Just became the proud owner of a 2016 GRiSO 1200SE. New old stock, 5 miles when I rolled it out of the dealership yesterday. Look forward to learning more and participating on the forum. Cheers, James[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Thanks Beetle!

Eeeeek!
That means the steering head & swingarm bearings, plus shock linkage haven't been lubed for 3 years.

Just kidding, they be ok. But will need doing sooner rather than later, Luigi at the factory doesn't like getting his hands dirty.

Oh! G'day and welcome to the ghetto.

I have the Ago on my 2016 which is identical to yours, sounds great! You HAVE to get rid of the stock exhaust and while you are
at it loose the rear fender and change the license plate and turn signals to match, these bikes have a beautiful tail when that fender
is gone!

Thanks Dave, will do! Already been giving the rear fender the stink eye

Welcome! I'm down in SC and I'm planning a weekend ride either 1st or 2nd week of November if you are going to be out and about.

Thanks for the invite! I don’t get the opportunity for many long distance rides as I have two boys deep in sports that unfortunately keep me locked into short rides. If you are in the Triad area of NC let me know!

Welcome to the Ghetto. They do look nice in the red, though still not seen one in the flesh yet.

Squinternotto Posts : 7 Join date : 2019-10-13

I read on here that red is the fastest color. Bout have the chicken strips burned off the back tire, trying to prove the theory!

Different strokes for different folks. Some of us love that stock exhaust can, some would say it's a work of art...

And believe me when I say that more than a few folks will thank you for keeping that rear fender on while following you! pirat

Not to mention all of the road grime that will end up on your pillion perch and the back of your jacket...

This from a former "tail tidy" implementer...

For an abbreviated tail clean-up, just remove the extender on the tail reflector and mount the reflector directly to the fender. Thumbs Up

I don't know how anyone could love the stock exhaust, it looked like Guzzi had no choice but to put that ugly mess on there because of some sound regulation (Euro I or II) and had their hands tied!

As far as the rear fender a famous Italian once said "What Is Behind Me Is Not Important"!

Agree with Street. Me too Ooh La La

I like the stock exhaust so well, I took it off and put in a a box high on a shelf, so it can't get scratched.

Welcome to the Ghetto - only had my GRiSO for 1300kms, great bike. Haven't changed much.
