we all know how strong the GRiSO is, but has anyone documented who's GRiSO has gone the farthest? mine is a mere pup at 28,100 US miles with no major work required
what's on your odometer?

Mine is at 57,000km and counting.
The usual (grease-related) preventive maintenance and the usual PITA with faulty oil pressure sensor (resulting in red warning lights, but now replaced) and non-functioning stepper motor (leading to high idle, but now disconnected). Other than that rock solid.

Yellow bike is up to 149,000 Km.
I think Michael Wynd's GRiSO is well over 200,000 now?
There are plenty of stupidly high mileage Stelvios out there.

43000 miles smooth and quiet as a new Guzzi can be

Didn't Vic's Stelvio do 140,000 miles before he had to get amongst it? That's 225308 km's.

Yup, something like that, and he only swapped the motor because he had a much lower mileage one out of his first Stelvio. It was the clutch slipping that prompted him to go in. It spat out a shock absorber spring from the friction plate I think?

My GRiSO is also at 67,280 miles. I was working on maintenance all night on Monday. And degreased and regreased swingarm and rear linkage. My original grease job has held up and has no signs of wear due to that fact. The little seals that protect the needle bearings of dogbone assembly are engineered very well I must say. Dropped some coin on a nice set of cast Brembo wheels waiting on final component of switch which is the spindle and spacer. Roll another 66,000 on them I hope...what a machine!

30,000 miles on my '06 1100. I've had it 10 years and every year I keep telling myself to ride it more! It's suffered from the usual little niggles, Startus Interuptus was sorted by a bypass kit, fuel hose fell off the pump inside the tank sorted with a new hose, clip and filter, oil pressure sensor needed replacing, the headlight rattles but easily sorted with blu tak. It's easy to maintain, the only job I've ever farmed out was the regreasing on sthe swingarm bushes.
Aside from these small problems, the bike is a dream to ride, I dropped the forks about 8mm through the yokes which sharpened the steering up and a Beetle map was the icing on the cake. Always positive comments from others when the bike's parked up and it's always an event to see another GRiSO on the road.
I'll be keeping this one 'til I can no longer swing a leg over it.
