    A new Experiment - cleaning the Injectors.

    Last month my G11 was down due to an open short. Yes, I had to get a pickup ride back home from Auburn where the G11 just quit to home. So while searching for the elusive short I decided to pull the injectors and send them off to AF1 for cleaning. After possibly fixing the short (only time...

    Pursuing the wild short in a somewhat tame Goose (Griso)

    Last night I had a blown 20a fuse in the middle of my commute. Since this is the second time I'm getting used to it. The first time I took the Griso to the Dealer. It wasn't bad $100 bill with the identification of the blown fuse. I didn't expect them to find what caused it. Next time I'll...

    Careful of Aluminum Dipsticks

    I was doing my 45,000 mile service on the G11. I put the fancy Alum Dipstick in to check the new oil fill level and on unscrewing it it felt Wrong. Sure enough the rod and sheared of and into the bottom of the pan. Looking at it I can see the pin that secures the rod is not far enough away...

    A knock in the front Disks - carrier wear??

    Maybe it's because I'm getting more in tune with my G11, maybe it's because we're both old and our parts are wearing out but; I was hearing a knock in the front end and I've isolated it to the floating disks. I can replicate the sound by leaving the bike on the side stand and just moving the...

    Overheat G11 = high beam indicator??

    So today after a 75 mile ride in 95 degree heat my high beam indicator came on just before I parked the bike after a little stop & go traffic. A previous time when high beam indicator came on with a hot day I changed the mode and noticed my voltage varied between 14.3 and 14.1 volts. So it's...

    Two finger clutch??

    I've been hearing repeatedly about the Guzzi having a heavy clutch. For the last 2 months I've been two fingering my shifts yes for long stops I do use all four. What is interesting is my shifting has actually improved although I do shift at a higher pitch. because I shift by ear and not by eye.

    Wheel Bearings - when to replace?

    The Griso 1100 has about 37,000 miles on it now and after greasing the headset I was wondering about the wheel bearings. With Road Bicycles and Mountain Bikes I've always re-packed loose / replaced sealed - wheel bearings every 10,000 miles or less. When do you replace the front wheel bearings...

    Griso 1100 seat won't come off - suggestions

    When installing my Back-off stoplight blinker I used a screw under the seat as a ground. Not the latch mechanism screw but one on the side that probably held the cable. That probably was a mistake. Now I can't get the seat off and the key turns freely through 90 degrees on the latch...

    A different mod - Backoff

    Living in California we have a lot of aggressive - tailgating drivers that cause me to look in my rear view mirror every time I make an aggressive stop. So I decided to try something to wake up the typical Californian, texting, talking on the phone, putting on make-up, half-a-brain driver. The...

    A little Griso maintenance - oil pressure sending unit.

    I have been getting the dreaded red oil pressure warning light for the last couple of months. It was easy to diagnose as a sending unit problem because the light stayed on when the key was turned on and before the engine started. I learned to do the little dance of on-off-on, sometimes with a...

    I saw a Griso on the new Motogeo vid

    Jamie Robinson was riding it and it looked just like another Griso that I could rent next summer and maybe get a little instruction. Lord knows I need it.

    Strange Headlight - Griso

    On this morning's commute I used my high beam in a deer section and when I went back to my low beam it was gone. My high beam worked but no low beam. I pulled over, turned off the Griso, waited a few seconds then turned started it back up. Still no low beam so I rode the rest of the way on...

    Forgive me father for I have sinned.

    I have committed the Sin of Pride. I thought I knew enough about changing a simple brake pad change to shortcut my mistakes. My mistake was I put the spring clip on upside down. My Pride was rather than take the caliper off and reverse the clip, I reversed the clip with the caliper attached...
