    Fried alternator wiring

    Spent the afternoon resolving electrical gremlins on the Griso... Alternator earth and charge wiring was pinched between alternator belt cover and the bottom of the fuel tank. All this is hidden between the cylinder vee and under the fuel tank. It all started when the headlight mysteriously came...

    Tyres for Griso

    Started with Metzeler Sportec M5 as original equipment & found them to be "greasy" and not predictably so. Retired them after around 9000km. Moved on to Michelin Pilot Road 3s for the next two sets and found them to be a great tyre for the type of riding I do - very confidence inspiring and stay...

    Rizoma "Reverse retro" on Griso

    Hi all, Bought a pair of Rizoma "Reverse Retro" bar end mirrors for the Griso a couple of weeks back and have just found time to fit them. I've seen several posts regarding problems with fitting these mirrors to the stock Griso bars and thought I'd share my solution. When I bought the mirrors I...

    Erratic neutral display light.

    Just experienced the same "erratic neutral light" & associated PITA associated with leaving the bike idling on its kickstand. I searched this forum & found this thread - very handy. Just returned from fixing my problem & all is good. Just needed to slide the spade connector off the sensor which...

    stainless brake hose coating crumbling

    Okay guys, here's one I haven't come across before - crumbling of the sheath on stainless steel brake lines. :eek: On my 2012 Griso, both front lines below the headlamp where they bend backwards leading to the calipers, have begun crumbling away. This of course allows water and road grime...

    What did you do to your Moto Guzzi today?

    Not actually "to" my Moto Guzzi, rather "for". Anyway, semantics aside, I made a manometer for balancing the throttle bodies. All that was required - a couple of bottles of cider (sacrificed by self ;) ), some aquarium tube, silicone glue, an offcut of timber and a couple of cable ties to hold...

    What did you do to your Moto Guzzi today?

    A while ago I made a tail tidy to eliminate the fugly rear fender and guess what? It sat on the shelf looking all jet black & mysterious for about 6 months (can't rush these things) until today, that is!!! Mwahaha. I re-used the original indicators which now attach to their own individual...

    What did you do to your Moto Guzzi today?

    As usual I rode to work and back 80km round trip :D As soon as I had doffed my riding gear I sat her up on a makeshift stand (couple of outdoor bench seats and a broom handle through the guts) and put a trolley jack under the sump to take the weight of the front end. Once that was taken care...

    Griso Suspension settings thread!

    I didn't realise how harsh my ride was with my previously posted settings till I tried wallycycle's settings - very nice for me at 80kg. Less choppy on bumpy, winding roads. Altogether smoother, less twitchy ride. Better turn in and holds the line. On the Griso I've found tyre pressures...

    GTM Fueling Info

    OK, just downed tools after a lazy Saturday afternoon installing Todd's full fueling kit (ECU, PCV/AT & BMC filter, airbox ring etc). I have to say it was a cinch to complete the job thanks to all the great 'how to' posts & other info available here on the guzzitech site. The results -...

    Griso GT-Rx® Exhaust Offerings

    Think I have an underbody exhaust woodie :blush:

    What did you do to your Moto Guzzi today?

    I rode it :D and I pressed the go button for Todd's full fuelling kit (PCV/AT, ECU) and the airbox ring w/ BMC filter. While I was in the store (online) I added the Centurion S to facilitate future home tune / servicing, TPS adjust etc 8-) Feeling like a kid the night before xmas. :woohoo...

    8V High Mileage / Good News Stories

    Approaching 20,000 km service on my 2012 G12 (bought an ex demo with 1000km on it - mostly clocked up by the manager), got a great deal & extras back in Sept last year. No dramas as yet to report. Had a funny (peculiar) electrical gremlin one night just as we were sitting down for dinner. It was...

    New Michelin Pilot Road 3s

    6 months on - still happy with the PR3's. They've been great in the rain and seem to be a fantastic "all-rounder" from Hwy to back road twisties. :D Had the bike for just over 12 months now with 8000km out of the original Metzelers and nearly 9000km on the PR3's with plenty of tread left yet 8-)

    Intermittent no start fixed

    OK folks, for a while (about 2 weeks) during winter a couple of months back - not that cold where I live in Oz, the little beastie would do all the dash bizzo but when I hit the go button - nothing. However, hold that switch for a few secs and vroom. I visually checked all connections...

    What did you do to your Moto Guzzi today?

    I gave her a bath and attended to the grime, tar, spray and other assorted crap decorating those lovely primary exhaust pipes. They were a lovely hue of tarnished copper :( so I broke out the heavy duty arsenal of power drill, various polishing buffs and crèmes, cloths etc, whipped off the side...

    New Michelin Pilot Road 3s

    I don't have any experience with Avons (have read +ve reviews on them though), glad to hear you like your pilot 2's. The Pilot Road 3's have mainly good reviews from a broad range of punters across various conditions, riding styles, road / weather variables etc and apparently return reasonable...
