Hi,
As some of you know, I have an adorable Griso 1200 8V.
I love that piece of machinery as I loved my Harley before.
But... (oh dear...)
As I'm NOT a guy who's visiting a sportsschool, gym offen... or ever...
I also can't bend iron with bare hands...
So it's clear I'm not a Schwarzenegger type (in his good days...). :mrgreen:
Now you know (a part of) me…
My G12.
He came on the road in 2009, build in 2007.
I adore this bike, but…
What do you (other Guzzi riders) think of the force to engage the clutch?
On my Griso it’s heavy, to heavy.
I felt clutches on 2v engines, they were pretty light.
On other 4v engine also heavy, but…
Yes, again a but.
A bit more than a week ago I was visiting a large Dutch Guzzi dealer.
Two Stelvios were standing along each other, one from 2008 the other from 2011, new.
At the new one, the clutch was pretty light and comfortable.
The 2008 Stelvio, like my Griso heavy and not comfy.
Does somebody know what is changed on the clutch and or clutch master cylinder
(or slave cylinder…) at the new Stelvio and other 8v engines,
so the clutch engages light (much lighter than the 2008 version)?
Little note: that 2011 Stelvio also had a larger oil cooler than its 2008 opponent.
When you know the differences, please with part numbers.. :dry:
I don’t have parts lists of the new engines. :S
Thanks.
