Just wanted to see if there were any fellow Stelvio owners out there? Let me know if you are interested in starting a sub-group to swap stories, hints and tips on accessories, maintenence and the like.

There was one at the Ekky Thump rally in October rusty
Maybe Devon John knows who the owner is

I have a 2013 Stelvio NTX. Just coming up to 12,000 miles. Most of these have been on longer distance trips abroad. Has been very relaible so far; only issue being the well known one of 'clutch groan'

I have this clutch groan too but only when the bike is cold. Goes away when hot. Any idea what causes it?

Don't know the cause but it is quite common with no longer term implications, lots on the MG forums about it. My 08 does it.

2014 stelvio (not NTX).
Yes, I have the clutch groan too. It only happens when cold and usually only the first time I pull away. Have checked with the dealer (Streffords) and they confirm what everyone else is saying. About 80% of stelvios do it and it doesn't have any long term affect.
It's a bit like us riders. We groan when we first get up out of bed in the morning. Well, those my age do
A very engaging and entertaining bike to ride at all speeds. I particularly like the lack of complication and no silly rider aids. This leads to a lovey direct connection you have when riding and maintaining it.

How many models/years are there? What is the most basic model with the least "aids"?
I really fancy one of these in the stable when I get riding again (soon (thumbs) ). Had a LeMans 25 years ago and loved it, went to Moto Strada, Keighley about 8 years ago to buy a Guzzi Quota but came away with my 4th Elefant :pinch:
cheers Marc
