My 09 Stelvio has its problems. Cyclical noise from the engine that becomes more apparent after warm up. This didn't start until 17.000km. My son can here it while we ride trough town at stop lights, He has a Harley. Head tick, right side.
I can't put my finger on exactly where in the engine its coming from, possible cam or rocker.
The clutch in neutral has always knocked a little when it was cold, but now it is really loud. If you were fifty yards away when i started it in the morning, You would here it. Now the clutch slap is there when the engine is hot. Its sound like its going to throw a rod. On the other hand the bike is smooth on the highway at 4000 RPM 114km hr. I will admit there is a undulating/ harmonics sound from the bike at 120k. Guzzi Cal, USA said there was not enough damage to replace parts...under warranty . Its not good PR to have theses issues when people here my bike start up at 6 in the morning in a northern BC camp ground, nor in rush hour on a hot summer day in the city..

To add - Vibrated off two lefthand mirrors
- High beam light melted socket, can't get it out.
- Stalls on cold morning
- Serviced at 10k -- 15k-- 20k
- Not happy

Did you get the bike at Valley Yamaha ? I'm really surprised you weren't better looked after if thats who you are dealing with . i have a buddy with an 09 here in Courtenay and he hasn't ridden it in a year because of problems . He's never managed to get it sorted out .
