the V11Lemans forum, where someone said that it's below the starter at the rear of the transmission. I took a picture of the general area, and saw only one wire...

    Nevada State Rally 9/18 - 9/20

    This year it's at Dayton State Park, near Virginia City. I wanna go, but I want to sleep in a bed, not in a tent. GuzziBob & SoCalDon already have a room booked at the Sugarloaf Motel in Virginia City. Anyone want to share a room??? I don't care whether you smoke, and I have earplugs to...
