I'll take door number three, Alex..

Back in '09, a photog friend wanted to shoot some bike pics -- with "girls" -- so he lined up an aspiring model and my '07 Griso 1100. Wish I still had that bike ... and wish I, uhm, ... . Nice pic of the bike, IMO: Looking the other way, less natural light, more clothing:

You will notice a lack of power and of any real rev band. Great bike for poodling around, you can short shift 1-3-5 and still make progress. The cast iron discs corrode so wipe down after wet weather to reduce the amount of brown rust thrown about. Comfortable for a pillion with sensible footpeg position, feels like the centre of gravity is lower than a V11 LeMans so again easier to ride. The side stand is not so good, some folk fit the left lower frame rail and the long California stsnd.

The way to drill out the old hole straight is to use a bush with the same size ID as the drill and hold it against the surface and run the drill through that. Obviously the bigger the bush OD the better but this provides you with a drilling guide perpendicular to the mounting face to use. Ciao

When the gearbox is in neutral, the switch plunger goes into a shallow dish in the lower cam wheel. I'd check that you don't have too thin a seal under the switch. If so, the plunger can't extend enough to ground the circuit. When in neutral, try unwinding the switch one flat at a time, and if the light comes on, then you need a thicker seal washer. Of course then you need to be sure that the light goes out when in all 6 gears.

Greetings and best wishes to all! Today is Thanksgiving in the U.S. (I know other countries have similar holidays on different days—e.g., Canada is in Oct). This is my favorite holiday because I love to cook, eat and drink. Alas, this year with the state that things are in the Mrs. and I are passing on getting together with anyone and are laying low and staying home. I look forward to feasting next year, but I am thankful today. I hope you all are well and are enjoying the day! Cheers!

I am surely thankful for all-y'all! Happy Thanksgiving!

I contacted them about a week ago and Mr. Ed Cook provided a speedy response. https://www.af1racing.com/

Load the Meinolf map. It fixed mine. No stumble or coughing. Don't screw with the PClll.

Well, they were open 3 weeks ago when I stopped in!

Completed this following the tutorial and it has made a huge difference. TPS was 80mv. A little hard to set exactly at 157 due to the throttle not settling in exactly the same position. Settled on a consistent closing of the throttle and not snapping it closed hard to set the TPS. Never having dabbled with Guaai diag or tuner pro.....hell after 15 years of doing all my mechanical maintenance on Ducatis, Aprilia's and Triumphs, this is the first time I have ventured into the fueling adjustments and it was EASY! Lambda has now been turned off which changed the CO from -128 to "0" so left that as is. Balance was out a bit using the Motion Pro Balance tubes. Might now hook up the PCIII and get it on the dyno. Haven't bothered up to now due to the Lambda control. The bike now idles steadily where it was up and down with an occasional miss which i thought might have been a faulty/dirty crank position sensor. The tune fixed that. Also drastically reduced the constant throttle cough at 2-3k rpm around town. Only had this happen once so far. Now I can use the knowledge to balance the TB's on the ST. Great wright up!

Yes, it's a good bike.. small valve engine. I was stricken by a red Mille when I was still riding BMWs. Fortunately that Bring More Wallet Bavarian Money Waster thing was temporary.

I should have added loads of spares for the basic bike as just a variation of bikes made back into the 1970's, many T3 and on parts will fit. May not be so easy to get body parts as did not sell in very high numbers.

Remove the switch and check continuity of the switch . Push the button/pin in and see what you get . One way should be open and one way closed . If not ,, try electrical cleaner and "pop" the plunger about 20 times and keep using electrical cleaner until it works .

Pretty sure the switch is "about" the same level as the gearoil, but not below. Pretty sure you can remove the switch without much oil loss and work its actuator ball in and out with some solvent to make sure it is free. Connect the wire, ground the case of the switch and press the ball. Light comes on = switch okay. The issue certainly may indicate that the selector plates did not go back together quite right . . .

Wow, man what a kindness! Thank you, Sir! This was my mostest-worstest oil change of all thirty. Drain plug pulled its threads out in bits/ first stuck oil filter, ever/ sump fastener that holds the left side, rear aspect of the sidestand index plate pulled its threads (all in one coiled mass). As many of you already know (or suspect), when my Sport goes down (for whatever reason), I become, er, rather afflicted . . . My local (O'Reilly) auto parts store had the full M10-1.50 Stanley "Heli-Coil" kit for the drain plug. Heat gun and a friction surface (100grit paper) inside a strap wrench had the crumpled filter loose. Come first thing Monday morning, my local "Fastenal" store set me up with the M6-1.0 repair kit for the sump. It was really sketchy to get the Sport jacked high enough, then drill and (STI) tap the hole vertically upward. So, nope, standard M6 tapping will not work; must be "STI." I did, finally, prevail and had the Sport back in action in under 48 hours. The upwardly drilled hole is not perfectly aligned, but stabilized the sidestand plate and the sump does not leak. Once again, @Bob Maynard , thank you kindly for the generous and trusting offer of help!

Once again, someone comes here with a troublem looking to get rid of their V11 and, instead of throwing a bunch of low-ball offers at him, we all set to trying to help him fix it.

We are a hard bunch to please. How about this Greenie w/matching wheels?

Hi, setting the TPS to it's proper start position (which is 157mV with all connections removed) can only be done with a physical adjustment and a voltmeter - not Guzzidiag or any other software. Cheers Meinolf
