Most Recent Complaints
ALL 8V ENGINES MADE BY MOTO GUZZI FROM 2009 TO 2012 HAD FLAT LIFTERS THAT ARE PRONE TO FAILING. THE ONLY WAY THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN ACCIDENT IS THEY WARN BY BEING VERY NOISY AND OWNERS REPAIR THEM. PIAGGIO, WHO OWNS MOTO GUZZI, TAKES EACH CASE SEPARATELY AND MY OR MAY NOT WARRANTY THEM PLUS TAKES MONTHS AT TIMES TO DECIDE MANY TIMES LEAVING THE OWNER WITH A $2,000 REPAIR. PARTICLES FROM THE FAILING LIFTERS AND CAMS CAN DESTROY THE BEARINGS AND CAUSE A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AND DESTROY THE ENGINE. THEY HAVE KITS TO FIX IT BUT WILL NOT RECALL IT. SUZUKI HAS A SIMILAR PROBLEM ON THEIR 650 V-STROM THAT THEY SOLD FEWER OF AND THEY RECALLED THEM. ON MINE AT 2,900 MILES I REPLACED THEM TO PREVENT THE ENGINE DAMAGE AND THEY ALREADY WERE SHOWING WEAR. SOME HAVE GONE LONGER BUT THEN FURTHER ENGINE DAMAGE IS DONE. SINCE I DID MY OWN WORK IT IS NOT EVEN UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR WARRANTY EVEN WITH THE OFFER OF JUST COVER DEALER COST OF THE PARTS.
