    Griso as a Commuter?

    I think it all depends on your style of riding, the distance and type of commute (and the weather). I have taken my Griso into central London in the rush hour a few times. It's a round trip of about 120 miles, and I found that it's a bit too big for the cut and thrust of the rat race - the...

    Fuel pump and filter parting company...again

    One question that popped into my head - that if the fuel filter was outside the tank It would need some sort of support (?) and as Todd said there is a risk of getting a vapour lock as it'll have to go somewhere hot between the cylinders, plus if one of the connections failed you'd have fuel...

    Fuel pump and filter parting company...again

    Hi, thought I'd add a few lines. Just been out for the first time after I replaced the fuel filter and relocated it. and what can I say - it's like having a new, faster and smoother running bike.

    Fuel pump and filter parting company...again

    Thanks Todd. After finding some bits floating in the tank I've ordered a new filter - may be overkill I know - and I'm' going to fit it as in the pics. Why the dealer din't do it I don't know I hope that'll be the end my problems. Tim

    Fuel pump and filter parting company...again

    Hi Todd, that's an interesting point. According to the MG database it has had the mod, But no, it just hangs there, and nor was it done when I got my local Guzzi dealer to fix it the first time. Does the mod mean there is a longer hose between the pump and the filter? Will normal zip ties be OK...

    Fuel pump and filter parting company...again

    Hi, for the second time this year (and the 3rd since I bought it ) my Griso ended up in the back of a breakdown van heading to the shed of shame because the fuel filter had separated from the pump. Luckily I had the space and time to free wheel to a safe haven. Now if it had happened while I was...

    What size adaptor is needed to attach a vacuum gauge to the manifold?

    Hi all - thanks for all your advise. I'll try the local Davida dealer as soon as I can. Tim

    What size adaptor is needed to attach a vacuum gauge to the manifold?

    Sorry Todd - don't worry about my last post. I've done a bit of research and what I think you are thinking of is the fuel vapour recovery system which is US specific. Here in the UK the manifolds just have a screw and washer to seal the hole. So what I will do is see if I can order the US...

    What size adaptor is needed to attach a vacuum gauge to the manifold?

    Hi Todd, - my grisso is as I bought it - so when you say stock fittings the may have been taken off by the previous owner . Could you by any chance send me a photo of what these fittings look like. Thanks

    What size adaptor is needed to attach a vacuum gauge to the manifold?

    Hi, having lost the adaptors for my vacuum gauges over time I got some replacements but can only get 4 and 5mm diameter threaded ones. And of course the grizzo needs a larger one. So can anyone tell me what size it needs and is there a work around. Thanks Tim

    How to check the oil level

    Thanks John, so simple when you think about it. Almost too low tech! Tim

    How to check the oil level

    Hi, I for one cannot sit on the griso to keep it upright and reach the dip stick. So apart from either involving 2 people or putting the bike on stands - is it possible for one person to check the oil level at the side of a road or at a petrol station? Is there an after market dip stick...

    Griso Low Seat?

    Hi morrowbayboy. Just a suggestion as I have the same challenge. One limiting factor is that the Griso frame is wide, forcing your legs apart. So sit on the Griso without the seat (as that is the lowest you can get). If you are still not happy then a lower seat is not an option. True a...

    Self powered fuel injectors?

    Self powered fuel injectors?

    Hi, just put the Griso to bed this afternoon after a last cold ride of the year and I noticed - well heard - an intermittent whirring and clicking (a bit like a starter motor) coming from the fuel injector housing even though the keys were out of the ignition. I presumed that is was coming...

    Fuel Injection Management - Corsa Corta

    Thanks for the advise GT -Rx, So in a nutshell one of these devices does a third of the work a power commander does (can do) for roughly a third of the price. Knowing that and being a solar powered biker facing the fact that soon the Griso will be resting up for the winter, I will see if a...

    Fuel Injection Management - Corsa Corta

    Salutations, I was mousing around waiting for something happen at work and I came across this advert 'Corsa Corta 12-14 Universal Torque+ pack', boasting easy fuel injection tuning. Sounds good, seemingly will cure my Grisos' dislike to low revs/speed and cheaper than a power commander thingy...

    Side Stand Play

    HI Ad B, thanks for replying. What I noticed with my griso is that between the time the side stand plate touches the ground and takes the weight of the bike the whole arm moves about an inch outwards as if there is a warn bolt/bracket.. And as this one bolt of mild steel and a bracket stops...

    Side Stand Play

    Hi there - I was wondering if anyone knows how much play should there be between the angle when 'deploying' the side stand and the angle when it takes the weight of the bike. In fact should there be any?

    Rear Shock stuck

    Well thanks for all your advise, and thanks Todd for your offer. Sadly I will not be in the market for a new shock as I have managed to free the adjuster with the application of WD40 and patience - it turns with ease now and you can feel it click so I have not snapped anything (I think)...
