Sooo, this happened Saturday.

Sweet!

Comes with a story?

[Bbennett]

Nice bike.  I've thought about getting one too but it seemed frustratingly redundant with my V11 Sport.  Those panniers look sharp.

[Cabernet]

Ooh! That's CARC.

Sort of.

Owner bought it a couple of months ago but could not sort out missing and stumbling at idle and mid-range. Literally priced at a point that I couldn't pass it up.

Idle was all over the place and it popped and banged like the 4th of July. Started with carb balance and TPS reset, helped until it warmed up and the party resumed. Upped the CO setting, helped short term but still returned. Valves were a little wide but not much.

Finally tried Reset Learning Parameters and she settled down and purred like a kitten (or a tractor). Evidently someone wrote a new map to it and forgot to reset this so it was following its old settings.

Now I've got to go back and tweak the CO setting because I think I've probably got it too rich.

My first single swingarm bike.

[Randy]

Also came with a Rick's customized saddle for it that would probably be good for someone with a 25" inseam (LOL) and a Corbin Gunslinger

Swingarm bearings and shock linkage bearings will need attention.

 

Enjoy.

There is the matter of the Sacred (idle stop) Screw serving an indexing function in this system as opposed to the V11's which is used for "idle adjustment."

That the ECU can "relearn parameters" is based upon that index screw being set to the correct throttle plate angle. If some hairy-arsed knuckle dragger (it wasn't me this time, @pete roper !) arsed with the stop screw, it must correctly be located again for the map to index properly to the throttle openings.

You have guzzidiag, @Randy ?

Man, Grisos are just sexy.

Drop over to Grisoghetto for all the fun facts from fellow CARC bike fetishists.

Sacred screw still had paint on it and had not been disturbed. Guzzidiag.

And that piece of crap rear shock. Anyone have a Stelvio shock around they want to get rid of?

Big jugs, big pipes and an off the shoulder oil cooler, what else could you want?

Congrats on the bike. 

As for the shock... does the Griso shock have the same length and travel as the Stelvio? That seems unlikely, but I don't know.

I do know that I am very happy with my Stelvio's stock suspension.
