    It is going to be interesting just what % of SpineRaiders bring a SpineFrame.  Seems their rarity is on the rise.

    Even at a SpineRaid !

    I can say the inaugural South'n Spine Raid, 2004, was 100% SpineFrames (n = 4), but they were "new" bikes back then. As well as unknown quantities at the time . . .  :huh:  

    Unless something unexpected happens I'll be bringing the Coppa. Otherwise it will be the Griso.

    They make something so strong it's basically bomb proof and then..........

    Back to the original topic.

    There must be a design error to use this lockwasher in this position since more than me have "found" broken off lock tabs INSIDE of the CARC - where this piece of steel has caused critical damage til the pinion/crownwheel and bearings.

    I come to think it would be better to remove this lockwasher totally or replace it with an ordinary washer. This plus loctite only of the pinion nut only.

    It is not always belt AND suspenders are such a fine combination.

    Rolf

    Do you think the Loctite alone without the washer is enough to keep it from loosening back up?

    Sooo, this happened Saturday.

    Congrats on the bike. 

    As for the shock... does the Griso shock have the same length and travel as the Stelvio? That seems unlikely, but I don't know.

    I do know that I am very happy with my Stelvio's stock suspension.

    The Stelvio is 10mm longer but folks that have used it on the Griso say that it has actually improved the handling.

    Sooo, this happened Saturday.

    There is the matter of the Sacred (idle stop) Screw serving an indexing function in this system as opposed to the V11's which is used for "idle adjustment."

    That the ECU can "relearn parameters" is based upon that index screw being set to the correct throttle plate angle. If some hairy-arsed knuckle dragger (it wasn't me this time, @pete roper !) arsed with the stop screw, it must correctly be located again for the map to index properly to the throttle openings.

    You have guzzidiag, @Randy ?

     

    Sacred screw still had paint on it and had not been disturbed. Guzzidiag.

    Sweet! :mg:

    Comes with a story?

    Sort of.

    Owner bought it a couple of months ago but could not sort out missing and stumbling at idle and mid-range. Literally priced at a point that I couldn't pass it up.

    Idle was all over the place and it popped and banged like the 4th of July. Started with carb balance and TPS reset, helped until it warmed up and the party resumed. Upped the CO setting, helped short term but still returned. Valves were a little wide but not much.

    Finally tried Reset Learning Parameters and she settled down and purred like a kitten (or a tractor). Evidently someone wrote a new map to it and forgot to reset this so it was following its old settings.

    Now I've got to go back and tweak the CO setting because I think I've probably got it too rich.

    I thought this might be the same V11 that just sold for $9,946US on bringatrailer, but no!

    Is there a way to see what it sells for?

    I'm assuming we can find out on the site after it sells. It seems to have some after-market tweaks that I don't really care for and could hurt the value.
