Is there anyone near Flagstaff Arizona that can assist me with getting my Griso to a temporary place to store while I rent a car to go home and return with a trailer. The bike was making metallic noise out of the right head then quit running. Phone is 619-884-7790. I’m at a motel presently
Thanks for all the suggestions. I had ordered a tow to take it to Prescott when my brother called and is headed my way. The problem is with the right cylinder. I. Was getting a loud metallic sound in the right cylinder and then it started dropping out then quit. I didn’t have much in the way of tools (left them home this time because the griso has always been bulletproof) I did take the cover off and all the adjustment nuts were there and tight so without any tools that’s as far as I went. Im wondering if it’s the cam chain tensioner that has failed but at 19thousand I wouldn’t think so. Thanks Tom. I do have the RV AAA and was set to use it when my brother called.
Sorry I could not be of assistance as I have guests in town this weekend that I have to entertain. I was going to suggest Jim and team at Powersports Outlet in Prescott, as they are the closest official and authorized Moto Guzzi dealer in northern Arizona. Mechanically, they should be able to diagnose the problem and help you. Keep us posted and good luck with your Griso.JJ

Tons of info and knowledge on Griso Ghetto if you weren't aware.
Just read on GT he's back in CA, broken valve springs on intake of 17' 8V motor.
Sorry I haven’t posted a follow up here. I got the bike home and pulled the valve cover to find the intake valve next to the cam chain was in the open position and the spring appears to be collapsed or broken. I recovered the two keepers and the valve cap from on top of the head but couldn’t find the part of the adjuster the sets on top of the valve stem. This motor has never been reved over 7K or abused so I’m at a loss for an explanation. The bike only has about 19,000 miles on it.

Update for those interested. I took the Griso to Todd Eagan yesterday and found out today that the damage is limited to the head. I need a new valve,spring, valve guide and valve adjuster. I feel fortunate there was no damage to the piston and cylinder.
