07 Griso question

[Tennmoto]

I’ve seen an 07 Griso listed around here, so if it has the flat tappets how big a job is it to rollerize?

If it's a 2007 in the US it'll be an 1100 whic uses the 2V. Motor which is not vulnerable. It's the 2008-2012 1200-8V motors that have the tappet problem.

It will, almost certainly need swingarm bearings and probably a shock linkage at a guess but as long as the throttle bodies haven't been 'Shaved Aped' it should be just about bulletproof.

as long as the throttle oxides haven't been 'Shaved Aped' it should be just about bulletproof.

Pete

does that translate to the "sacred screw, do not touch".. or what is throttle oxides?

Sorry, posting from my phone, I'll edit for clarity. Sorry!

Thanx for replies.
I’ve seen 2 different versions of the Griso in 2007, the 8v and the 1100.
Is that a split year?

8V Griso's came out in 09 in USA, 1100's in 07. Probably the advertisers are confused w/2V, 4V, 8V labeling.
