The Griso is not a beginners bike; even the CB1100, which is MUCH easier to ride is not beginners bike (in her case it's the excess weight, not so much the power). But this like closing the barn door after the horse has left the farm. So be very careful. She has enough torque and HP to get you in trouble and into the pearly gates before you know something is amiss. :P
Now I wanna cry, jk. I'm not so worried about the weight of the bike since I'm 6' 200 lbs. But I agree that torque and hp is something that can get me in trouble if I'm not careful. I just can't see myself parting with the little beast.
If money and space aren't major obstacles, you could easily fit a nice used 250 or 500cc bike into the garage and do some serious low speed maneuverings (including on dirt) with that littler guy. Within a few months, the Griso will seem less of a beast to handle. (jm 2bits, ymmv)
I'd love to get that map which people praise on how well it preforms in the low rpms and city ridding.
Well get the cables, download the software and we'll send you a map. Simple.Pete
I agree on the throttle cable adjustment.. It is simple, free & can make a huge differenceAlso bear in mind to slip the clutch and keep the revs up beyond what you would with the Harley!Then just practice!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You should be all sorted in time for the 2015 National in New Hampshire.
36, you might nab "youngest rider". I will be there, lord willing and the creek don't rise ;D
Wait a second-Asylum has broke the cardinal rule of this board and no one has pointed it out: The bike does not exist until WE SEE PIX!Get with it, you whippersnapper, and post some photos of your steed. BTW, RE National- do you folks ever wear name tags with your forum handle so we can see who's who?
Chuck in a couple of pics of the LH throttle body too, from behind.
Also, if this problem existed in MY2009, why does it persist in MY2014? IMO, a modern, brand-new, $13,000 motorcycle should not be a do-it-yourself project.
It's a shame, because these sort of situations may affect sales in the long run for new moto guzzi buyers.
The sacred screw has not been touched- my guess is that is what Pete was looking for.
