Griso 1100

[nicholsonj2252]

Eventually got to have a look at this after collecting it back in June . Need to turn it round quickly and then clear the lift ready for this years winter project - an 850 Le Mans



Bike is in great order , needs a service and new tyres and a few little issues addressing

Don't think one of the previous owners was electrically inclined , found this mess under three rolls of electricians tape . All stripped out now ready to be done properly







Inner and outer spark plugs replaced . Valve clearances checked new fuel filter and new air filter







Took a punt on a set of generic foot peg lowering brackets and they work a treat with a bit fettling

That wiring is atrocious, I pity you John, having to tidy up someone else's abortions

A lovely chunk of Guzzi

I am sure it will be a minter when you’ve worked your magic, glad you’ve gone 1100. This was my 12, will have an 11 at some time.

Wiring all de-pinned and repaired and a new "startus Interuptus" cable made up and fitted

Oil & oil filter changed plus new gearbox and final drive oil

New tyres ordered so get them fitted next week

did you remove the clear plastic bits from the frame , as seen in picture 1 ?
they were there to protect the frame from rubbing thro' the paint !

Andrew what are the key differences between the two (other than 100cc..)?

What a great bike the 1100 Griso.

 

[nicholsonj2252]

Tyres and MOT booked for Thursday

Much more comfortable riding position with the handlebar risers and foot peg lowering brackets fitted

I'll get it pulled out of the garage and get some decent photos taken of it later today

My 1300 gs asa is a great bike, but my goodness I miss my Guzzi's

would you mind ,
lining up all the screw heads on the throttle bodies , so they are all flat . PLEASE . both sides .
and do you not have any old towels to put the silencer on , rather than on the bare bench ?

 

[nicholsonj2252]

I’ve now lined up all of the screw heads on the throttle body clamps so they are horizontal , apologies for the serious lack of attention to detail

The silencer is being replaced with a Mistral short end can and the original will be getting machine polished and suitably wrapped for storage so you need not worry yourself about its well being

I do however have a question , the clutch switch threaded plastic portion is damaged on its tip and there is not enough good threads for the retaining nut to get hold . The Guzzi replacement is expensive and on a long lead time , is their an alternative part off another bike that fits or a workable fix ?

Just so you can sleep OK this evening

Fabulous looking bike

when you think , that they are 20 years old , they are still a quite string looking bike.
PLUS they aren't common.
