GRiSO passed TUEV test

Every 2 years you have to get your vehicles checked by a technical engineer in Germany. He will check if the bike is in proper condition and also proove emissions - which is critical when weatherconditions are cold. But the GRiSO MY 2006 fired up after more than 3 month and passed the test without any issues. We only had problems to find the EG-approval of the J.W. Speaker headlight. We found it after we stopped the engine, light was switched of... right below the center lense. ;-) Now 2 years without TUEV-trouble. Not bad for a 13 year old iitalian...

Congratulations on the "old" girl

How do you like that JW Speaker light? Is it the one with adaptive lighting

Grignapoco Posts : 114 Join date : 2015-06-06 Age : 61

Yes, it is the latest adaptive version. I love it. But I am riding in the night quiet often on curvy roads.

So it does help with the lighting when leaned over

Using all of your tyres. Cred given!

Did you make any other modifications to go on the race track ?

Grignapoco Posts : 114 Join date : 2015-06-06 Age : 61

Yes, you have to dismantel the sidestand and the sidestand mount. Otherwise you will touch the ground when cornering. By the way... this Racetrack is in France, Chambley. Will be there again this year. And in Cheneviere.

You’re really pationate. I like also the jw speaker led light. It looks like it is plug and play to mount it. Did you buy it in Germany or imported from the US ?

Grignapoco Posts : 114 Join date : 2015-06-06 Age : 61

It is available at all Parts Europe Dealers: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] ask a dealer in your area: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Easy to find here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] from Page 701...

Unfortunately the headlight does not fit in the housing of the OEM-Headlight, you need the conversion kit on page 712. Then it is really Plug & Play - and EC-approved.

How the hell do you get the bike out of that chock? I got one yesterdaty and when I tried to get my bike out, the chock is not secured to the concrete, it just slid backwards so I quit trying

Thanks Cantaloop Wink

Jerry, the adjustments need to be made just for your front wheel, so it just goes into the gate. The rubber stoppers are also critical, but really depends on the floor you have it on. There are holes which you could align bolts into into the floor of choice - as long as it's not the lounge room...

Thanks, I see now. I have mine adjusted all the way to the rear. It really cradles the front tire but a bitch to get out. I have secured it to my garage floor but I will need my sons help getting it out so I can adjust it.

Jerry, I used to have the same problem when I had another stand.... see:

Then I changed to another brand. This one widens when pulling back. So the tire comes off easily. Very helpful during the race heats... tire used to stick like glue to the stands wall. Nearely ruined my front fender when pulling back. If you like to, I could take a picture of the new one. Pretty sure you will have these in the US too.

Thanks, a picture would be nice

Cantaloop, the one in your last pic is the same as mine. I have no problem get the bike into and out of mine, but I haven't raced mine.

Thanks, looks like the one I have but the one above isn't adjustable while mine has 3 positions for the back part for larger or smaller wheels. I had mine on the largest wheel and it locked it in there pretty good. I have since moved it to the middle setting and may try the smaller setting to see if it is easier to get out. In the video the never show removing the bike only putting it in the chock
