Fan of the bike. Not a fan of the Dealer logo. I imagine on any warm Arizona day it'll peel off without too much drama. First time I've seen that approach.

Enjoy the bike!!

my bike doesn't look that clean anymore, not even close - that was 11 years ago right after the restoration... gee time flies, so Back to the Future it is!

Not long after my arrival here on WG, and the photos of your bike impacted me. Knowing how a G5 could present softened me up and prepped me for taking on Chucks when he was ready to move on. I have a full monty shot of yours somewhere. Care to share here again? I didn't recall that you had all the crash bars mounted.

I don't see a 12 volt accessory wire in the owners manual is it hiding under the battery area?

My Dash LED screen had a huge blemish that keep getting worse, until the screen was of no use.

sent to CARMO electronics a coupe of weeks ago.  took about 2 weeks all total to come back.
LED replaced, they also said they fixed a power circuit

Good to know that there is still a fix  available for an electronic problem for our Carc bikes out there.  What was the cost and were there any hassles to accomplish it?  Thanks.

My initial contact with ICarsoft regarding my problem resetting the V7-850 Stone was positive.  They instructed me how to provide them with the LOG data of the error for their engineers to analyze.  I provided the LOG data this morning.

I remember from decades back, that in addition to the mirror thing, it was/is inadvisable to repeatedly hang a helmet from its strap. Don't recall the exact reasoning behind it but perhaps more to do with elongation/malforming of the strap, rather than anything structural.

For reference, both sides of The Pond and Downunder, as relevant everywhere:

Never heard that, but it could be sensible. What I have heard many times, is not to hang the helmet on the mirror, because over time it can compress the inner lining. I still do it, though.

I was just looking at the Transalp when I was in Daytona for Bike Week. Thats a tall bike with a lot of options. How does it compare to your Stelvio?

.. being damaged in a spot from me putting my helmet over a mirror on bikes for a few years instead of setting it down flat or hanging it from a strap.
