Bbennett Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Nice bike. I've thought about getting one too but it seemed frustratingly redundant with my V11 Sport. Those panniers look sharp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 Also came with a Rick's customized saddle for it that would probably be good for someone with a 25" inseam (LOL) and a Corbin Gunslinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete roper Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Swingarm bearings and shock linkage bearings will need attention. Enjoy. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
