| Howdy everyone, new GRiSO owner as of two weeks ago. Love the Guzzis, also have a V11 and used to have a MilleGT Looking to get the fuelling better with the aftermarket pipe and find out all the good bad and ugly stuff about the beasts. Hope to catch up with a few of you locals for a ride one day! Heres the GRiSO, V11 and MilleGT..

| Hey, I recognize that Mille, built by Jim Mott at HMR with and for his offsider. Are you he?
Went for a ride up Mt Mee and you rode my MkIII.
Welcome.
Love the V11, think you'd like my Bellagio. |

| Hi Pete, How are you, long time.. since we met on an AIGOR run 2012, it has a termignoni exhaust fitted. Up to about 4K rpm its running a bit average, pops on overrun. - Pete Roper wrote:

| Welcome Neil, There's a few of us here who also moonlight on AIGOR still. The V11 you have is a real looker.I used to have the red frame, green tank version from 2000. If MG had built the Bella like that in the first place they would have sold tons of them. Hopefully your GRiSO is a late 2012 and does not need rollerising, otherwise, send it down to Pete for the conversion and new map etc. although you must be pretty handy if you are building bikes like you have shown here.

| Hi Darrell, Here's some pics of the heads - Tom from Guzzi up here said they look like they had been done.

| Neil, the Bellagio motor is stock except for V11 rocker covers, just pipes and air box lid removed. Currently using PC5  , but the real mods are chassis geometry and plastic wheels. Turns like a 675 Street Triple. |

| Thanks for the offer Bahamazoo. I did the upload of the new map but it seems that the new map is same as what was in it, there is no discernible difference where its running a little rough between 3-4K rpm. I really need to check another one out to see if this is normal. Feels lean and pops on the overun through this range. Apart from that, its fine. I notice too that when its cold it doesnt have the same sharpness when you twist the throttle, no issue as such, just an observation. | |

| Howdy. Great pix and tales. I was happy to learn that I do not need to find a separate translator for Gold Coast Oznian to read your posts here. Or perhaps you are simply fluent in Mandarin Ozspeak. Bill | |
