Mark909 Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 I finally got to see a Stelvio on the weekend. The distributors had one on their display at a bike show. No ride but I climbed aboard and liked the seating position, reminded me of my old R1150GS. I'll be interested to get a test ride and look forward to reading your thoughts on the bike.
Billd Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 I got my Stelvio. Now waiting for the paperwork. Paul, I just bought a Stelvio as well. I've put about 4600KMS on it in the last 2 weeks. Think it's a great bike. The only problem I've had with it was the trouble light started to flash on the dash. On closer inspection it was telling me that the right front signal light had burned out. Replaced the bulb, problem fixed. Got the 37ltr hard bags as well. Am interested to hear your comments about your new bike.
Paul Minnaert Posted September 18, 2009 Author Posted September 18, 2009 well, I've done 5000km now. i'ts very comfortable. With 2 on it too. My wife has been on the back for 2500km, she likes it. Best bike she has been on. Problems until now: - after a night in the rain in Mandello, the tacho sensor failed. After almost a day driving it started working again. I kow known problem, stupid is that the dash gives an alert and nothing works anymore. - Some spillover gas has left it's dark marks on the gastank. When driving with two, the headlights shine to high, and made some cardrivers real pissed, especially the one in Pisa in a Panda... .
belfastguzzi Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 well, I've done 5000km now. .... and fuel consumption?
antonio carroccio Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 and fuel consumption? ..and the luggage?
Paul Minnaert Posted September 19, 2009 Author Posted September 19, 2009 fuel consuption between 6 and 7 liter/100km. Not only on the BC but calculated at the pump too. Luggage? the topcase and small tankbag were enough to be on the road with two, a week long. No tents, only hotel.
luhbo Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 ...When driving with two, the headlights shine to high, ... Again no suitable way to adjust the riding height? Hubert
Paul Minnaert Posted September 22, 2009 Author Posted September 22, 2009 No other then making the rear hard, but my doesn't like that.
luhbo Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Changing spring preload doesn't change spring hardness (-rate). Only so much here about that. Hubert
docc Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Paul, congratulations on the new ride!! Has the tan and black "TT" with all the accessories ever officially become available?
