Have you performed the "Decent Tune-up" and observed/set the CO Fuel Trim and balanced the throttle bodies?
-
Aaaaaah! "Champagne!"
That explains it!
-
Ha, so . . . "lounge bikes" are all good if you can roll up some serious time on them . . .
l love the "lounge room" moniker.
Not sure why . . .

Nobleswood, I moved the topic here from "How to . . . " before seeing it is about the Griso. We will likely do better to have it in "New Models."
Recent posts about an '09 Stelvio "Quatro Valvole" (per cylinder) led another member to a "roller kit" upgrade.
2013 Griso should already be addressed? So, it can't be the tappets?
"Tap-Tap" tappets?

I'm thinking your "knowledge of metal strengths/fatigues" has just increased exponentially!
Obviously, those ends are not at all up to the task!
:o -
You say "one for the lounge room" like it's a bad thing . . .

I had trouble getting a connection yesterday and remembered you have to select your model of Guzzi from the preferences first.

Hey all,
After reading this topic, I had a little check of my '00 frame. My black frame does not have the mounting points for that additional support bracket, nor do I have the extra supports hugging the transmission/bell housing on the bottom...
In other words: my engine/tranny is only mounted on 3 points: timing cover, upper bolt on the back and lower bolt all the way though at the bottom of the gearbox...
Tinus,
This is very interesting. We had always thought the RM frame and the early RedFrames were identical except for color
What is the wheelbase of the Rosso Mandello?

Goofman just checked in. Perfect 1200 rpm idle, Sport running great!
Bravo! Here's to this community!
Pete - you da man, man!

Last year's TechSession is going to be hard to top!

Glad the Stelvio is back in fine fettle! Guzzidiag, and my mercury sticks, served us well. Goofman is on his way back to the city. Seems the several stops we made the 1200SPORT was idling nicely.
It was brilliant, really, to simply set the Throttle Angle back to 4.6º, it only bumped to 4.8º when it started, so we attempted no Nasty Kludge.
Waiting to hear back (this evening) how it behaves after an hour on the road.
Hey, Pete . . . thanks, again, so very much for the assistance and the education. It is revealing to understand that is not an "idle stop screw" but actually the throttle plate screw which is preset. Also, good to know that the air screws are not used the same as a V11.
Thanks,
Pete!

I am planning on it, is it OK to invite non-Guzzi riding friends?
Of course!
-
Goofman's bringing it to The Fountain Oaks Perverse Testing Facility this afternoon and we'll see what there is to see getting the throttle plates back around.
Since we last fettled it, he installed a fresh (much needed) air filter and found one the the throttle intakes a bit unseated. Thanks, again, for the insights and encouragement!

Should just snap off
Great, thanks czakky! That was my guess but didn't want to force it.
Maybe drizzle a little of your favorite CLP into it first?
-
Dave, I should have a transmission bracket if you're interested. $60+ ship.
Get'that-get'that-get'that, too!
-
How great is that?
This year, you're gonna need a better alibi to skip the South'n Spine Raid . . .
-
(Assuming some previous owner has addressed all and every issue is likely a formula for some disappointment.)
Perhaps, but it'll provide forum fodder for the foreseeable future.
get'it-get'it-get'it-get'it . . .
-
"new bikes" . . . heh!
-
Wait . . is The Sacred Screw on the left throttle stop, or the right?
-
I found a 2000 Greenie for $5400. It looks well loved with a few miles on it. I have to assume someone fixed all the bugs, er, features.
What is the price range I should be expecting? The lowest I've seen so far is $4500.
yup, that range should cover it.
Leave something back for the various *undiscovered* fun that you will invariably want to have with it . . .

Cheesehead and Gordon have been doing this Guzzi thing for a long time.. and *know what they are doing.*
I'm glad the SpineFrames are "old enough" now to be on their to-do list.
-
Thanks guys.
Ok...sounds like I need to buy two pairs then again, haven't been able to source a place where one diameter is 22mm and the other 25mm in the same pair, they always seem to come with the same diameter on both. Superbike grips look good...thanks for the tip!
really? I've never seen grips that weren't different sizes. I like pro grips gel, BTW. Takes out that little ticking in the bars. YMMV, of course.
Right? Motorcycle grips already are sized for the the throttle tube on the right.

Hey, LowRyter, while it's "down", maybe somebody can get a read on that tripe clamp part number?
It would be telling if your triples are the early 1/2º steeper jobs . . .
What is the build date on your Sport? (I know I asked before...)
Remap
in 24/7 V11

If you connect guzzidiag and find your CO Fuel Trim set at minus 27 to minus 50 or something like that, you'll be spinning your wheels for a long time unless that gets corrected.
Same with the TPS baseline setting.
