bought my griso after looking at them for 3yrs.i finally bit the bullet in sept 09 even though i had been told they were still unreliable and dealer backup is not good.after a matter of wks the clocks packed up(a regular problem).next was the speed sensor(a very regular problem)and next was a failed alternator after a total of 1900mls.the yorkshire dealer first sold me a battery thinking that was the fault but when it was diagnosed i was not reimbursed for said battery.the bike was in for 4wks of the best weather for the alternator.i picked it up in my van and took straight to bmw and traded it in! in the seventies magnetti marrelli electrics were worse than lucas,looks like things havent improved!
