Title: Is the 2013 Griso 8V part of the rollerization situation...?
Post by: radguzzi on April 19, 2019, 08:09:54 PM

Asking for a friend... kid you not.

I fellow rider here has a thing for a 2013 Griso 8V and has asked a couple of questions about the Guzzi and I hesitate to caution him on whether that years was part of the need for rollerization unless it is...  I did not want to alarm him unnecessarily.

Appreciate any assistance here.

Best,
Rob

AFAIK, 13s were rollerized from the factory.

Thanks Chuck,
I'll let him know…  Awesome.  He is out of control, head over heels for this one and I did ot want to stop him, well, unless I had to break the bad news.

Appreciate the sanity check.

Best
Rob

The changeover point according to the factory was in the second quarter 2012. While the changeover point numbers are a bit rubbery I've never seen a 2013 model with flatties so he should be good to go. Simple way to find out is pop a rocker cover and look, ten minutes work on a Griso.

Yup, copy that.  I'll let him know.  I should be able to come up with a picture of what he will be looking at so he can get a warm fuzzy when he pops the cover off.  He is new to Guzzi... send him off with a 6mm Allen and get his first maintenance lesson.

Thanks Pete,
Rob

seems like a fair price. Could probably buy it for 7.
