Hey Kym,
Would it be this switch?

It's about wanting to ride, and not wanting to tow their vehicles. To buy a new bike and then be told that you have to repair the failures of the manufacturer are not great sales techniques, IMHO.
I just wanted to know if Guzzi had addressed these issues recently. Apparently not. And the oil...
Thanks, Dave and Todd. Disappointing a bit, especially #3. That has left me stranded twice on my Norge and a pal once on his (we both don't own them). Still, I love the Griso. I don't like its lack of ABS (that's just me, no flame wars, y'all), but I fear that whatever makes it to the States...
Hi all,
Helping the new Guzzi dealer in Richmond, VA, suss out some stuff. Curious whether the 2015 Grisos have any fixes to these issues:
Spark plug boots crapping out
Speedo cable susceptible to waterlogging (and killing the speedo)
Oil pressure sensor still a crap part that can (and will)...
I had two fail on my Norge, spewing oil everywhere. Have folks had the same issue on the Griso? And what's the correct part number? Too, I seem to recall a better sensor from BMW that fits the Griso & Norge 8Vs...anyone have any idea whether I've heard correctly?
Hi all,
I hope many of you can come to this event. It's a chance for folks to hear Melissa Holbrook Pierson talk about John Ryan and the passion of motorcycling. It's also a chance to hear Tom Cotter (The Harley in the Barn; The Vincent in the Barn; The Corvette in the Barn), and Earl Swift...
The best thing I like about my present and past Guzzis has been the riding...the ergonomics have been great on all the Guzzis I've owned:
2000 Jackal
2004 Breva 750
2006 Breva 1100
2007 Norge 4V
2009 Griso 8V
2012 Norge 8V
I love riding a Guzzi. I also love the character--as others have said...
The symptoms? Red triangle and oil can on the dash combined immediately with gushes of oil over the engine and the rear tire. No warning at all.
yes, you can ride, but you'll soak your rear tire with oil. Not the safest thing to do.
SUX!!
Latest update: After the dealer had my bike since 21 December, they called yesterday (29 January) to say that my bike was ready. They did the oil pressure switch and the fork rebuild under warranty (but Guzzi wouldn't warrant a full engine oil change, the bastards). So I now just have to drive...
Good lord this is getting old.
Raven is at Redline, towed their after I'd taken the rear tire off, drove it to Eppa's to have new rubber put on, drove back, put the wheel back on...and realized I didn't want to cover it with oil on the 60-mile drive to Yorktown (what with the blown oil pressure...
