    Oil Change. Cost and Which Oils?

    Thanks Folks! The bike is not that old. It's a '14 I bought, new, in '15. I ride it regularly, nothing out the ordinary and the tires have plenty of miles left. They're not, uh, "dishonest" per se, they always have reasons for doing what they do, but it is NY and they have a tendency to work you...

    Oil Change. Cost and Which Oils?

    Hey Folks. So, my local dealer, who I bought the California Custom from, is charging me $350.00 for a 15K oil change. That's not a typo. Now, I do live in New York City, but...really??? What do people pay for such an oil change on the 1400? Also, he said they have to change three oils...

    Cali Custom Bar Options...Eldorado?

    lvgs, thanks for circling back to this issue. Great to hear you've made it work so well, Fast. I have not changed bars...yet. I put risers on which, given the angle of the risers, bring the bars back toward you, but also up. I have an accident a year ago...hit by an NYC cab. We had to replace...

    Custom seat vs. Touring Seat

    Hey all, Wondering if anyone out there has changed from stock custom seat to the touring seat, and can report on differences...? Particularly interested in overall comfort difference, any change in foam, as the custom is on the mushy side, and, very importantly for me, is there any difference...

    Corbin seat owners, please reassure me!

    Just saw this post from a while ago. Wondering how this Corbin seat worked out? I had one on my Tiger 800. Very well made, obviously, heavy and big! For me, the lumbar was way too far back, even after a redo. Wondering about your experience, and, if you reply, your height by comparison...

    Cali Custom Bar Options...Eldorado?

    Hey Folks, I haven't seen this covered in the forum, hopefully I didn't miss it. But. Love my custom, only real issue is the pain I get from riding in the mid upper back. I believe it comes from the width and relative flat/lack of pullback of the bars. I put risers on, given the angle of the...

    Touring windshield - turbulence

    Interesting. Clarification. Is the buffeting the lowers are preventing at helmet level? I'm getting buffeting from the medium size screen...I'm 5-9...how will installing the lowers help buffeting coming at helmet level? Thanks!

    Red Warning Light Flashing

    Thanks! I don't know if I'm going crazy but I don't feel like it's always been happening, which is why it would surprise me, although I'd be relieved, if it's the alarm indicator/flasher. Todd, I'll try to get a photo of it and send. Thanks!

    Red Warning Light Flashing

    Hey Folks, I just started noticing that, after shutting down the bike, the red warning light is now flashing. One flash every five seconds. This goes on for quite a while. I just did the first service about 600 miles ago and everything checked out. This started a few days ago. The bike has...

    Guzzi Beginner Questions

    Interesting...Just curious what we would do to make that happen Thanks for the 411, gentlemen! I did do the first service. After which, the bike ran, noticeably, better....interesting. The idle and "Guzzi Shimmy-Shake" are now sharper and stronger...fine by me...and there's a bit more...

    Guzzi Beginner Questions

    Hey Folks, Forgive me if these have been covered in other posts. I'm going to just list a few newbie questions that don't get answered in our beloved owner's manual: I just got over the first 1000 miles. Whew hew! Is there anything special I should know about what to do/not to do, in...

    Another Handlebar Post

    Hey! I am also considering the riser block from Fast By Ferracci, but, like you, put an exclamation point on that $160!! If it solves the ergo issue it's a simple solution but wow, that's crazy for a riser block. Please keep us posted if you go for it!

    Added the Moto Guzzi Black Metal Mirrors

    Thanks much. I will investigate whether or not the ones I have will fit on our custom bars. Simple and elegant solution. Thanks!

    Added the Moto Guzzi Black Metal Mirrors

    Those mirrors look fantastic. Congrats! But, my friend, I have to ask you about the ROX RISERS ON YOUR BARS! Are they, in fact, rox risers, as they appear? And what size are our handlebars? I'm in desperate need of a pull back solution, and I have a set of rox risers anti-vibration risers...
