In a word: NO.If I were to buy a Griso, it would be an 1100 (2V(4V) motor), or 8V that came from the factory with rollers.Same goes for a Norge, 2V(4V) or 8V roller.
Just curious, whats not to like about a SE? color or spokes?
I think he's saying he LIKES the early SE. Probably the Tenni Green from 2011-2012
There is a griso SE for sale here in NZ with tappets that are bad. It's on the local trademe website. the owner is starting bidding at $1000. I'm almost keen to take the risk that the damage is only in the heads, but he is saying that tappets were fine one day, and then a month later they were not. So I take that as the engine damage is terminal.Everything else is as new..
If you buy it, consider a few things:- the labor goes at 12 or13 hours.
Installed mid - 2012 production.Labor should be closer to 4 hours.
I charge 3-4hrs, any more is gouging.Road Mike's old Stelvio today after dialing it all in, turned out nice, fueling on idle had to do a -20 for it to take throttle w/o a bog. Real nice 2010 Rollerized w/tune in ECU for pipe
So , this (2V(4V) motor , only imported to Pennsylvania ? Dusty
Quite honestly I wouldn't buy ANY 4 valve per cylinder Guzzi.
In Pennsylvania its commonly referred to as the "6V".
I just hate the inconsistency that most people call the 2 valve per cylinder motor 2V and the 4 valve per cylinder motor 8V. It should be 2V and 4V or 4V and 8V.Yes, sometimes I do have CDO (that's OCD, but, with the letters in alphabetical order as they should be). That is a lot more clear! Or, just call it a 6V
There are some 8V flat tappet bikes I like better than the later roller models.A Griso SE for instance.But I'm reluctant to purchase a flat tappet bike for obvious reasons.Just gathering some thoughts on rather to purchase and what the cost would be to convert.
Come to think of it, there is no ambiguity if 2V and 8V are used as terms. 4V is the ambiguous term. I say to heck with consistency and scrap the ambiguous term. I also don't think the earlier generation 8V engines should be lumped into the mess. They didn't have fatal flaws as far as I know.
