Having had my Stelvio for about 6 weeks and loving every mile I am now a little distraught. Just collected the bike from Moto Strada and it's running like a bear I can't change gear smoothly and it just lurches at low speed Bike has always had a mistral end can so I assume it has been re-mapped which is causing the problem Does anyone have any top tips to restore my lovely Stelvio Obviously it's going back to Moto Strada soon as I can get it back to them. I was also a little surprised that they filled it with Motul semi synthetic 15/50 whereas I thought it was supposed to run 10/60 and fully synthetic would be better for the engine ?

Well first you need to go back to the dealer who screwed up, secondly check in the manual as to the CORRECT oil to use Guzzis DO have a range of oils for ny given model FULLY Synth is NOT always better. In fact for older bikes Fully synth can cause damage and will get past seals. I do not KNOW the carc bikes You can should you wish contact a specialist like "Opie oils" as to their reccomendation as to which oil to use. It MAY be someone has made a mistake, it happens, BUT personally I would NOT ride it in fact me I would insist THEY collect it and get it sorted and quick as any problems after some miles they could point a finger at you.
 
Some yrs ago my wife took her car to a dealer as i did not have time to do a service THEY did NOT replace the oil filler on the rocker causing oil to cover the engine bay, SHE took it back and insisted they clean the engine bay and check the engine. THEY asked IF I had looked at it and left the filler off!!!!!
The Older i Get, The Better I Was
