I deff feel you bob, I have been there myself. And as a non mechanic I often wish I just had a 2020 Kawasaki with a warranty and 4 dealers within 50miles...BUT then I ride one any one of my Guzzi's and remember what made me fall in love to begin with. I posted a thread like this a little over 18mos ago "Fighting frustration with the brand" after I came out of work on a normal day and hopping on my 'newest, most reliable' Guzzi and finding it wouldnt shift out of/beyond 1st gear. I was madder than a wet hen..But in the end I got tons of support from the amazing people here and after 2-3 dms with Roper I was able to fix the issue in under 15mins. The bike hasn't missed a beat since!Give it some time and attention, I bet the folks here can help get you sorted shortly. Maybe start a thread with your specific issue, this is that orange Stelvio, right?
Suffered a broken shifter lever while in Tellico Plains Tn three weeks ago while on a trip and now an engine miss, running on one cylinder on this trip to Suches.Bikes need to be dependable. My 20-0 Honda Goldwing is DEPENDABLE. I’m losing my patience with Moto Guzzi real quickly! I’m blowing off steam because I’m pissed off!!!!
I’m done whining. Il deal with the issue and pack some extra spark plugs. Life is good!
I will never understand the fascination with KTM... an ugly bike that costs top-of-the-market price, with insane short service intervals, pointless technological complexity, and crap reliability... But their fans sure do love them
You might check the plug wires where they ho into the coils, make sure they haven't unplugged. The air wiggles the wire going through there. I have tied them to the fairing frame on some.Just think if you had to take all the tuperware off your Honda, OMG.
Have you done the NGK plug cap swap to your Stelvio?
+1 Bob!?
after it was turned off/parked with full tank of fuel in hot sun for 45 minutes. Started it up to move it 300 yards and it was only firing on one cylinder. 200 yards later it was firing correctly. Firing correctly this morning too so far.
And I'm sure it doesn't return enough MPGs, either....
I really don't think you have a problem here. Well, other than filling the tank then leaving it to sit in the sun.Good rule of thumb when it's hot is to fuel at the end of your rest stop or lunch break, rather than at the beginning.
