Evening all. Just got a couple of questions about my 2008 4valve 1100 Griso I,d like some advice about if any of you chaps or chapesses can help.
Firstly, since Ive had the bike ( from new) The revs have always been on the highside on tickover (1300) The dealer ( which shall remain nameless cos they steam washed the paint off the frame of my first Grso....) said it couldn't be adjusted ( I took this to mean easily......ie without a laptop)but I dont believe this for a minute, since Ive had it its always raced when coming to a stop at traffic lights etc, around 200rpm till I put it in gear or blip the throttle a few times ,then it drops.What are the usual causes of this?
The shop had it back under warranty and changed the center plugs but it never helped it, to be honest the shop were always useless, the day I turned up to buy it they left me waiting for an hour while they all had lunch, should of twigged then eh?!
My other question is about exhausts and tuning , I have a 'straight through' exhaust which was on my old Griso but despite sounding great always caused pinking going up hills,Id like to use it and set the bike up accordingly but last time I did any tuning bikes had carburetors and stuff like that so I don't know much about EFI!!, what do chaps think about power commanders? Is there a easy solution, i know a mate of mine with a BMW Gs just had to rewire a relay and it enabled him to change the EFI setting to run with a open pipe set up. Is there a similar trick for Grisos? Any advice gratefully received ! Cheers m,dears! x
