Just got it firing!
My turn to rant and must admit it's been a while which is good . I've owned a Norge , a Griso and now a Stelvio and also have a great old Eldo which I'm liking more and more after reading all these posts . My clutch on the my 012 Stelvio is doing what the rest of them are doing when they are no damn good . The bike developed starteritis on a run this summer . Pretty damn embarrassing with my buds on older bikes that run when its 102 degrees in a parking lot and your trying to hit the road . On and on it goes yet I keep riding these damn bikes because I love them . My question is and I probably already know the answer " when will they get it right? "
Seems something is screwy in Italy , whether the quality of their engineering , quality control in general or maybe they've hired some lads from the Norton factory ! I just wish they would clean up their act and produce a bike that will run past it's best before date (warranty) . It's a damn shame and I am finally at the point where I'm thinking of changing steeds just for peace of mind and knowing I'm going to get home problem free . Why do other manufactures have problem free bikes and Moto Guzzi doesn't ? I'm no Pete Roper on a wrench which is probably why I shouldn't own one of these and at this stage in life have no intention of learning the trade . I know I'm not alone here and sure would enjoy some fellowship in this stew . What , if anything can the bunch of us do to change this ongoing pain in the ass situation ? i give up and will be looking at alternative rides in the New Year although I've been known to change my mind a lot on this issue , lol .
