Moto Guzzi Griso CARC Swingarm Service II – Mounting an Öhlins Shock and a MPC Fender

This video should give you an impression what is necessary for a Guzzi CARC swingarm service (cleaning, greasing, checking the bearings, etc.).
This is also the right moment to mount a better shock, e.g. Öhlins TTX 36,    • Öhlins TTX Technology   and a Millepercento (MPC) fender/mud guard, http://www.millepercento.com.
In Germany you can get both at DÄS Mototec (http://www.daes-mototec.de).
NOTE: When routing the brake line, ensure that it is mounted above the spacers which hold the frame plate.

1. You need a special tool for the CARC swingarm castle nut
US: https://gtmotocycles.com/products/cnc...
Europe: Kevin Drake, email: turbosuzukis at yahoo.co.uk, https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/turbosuzukis
... or the original one from Moto Guzzi (05902734).

2. A Griso has to be lifted with the method I have used (or similar, e.g. by tie down the front wheel and with a car jack under the oilpan). The original Moto Guzzi paddock stand or the one from Becker-Technik do not work here because you need free access to the footpeg support brackets (foot rest mounts).

3. Search the web for the Moto Guzzi workshop manuals (e.g. Griso1200_8V_072008_Atel .... .pdf) for instructions.

4. You can find really helpfull instructions here:

The service on a Stelvio or Breva is very similar.
