    1100 several things on dash not working.

    So just to be sure, the problem was not the dash but corroded contacts in a connector under the tank? How did you get to the connector? I guess that I need to take the tank off? Did you take photos by any chance?

    1100 several things on dash not working.

    Dang, I have the same problem as Raggitash! Had my battery disconnected and on a battery tender over winter (I have no power in my garage). Got the bike going again last weekend and since then my dash only works partially - speedo, odo and rev counter work, the rest is dead. With the trip...

    Confirmed fitting aftermarket headlight bucket?

    Is anyone aware of a reasonably-priced and -working LED headlight insert (preferably with an e-mark) that fits into a Griso stock bucket without the need for custom brackets and such?

    CARC - how hot can it get?

    Of course, there isn't anything special about eni oils. Any reputable oil company will have both mineral and synthetic oils suitable for a final drive transmission. But going back to my original question, I would still be interested in others' experiences with the temperatures of their CARCs...

    CARC - how hot can it get?

    What do you expect an oil company to recommend when they have more than one suitable product? The product that makes them the highest profit, of course! I talked to my Guzzi expert again and he is adamant that the mineral based version is the oil Guzzi recommends. He has been using it for years...

    CARC - how hot can it get?

    I am puzzled by that statement. What do you want to imply here? For the record, eni Rotra is also available in a synthetic version (eni Rotra FE 75W-90) so Guzzi could have recommended or specified that one instead.

    Thanks, all good!

    CARC - how hot can it get?

    eni Rotra is the oil recommended by Guzzi (at least here in Europe) for final drives and is used by my local Guzzi dealer who, by the way, is frequented by Guzzisti from far afield (including Italy!) because of his expertise... Looking at the specs of the oil (high pressure, high temperature)...

    CARC - how hot can it get?

    Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for the next change. The eni Rotra is mineral based.

    CARC - how hot can it get?

    Actually, I was picking up the bike today from my Guzzi dealer where it had a full service, including a final drive oil change. Based on the invoice, he put in 0.38 liters of eni Rotra 80W-90.

    CARC - how hot can it get?

    Had my new (to me) Griso 1100 out for a quick ride on the Autobahn after work today, about half an hour at speeds up to 160 km/h, and when I got home I found that my CARC was very hot - almost too hot to touch. I don't remember the final drive of my 1200 Sport to get so hot but I am not sure...

    Hi from Germany!

    Greetings from Ulm, Germany! I used to live in LA until 2015 and rode a 1200 Sport over there. After a short stint on a Harley Sportster here in Germany I am now back among the Guzzisti having just purchased a Griso 1100. I've always had a weak spot for the Griso and am thrilled to have found a...

    Anyone interested in a nice aluminum dipstick?

    I've been thinking about replacing the OE plastic dipstick of my B12S with the following aluminum one: http://www.stein-dinse.biz/Moto-Guzzi/Motor/Oil-circuit/Oil-dipsticks/Oil-dipstick-Alu-Dayt-RS-1100-Sp-inj-M20x1-5x180m::2381.html Stein Dinse is a German company and as it happens I'm off to...

    Exhaust gasket alternative

    I had to replace the two exhaust gaskets of my 08 B12S that connect the header pipes to the collector. The MG part number of the gaskets is 05121630. When I looked up the price for the gaskets I balked - Harper wants $30.70 - for one!! That's a whopping $60+ dollars for two gaskets, shipping...

    1200 Sport - Norge handling.

    Ben, I'd love to read and see more about your suspension mods. I hate the way my forks behave but seem to cope with my rear shock at the moment - although, as Todd said to me, I'll probably hate the shock too as soon as I have the front end sorted. So I am looking at my options here, including...

    Headlight modulator

    I've got a headlight modulator installed on my BMW and am very happy with it. I use the bike to commute to work in LA and the flashing headlight really gets me noticed, especially when lane splitting on the freeway. The model I have is a Signal Dynamics, see...
