It was too good a deal to pass up.......

Big tank Stelvio has a (Nominally) 32 litre tank. For my round Oz trip next year I’ve just bought two Rotopax (knock off?) 5L plastic thingies. I reckon one for petrol and one for water should give me sufficient range to not have to put myself in the *high risk* demographic of urine drinking, ill prepared, shitgibbons!

It's a long damn way between fuel and water stops in Oz. But the world is your toilet... 

 

Very interested to hear how the big motor works in the Stelvio. That should give you torque and HP sort of like the elephantine KTM 1190s, right?

We know from the Griso 14 what we’ll get. A little bit more HP but a big increase in torque from 2,000 to rev limiter.

Well, pulling the top off the Cali 14 motor has been enlightening.

 

Tiny little inlet ports!

 

 

Compared to the 1200

Looks like plenty of room for porting&polishing!
