Hi all, I'm Matt, new to the forum, having been browsing and learning here for a while.
I finally have my new bike - a Griso 8V se, and have already embarked on a personal journey of Illiad proportions. I will be sharing all with you over time, but for now I'd like to share some photos with you and seek some thoughts and input.
I took the cam covers off today and this is what met me, it's the same on both sides. I rode her twice yesterday, two 1/2 hour runs to collect my best friend for a wonderful xmas day of roast dinner and catch up time.
The bike is 2010, 200 miles...
Obviously it's an oil/water mix. I'm wondering if she needs to be ridden longer than the 30 - 40 minutes journeys I have made so far to burn the condensation off or if I need to look for a loose / disconnected breather somewhere. I'm not paranoid, it's just that my bike was put together by a monkey. On a friday. With a hangover. After being dumped... I'll share the rest of my Guzzi apprenticeship with you soon, this whole computer thing is a slow slog, it's late and Mr. Guinness has popped over. Also if anyone could point me to instructions on how to post more than one photo would be appreciated. I noticed a score mark on the inlet side of the covers from tangs under the bolt heads that keep the rocker assembly in place. I'll post a photo tomorrow ( maybe photos! ) and have a look at what I think may be causing it when its light. ( No garage... )
Thanks guys, and merry xmas / happy holidays to all.
Regards,
Matt.
