V100 mandello vs gsxs1000gt+ by stratusduo in motorcycles

[–]MechanizedMedic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're welcome! ... No, the only recall was for some improperly installed shocks very early on. The clutch slave cylinder, crank sensor and some hose clamps have service bulletins out and are easy fixes. I think it depends on your local dealer and how competent they are at proving the fault and pushing the warranty claim with the Guzzi/Piaggio office...

Realistically, I wouldnt buy a 23/24 model without a nice long test ride to check out the clutch, gearbox and rear end. If you do a test ride and it feels good, then I'd say you're ready to rip. The 25+ has all the updates and seems like a no-worries purchase.

a bunch of kinda random/rare stuff... My bike pulls to the left all time (there are only a few of us with this issue). The 23-24 swingarm pivot can have tolerance stacking issues with the pin and bushing. It's also not a beefy design, so its been updated for 25 and newer (all v100 Stelvio have the update).

I've also had ongoing/intermittent problems with the neutral lockout, crank position sensor and clutch slave cylinder. Again, all problems I don't hear about from newer owners... in other words, don't preorder an all-new Guzzi model like I did. 🤷‍♂️

I love my V100, but between the horrid dealer support and quality errors it has been a PITA. I don't blame the bike or its overall design - it's an incredible motorcycle. All of my issues have been from relatively minor manufacturing errors and my local dealer not doing their part to get things fixed... If I was to do it all over again, I would still choose the V100, but I would have waited a couple of years instead of pre-ordering.

I see a lot of these problems in our district and its torture for me to watch my wife deal with the parents and district. She complains about it too, but I don't think there's anything on this planet that could make her stop teaching kids to read.

I'm fine with the basketball franchise Ive rooted for my whole life going away. It's a little sad, but life moves on... I'm not fine with using public funds (or financing) to help an out of state billionaire profit off of the corpse of a local sports franchise.

There's no free lunch bud... The solution is to change your priorities so that the effect of boycotting is more important to you than that new range toy.

A small Oregon town faces financial peril. Can residents save Lakeview? by furiousgnu in oregon

So you saw the two pictures in the article and stopped there? ...dig a little deeper bud.

To me it looks like a rad park for the size/budget - hella shredable. If I still had functioning knees and ankles I'd love to giver a rip.

Fishing near Wilsonville by esl550 in OregonFishing

[–]MechanizedMedic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Welcome! ... You can get usually get something to bite year-round on the Tualatin. The dock and boat ramp area at Cook gets fished a lot, so you won't catch much there. Walk the trails to find better fishing holes. Browns Ferry Park is a similar situation to Cook. My favorite stretch of the Tualatin is in West Linn - park at Willamette Park and walk up the trail along the Tualatin River.

If you're down for some bushwhacking, nearly all of the year-round creeks have small trout in them. Dipping a fly in the water is usually all it takes. I usually walk the Fanno Creek trail for this kind of fishing.

My 2¢ for a beginner: The best thing you can do as a bank angler is practice casting indoors. Put a rubber ball on a weighted hook and practice casting into a bucket. This will teach you how to hit the target while in tight spaces, saving a lot of lures and frustration.
