Hi Guys
I've had my Stelvio now for a little over 2 weeks, and while I am new to the Guzzi brand and not familiar with the characteristics of the engines, I have a gut feeling something isn't right.
I have done 550 mls to date and while running in have kept the revs to 4k max, as you approach the 4k mark the engine seems to misfire, its like a rev limiter coming in, took it up to 4.5k today and its still there if any thing it feels gutless especially for a 1200cc.
I have also ridden the bike at a steady 3000 rpm in both 5th and 6th gears and the engine runs very unevenly, surging forward etc.
So have I got a potential problem or is it me? Or is it something related to my oil leak. (see previous posting) I know the test bike I drove didn't feel like this because if it did I wouldn't have bought one.I would take it back to my dealer but he is 140 mls away and I was hoping to get enough miles on before going back so I could have the first service done.
Your input would be appreciated.
Cheers
