Thanks Bugsy, I didn't know the 6bhp was an allowance, Moto Guzzi have a different ECU map for france and offered to have the bike back to install it. this was obviously going to cost a fair bit and there is also a 200 mile round trip to get the work done. Incidentally, they also say the headlight is symmetrical and therefore, only needs screwing from left to right! MCN must have it wrong I think thats the quoted hp for the earlier engine, all my paperwork says 103bhp see; http://uk.motoguzzi.it/en_UK/prodotti/enduro/stelvio/stelvio_1200_4v/scheda_tecnica.aspx They say 77KW which equates to 103.258hp. The bit that matters to me is torque and I tend to ignore max horsepower now-days, however, they are right about it being top heavy, you certainly feel it at walking speed. I'm looking forward to riding on the wrong side of the road! Thanks again for the info'
