Is the CB1100 no more?

[Dave Swanson]

you know it's a shame when a factory puts out a product that doesnt come close to meeting its potential. the 2006 Yamaha FZ-1 comes to mind, as does the first year Yamaha FZ-09. both bikes had such horrible fueling issues as to be nearly unridable. Sounds like the Griso falls into that category as well. Fixable for $100? why in the world didnt Guzzi do it as a freebie recall? crazy.

would welcome the opportunity to ride a sorted one.

The $100 map is an unofficial map not authorized by Moto Guzzi, but it does wonders.

I must mention that a good tune is also necessary. Careful balancing of the throttle bodies and a slight tightening of the valve lash from the factory spec is necessary to take full advantage of the map.

The valve lash lash change has also been proven over many thousands of testing miles. The $100 map from Beetle will not perform at it's optimum without the valve lash change.

The end result is a complete transformation of smoothness of the engine! I can't really describe just how good the 1200 8V motor becomes after these changes.

I do think the crap stock map limited sales of the 1200 8V CARC models. Most potential buyers riding it in stock tune without any knowledge of how easy it is to transform the bike into something really special would turn their nose up.
