    Stelvio Panniers need help with mounting

    I do not recall where I saw this, (perhaps SW Motech, the maker of the Traxx bags), but I have seen adapters to go from their mounts to any make of bag and from any make of bracket to their bags. What you are looking for IS out there. Maybe google SW Motech or Traxx. Zoom Zoom, John Henry

    First 500 miles with Moto Guzzi

    Welcome. Don't be afraid to ask. A word of warning: These bikes have a way of getting under your skin. Before you know it, your garage can be full of them. :D The B1100 is certainly a good all rounder. Zoom Zoom, John Henry

    Top Box - 2012 Stelvio

    I put the H-B 45L Explorer top case on mine. Yes, you will need the mounting plate, (Aulrack), that Hepco Becker sells. The top case matches well color wise with the stock panniers. What I really appreciate about the H-B is the fact that I can close and latch the box without needing a key. I...

    Agip engine oil

    Well, kind of. It is a high cam, not an overhead cam. There are still very short push rods, (cam followers), that drive rocker arms which open two valves each. Each rocker arm has two adjusters for valve lash. Zoom Zoom, John Henry

    Norge Tires`

    Steve, I had put a set of Metzler 880 Marathons on my Norge. I also put them on the LeMans. They make a radial that fits. The rear is a 170/60 rather than a 180/55 but works just fine. If you're looking for longevity, these may be what you would like. I also have no complaints regarding...

    Rain-testing the Stock CARC Vent - Myth Busting ?

    All this speculation regarding water intrusion. Has anybody besides me considered HOW, or more importantly UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS, can water intrude? Since I am not an engineer, here is my guess. Lets suppose the CARC is hot from running under normal conditions. Now, lets cool it suddenly from...

    Question for Pete:

    Oh well. I'm certainly not going to lose sleep over it. Nor am I losing sleep over the cams. Bike runs great. I'm happy. Zoom Zoom, John Henry

    Question for Pete:

    I know there has been much discussion regarding the cams. I have seen several pics recently where the oil cooler on the 2012 Stelvios appear to be considerably larger than on the previous models. Having installed a Stucchi stone guard over my cooler, I can't help but wonder if I am restricting...

    Stucchi Luigi crash bar installation questions

    No, you will just leave the nut off the other side until you fit up the guard. I used the new bolt to push out the old one. Not sure when you posted, so this may be old news to you by now. Zoom Zoom, John Henry

    Pannier Clips

    I never bothered latching those clips on the Norge I had, and they never flew off. Of course that is not a fool proof thing. Only that I never had any trouble. Zoom Zoom, John Henry

    Spanner (wrench) indicator

    Just an FYI too: The service icon, (spanner), will come on at its assigned interval regardless of weather you have already changed the oil or not. So if you decide to change the fluids at 5000 miles instrad of 6000, it will come on afterward. It is not a "smart" indicator. Then, as others have...

    Riding in 6th gear at or below 3500 RPM

    Don't get too worried about it. It is easy enough to know when you're lugging the engine. It is not unusual for me to run in 6th on flat level road @ 60 MPH. At some point, you get to an RPM where you give it gas and you can tell you're lugging it. Downshift. You can tell by the sound and feel...

    New Agostini carbon exhaust silencer

    In the pic it appears to be a heat shield for the passenger peg. Looks like it attaches to the back of the bracket for the peg. Zoom Zoom, John Henry

    Pretty nice looking camp site there. Have a great trip! Zoom Zoom, John Henry

    New Agostini carbon exhaust silencer

    Nice. I also noticed the guard ahead of that for the pipe. Tell us about that. Zoom Zoom, John Henry

    Stelvio REGISTRY & Pics thread -- ADD YOUR BIKE

    Re: Stelvio Registry I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I cannot for the life of me locate the registry. I don't have any tabs along the right or left. I figured I might get something going, but not having much luck. Following what instructions I have seen just takes me in circles. Zoom...

    Trax Top case Mount?

    Yes, they are pretty stout. I will not tell you what you shoud put in your boxes for weight. What I can tell you is that many, including myself, carry much more than anybody from the manufacturer suggests on a regular basis. That has been the case on all my bikes, not just the Stelvio. T-9...

    Trax Top case Mount?

    Another option for those interested is the H-B Explorer top case. Color wise, it matches the Trax panniers. I had originally gone with the H-B mount so I could use the top case off the EV. Later, I bought the 45L Explorer. What I do like about the H-B is that I can latch it shut and can either...

    Fuel filter?

    I guess I should try seeing in there with a small mirror and determine that. Having dealt with the filter in the Norge was much easier in the garage than had it failed under way. I'll have to check this out prior to heading out for the big trip this year. Thanks. Zoom Zoom, John Henry

    Fuel filter?

    Thanks Tex. I would say my '09 falls into the first gen category. It's nice to know there is an all metal filter in there. Hopefully the fuel line does not turn to snot and fall off. :roll: Zoom Zoom, John Henry
