Yes. And no...
This poor Stelvio has been taken apart and put back together too many times for things on the harness to be in their expected places. We ended up having to remove all of the bodywork and pull the tank to find the TomTom lead as it had been folded up behind the generator and invisible from every angle. I was actually starting to feel guilty for having recommended the TomTom Rider on the basis of the pre-wired power source. I was questioning whether or not the plug existed on the 2009 Stelvio until we pulled everything off and found it.
Which brings up another peeve. This is a two owner bike that has been fraught with problems ever since Don bought it. There was a rear main bearing failure that grenaded the original motor within the first month of his ownership. Several months later Piaggio sprung for a new motor, but it was an A5 in the A8 era. And even then, he's still had a slew of niggling problems including a leaking rear main seal that the local dealer could not identify, but two guzzisti did, at a campground, at night, with flashlights... And here's the peeve, all the work done on this bike has been completed by either of two dealers here in Northern California. While taking off all the body work and then reassembling I found three missing fasteners and two others missing their accompanying washers. For a servicing dealer to lose these items and not replace them during service is irritating to say the least.
No wonder his confidence in this bike has been shaken to the point of leaving the marque. Hopefully, between Mark's maps and all of our farkling these past two days, this Stelvio will get a second chance to provide the bliss it was meant to provide from the get-go. So far the transformation has been very well received. "It's like a whole, new motorcycle!"
Fingers crossed...
