What were the the first years that the Stevlio and Griso imported to the U.S. Did they have the same engine and were those the first bikes with CARC?
Thanks, when was the Stelvio first year and engine?
Having read your comments on the subject in a couple different threads, and noticing your profile tag, ("fingers crossed"), I would submit that possibly your dealer did not do a proper inspection. I quote Pete:"As for whether any flat tappet 8V will survive all the evidence I've seen, and I've seen as much or more than most people, is that there is a 100% attrition rate. Some take longer to fail catastrophically than others but by 20,000km EVERY engine I've been into has had significant wear.I'll reiterate the point that they don't start getting noisy, nor do the valve clearances change appreciably, until all or nearly all of the coating has flaked off the tappet face. Just because your bike isn't noisy doesn't mean it isn't destroying itself.Pete"You can, of course, do what you want with this information. At this time, Guzzi is footing the bill on the parts. Someday they will dry up and it will be difficult, or impossible to obtain said parts. Just food for thought. John Henry
